13 Months Old

Jack is now 13 months old.  Here's what he's up to:

*He babbles quite a bit and loves to engage in conversation.  He has definitely added Papa and Nana (Hannah) to his vocabulary.

*His favorite new trick whenever I'm holding him when I'm wearing a tank top is top put his mouth on my shoulder and blow, making a lovely noise.  He thinks it's so funny.  Thank goodness he hasn't bitten down b/c those teeth are sharp!

*He still LOVES to eat.  Just stand by his high chair and call his name, and he comes speed crawling across the room.  He basically eats everything that we eat.  Unfortunately, he shovels in so much food that he totally overstuffs his mouth.  I'm so afraid he's going to choke.  He gets VERY upset when I take some out.

*He is totally done with a bottle.  We actually dropped it cold turkey, and he never seemed to miss it.

*He's discovered that he's a boy and regularly checks out his boy parts when he gets a diaper change :-)

*He is an early riser, I think between 6:30 and 7, but I would never know it.  He lays in bed and sucks his 2 fingers until Hannah wakes up and gets out of bed to find me. 

*He still takes 2 naps, but I'm afraid his morning nap will quickly be coming to an end.  This past week he's not slept at all during that time.  As long as he's content, though, I will continue to lay him down.

*He still is walking along furniture and behind toys but has yet to take any steps.  He's definitely an expert crawler.

*He has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom.

*He loves to clap, wave, and put things over his head and play peek-a-boo.

*He is such a ham!  He loves to flirt and is very good about going to people (knock on wood).  He has such a fun, happy, goofy personality.
