You had taken a few steps here and there, but on Monday, May 14, you made up your mind to switch from all fours to two legs and never looked back. You still have a hard time getting back up once you've fallen, but I'm sure you'll be cruising everywhere in no time!
* You've begun eating with a fork and spoon. Mommy still helps to scoop up the food, but you're a pro at getting it to the mouth.
* You're becoming more accustomed to cow's milk. Water is still your favorite beverage - using a sippy cup of course.
* A bottle before bed is still routine and another is sometimes added around the 3:00 p.m. hour if you're refusing to nap :)
* Sleeping through the night is the norm now. . . hallelujah!!
* You've created a nice little daily schedule. We are of course flexible if out and about, but for the most part, this is your routine: wake between 7-7:30, nap around 10ish for 1-1.5 hours, lunch at noon, another nap around 2:30-3 p.m. for 2-2.5 hours, dinner at 6, bottle and bed at 8:30.
* You have little interest in Baby Einstein DVDs or any other cartoon for that matter. Baby Faith is still your favorite.
* You still dance whenever music is played and you LOVE when Mommy sings the 'Clean-Up' song.
* Two molars (top right and top left) poked through on May 20 - 10 teeth now!
* You know how to remove every outlet cover and have figured out a few cabinet locks. You love to climb the stairs and can pop something in your mouth quicker than I can retrieve it. You definitely keep me on my toes!
* Lots of words are in the making, and I'm confident you'll be communicating verbally in no time. You say Da-Da, Hi, Ma-Ma (rarely, but I know you can :) ), cheese, this, and make the 't' sound for Tank. We were also watching your Baby Faith DVD and I just know you said 'Jesus'. So cute!
* You love to be messy. Dirt is your friend, and mealtime isn't complete without you smearing your face and hair with remnants from the meal.
* You LOVE water. Bathtime is still a favorite and we also visited the fountains at The Streets. You were fearless!
* Riding in your car is a favorite outdoor activity. It's a good thing, because it kept you busy during Mommy's garage sale a few weekends ago. When it's time to come inside you just cry and cry :(
* You moved to a big boy car seat (still rear-facing due to new guidelines) and a big boy stroller. Bye-bye infant carrier/travel system!
* You've finally found a love for books. You will independently choose one to look through and will even sit in Mommy's lap to listen to a story or two. Yay!
* Your blond curls have my heart. Don't know how I'm going to find the strength to cut them one day.
* You wake up so happy with a smile that makes my day. You also think it's funny to throw your paci outside of your crib, point to it, and wait for Mommy to get it.
* I may be biased, but you are just about the cutest little guy I know. We even get compliments from complete strangers on how sweet you are - I must agree!
* Your favorite room in the house is Daddy's office. Lots of buttons, wires, and things to touch - not to mention that's where Daddy resides most of the day. You love him to pieces!
