13 months

give or take a few days.

but who's counting?

here's alittle catch up as to what little man is up to these days.

he still hasn't mastered the walking thing YET

it's coming folks,

and then as soon as it does happen

 i'll be cussing myself out for wanting him to so bad.

he pulls up on everything and walks along the couch.

he pushes his walker around

but doesn't want to be IN it, just stand behind and push it around.

he absolutely obsessed with laundry and the laundry basket.

if he hears me go to switch clothes
he comes sprint army crawling in, stands at the dryer while i throw clothes in over his head

and then insists he sit in the basket with all the clean clothes.

i pray his love for laundry can continue for another 15ish years....

he finally started crawling like normal children do

on all 4's this weekend.

he does it kinda robotic and

d and i laugh because we are so used to the army crawl that this looks weird!

he has started throwing himself backwards from

the sitting position because we laughed one time when he did it

so now whatever it takes for us to laugh or cause an audience he does it.

i'm afraid we have a future jokester on our hands.

he's gotten alittle better in the eating department.
still only has 4 teeth and the top ones
are only about half way in.

we've finally got him to eat the few things that he will

but he so against trying new things

(no clue where he got that)

but i think he might finally be growing...alittle.

he's still wearing size 3 diapers and

12 month clothes (shirts and onsies)

6-9 month pants.

his feet are probably still a size 2.

we bought him some super adorable gray new balance tennis shoes

that are size 3 and too big

but they don't make them any smaller!

otherwise it's like newborn slippers.

he's becoming more verbal every day.

not in the respect of actually saying words

but his enunciation and grunts, if you will

are becoming obvious as to what he wants.

i can tell the difference between happy grunt,

sad grunt,

tired grunt,

whiney grunt.

you get the picture.

he's really into pointing as to what he wants.

showing us where he wants to go and what to do.

he loves opening and closing doors,

turning lights off and on.

and then proceeds to clap for himself.
so humble.


he's still very into books.
if i tell him i'll read him a book, he crawls over the the book case
and starts pulling down a bunch and crawls back over carrying one.
he definitely knows which he likes
and if you try to read one he doesn't want to look at,
good luck.
he can point out a couple different animals
and pictures that i ask.
zebra,
monkey,
crackers,
puppy,
kitty,
and all the trains.

he's discovered his tongue

and has started saying 'la-la-la' and 'ga-ga'

and will stick it out when you ask where his tongue is.

and laughs when i stick mine out at him.
prolly not a good habit to start. but whatev.

he also laughs when he farts and burps.

such a boy already!

he knows where his mouth,

his feet,

hands,

belly button

(or i should say daddy's belly button. loves to lift d's shirt up and stick his finger in it)

his hair.

he's adjusted his schedule to only 1 nap.

usually about two hours.

mommy wasn't too happy about this

but we are dealing.

he still sleeps 12ish hours every night

as long as nothing wakes him up.

(noises, coughing)

if this happens, he's up for atleast 3 hours because he thinks it's morning!

that's been interesting after we have been so spoiled with him

sleeping all night for the past 6 months.

pretty sure i forgot to post his well baby
12 months (1 year?) stats.
he was 17lbs 12oz
which put him about 10%  BELOW the entire chart.
and he was only 26inches long
which was also below the chart.
although his huge noggin was like 20%.
and if they measure necks,
he would also be negative.
that head just sits right on his shoulders.


so that pretty much sums you up,
buttercup.
i swear mommy will get to posting your entire last year of monthly pics.
remember those?
on the chair and with the calendar?
ya i have them all,
just need to get organized and find them all.
one day when things slow down...


and just because i think it's illegal to do a post
without a picture
here you go.

carpe diem
