13 months

This handsome little guy is already 13 months old...and look at him, he thinks he's four! He is definitely an independent little feller and will let you know when he wants something. When he is fussy I say he takes after daddy...when he is happy and joyful I say he takes after mommy :) Most of the time he is happy and joyful...just don't change his diaper, try to dress him, or put shoes on him. This is probably not how you are supposed to do things (as in you won't find this in any parenting books), but when we don't want to hear him cry and fuss, like when we change his diaper or get him dressed, we give him a bottle :) that always makes everything go so much smoother. I don't think that is teaching him anything, but it sure helps our ears a little bit. He hasn't started saying much other then his favorite word "up", and he still spits out pretty much everything we give him but milk and dirt...well we don't give him dirt, but he will eat dirt if we let him...surely that can't taste better then strawberries and bananas??? To him I guess it does...go figure.
