Things You LOVE

-Swinging doors
-Hangers!!! I would call this an unhealthy obsession

-The fireplace
-My computer. You love getting into cords!
-scooting, crawling
-Standing and cruising in your crib
-Other babies, kids, strangers, anybody that will look at you
-birds, lizards, fish, dogs, any animal that moves
-black beans, eggs, craisins, and anything we're eating
-Going to the zoo- not sure if you're more interested in the kids or animals?
-Trader Joe's
-The sound of the car turning off- you know you get to get out! Your little feet start running in place in your carseat!
-The sound of dad's keys in the door
-Dancing with dad (more like getting thrown around)
-Opening and closing drawers over and over

Things You don't Like

-Blankets on you when you sleep in our bed (a bad habit formed in Utah). One time, Daddy brought you in with just a diaper on and a blanket. Well I thought you'd be cold without it so I laid you next to me and covered you and you fell asleep, or so I thought. Pretty soon, you started pedaling and kicking your legs till you could get that blanket off of you!!

-Being stuck in the car for 9 hours. We drove to Destin, Florida and even though you were such a good sport, you do not like being strapped down for that long. 

Things I love about you

-When I am putting you down for a nap, you could be half asleep with eyes almost shut, and if you catch me peeking at you for a split second, you start giggling and then that makes me laugh so I can't help but tickle you to get you to laugh more, and then we're back at square one. But I just can't resist that little smile and giggle. You get me every time.

-You are super determined to learn how to do something in your own time. You finally learned how to crawl (you kept scooting) at 10 months in the soft Florida sand!

- You are starting to copy what we say or do. When we say "so big" you raise your arms up over your head and smile. You growl, say "caw caw" like a parrot, and pant like a dog.

- You love to sit on our laps and read books. When I turn to some pages, you get really excited because you know what actions we are going to do, you are so smart!

-You love clapping. You have the cutest little hands and smile so big when we all clap. 

You are still a momma's boy 

Cruisin around your crib leaves no time for naps! You're too busy to sleep.

 until you were so tired you just folded in half. 

You also like having no pants on. This was the second time you had taken your pants off that day.

You are looking more and more like a little boy and not a baby. Your hair is getting thicker and longer and you are thinning out as you keep moving.

You weren't really in the mood for pictures...

We love you RGP!
