This little guy...

- is 13 months 2 weeks
- is sleeping through the night and in his own bed. YEA!!!!!
- says mama when he wants food and calls the dogs dada
- will point to the fan, TV, light and dogs when you ask where they are
- goes to the door when we ask if Molly and Sam need to go outside...and then he waits there calling for them until they come back
-is now bringing us books to read to him. His current favorites are Brown Bear, Goodnight moon, Lullabies and Sweet dreams, What's Wrong Little Pookie and Oh My, Oh My, Oh Dinosaurs. I swear we read each book 15 times a day.
-will make a silly face for Jane and put his hands on his head for peek-a-boo Violet when we read the Mirror Me book.
-will eat ANYTHING you give him. This week he had smoked salmon, sun dried tomatoes and artichokes.
- loves to watch other babies and kids
-enjoys riding in the buggy at the grocery store and Target
- is really into The Mickey House Clubhouse! We can't wait until he's old enough for Disney World
-is walking up a storm. He's very fast and looks like a little wide legged penguin
- likes to play with potatoes, He also gets into our tea drawer and takes all the bags out of the box and throws them on the floor. In the same drawer there are two very old packs of hot chocolate that he walks around and shakes. I am embarrassed to say he also gets out the small canister of Metamucil and walks around shaking it.
- has gotten into hiding things. He takes his small balls and tries to put them behind the TV cabinet and today I saw him trying shove one down the side of the fridge. Most toys end up under the couch.
- still loves music. He sways and bounces up and down and will even pretend like he singing. We have enrolled him in Kindermusik again next semester.
-he now has 4 teeth on top and 3 on the bottom. I think the molars are still working on making their debut
- continues to bring us so much joy and these days fun and LAUGHTER. Really, how lucky are we!!!!

YAY for sleeping through the night!!! That is awesome!
He sounds so much like Helayna - she is big into hiding and taking things out of drawers and walking around shaking them too.
He is adorable! Christmas will be so fun with him this year, hey?!
