14 month (almost 15) update:

• walking. went from crawling everywhere, to taking a few steps, to walking and now trying to run (to catch up with daniel) in a matter of a few days.
• cuddly. loves to snuggle. especially after his nap, or in the evening when tired. he melts when the silky side of his blankie touches his cheek.
• loves music and dancing
• daredevil. climber. wants to do whatever daniel is doing, even if that means climbing up then jumping off the furniture. having two boys is going to be loads of fun!
• favorite book: goodnight moon. loves most books actually. he picks one out and backs up to sit on our lap so we read to him. he doesn't have enough attention for the whole thing though--we usually read a couple pages and he's ready for the next one.
• favorite snack: raisins. he doesn't really chew them though, so every diaper change is an experience!
• favorite food: anything on his tray. he's a meat lover though. he usually eats that first.
• no more bottle as of about a month ago!
• feeding himself. will not let anyone help him with his spoon. its messy (especially the yogurt and applesauce), but he's learning!
• communicating: uh oh. mama. dada. hi. daniel (da) signs please, thank you, and lights. uh uh uh uh uh (while pointing)...means i want that. my mom thinks he said "i want mama" the other day. it came out more "uhwamama." not many more words yet---just the important stuff for now. :)
• wants to be independent, but wants people around. doesn't want to miss any of the action.
• stinker. little dickens. gets into everything. curious. exploring. tries to copy daniel's every move. huggable. sweet. silly.
• red hair. blue eyes. eight teeth. 26 lbs. strong. strong. strong. squirmy. very hard to hold.
• sleeps 12 hrs. at night. takes one, 2-3 hr. afternoon nap.
• love him like crazy.
