So big

Who is this kid? I don't even know anymore! I feel like since he started walking his little personality has just blossomed! I know, I know...almost every post is about my child but he is doing so many fun things right now I don't want to forget. The picture up top describes my every day. He is such a sweet little guy. He'll be around the house playing, but he always finds me to check in. He'll grab my leg and I'll look down and that is the precious little face I see not all the time, but most of the time. The other times usually he is screaming wanting to be picked up...also a new move.

This kid loves books. He brings me books all day to read to him. Right now, he's loving "Does a Kangaroo have a Mother too?" He says "ya" after everything. He answers every animal question with a "ya". I need to take a video of that. I'm hoping the fact that he says "ya" instead of "no" means he'll be an obedient little fella.

I feel like in the past 2 weeks he's grown more than in the last 6 months. In the last month he's learned to pull to stand, walk, get up when he falls, sit up, and stand up on his own. You can just see the wheels constantly turning in his head.

Our day consists of him walking, falling, getting a bruise and the cycle starting all over.

Now that he can walk, he is in everything. I thought he was a mellow kid...not anymore. I turn my back and he's playing in the toilet, ripping out the toilet paper, eating my make-up brushes, etc. He can sniff it out the second I open the dishwasher or bathroom door, his two favorite places. He moves everything around all day. I spent forever looking for his shoe yesterday...he'd stuffed it in a cupboard.

He likes to get in the closet and play with the on and off button on the vacuum. I'll pull it out and plug it in and ahhh....the little stinker gets me every time. It scares the crap out of me when it fires right up!

Okay, I'll stop but I am enjoying this age so much. I tell Dave when he's asleep, I'm actually excited now for him to wake up so I can play with him. I have the best job ever.

P.S. Mothers what is the best way to get your kid off the bottle. I really need to get him off before the move. He just won't drink a ton out of the sippy so I'm worried he's not getting enough milk??

He's so cute, it was great to see him the other day :) Do you have the book "I'll Love You Forever"? That's what I thought of when you mentioned him pulling the toilet paper off! Oh and I do the same on my blog, it's all I talk about but who cares :)

How are you coming with the move?

So cute Suzy! All your posts should be about the little guy :) He is adorable! I just realized I won't get to see you guys now when I come down to Utah cuz you'll already be in Scranton! But I am so excited for you guys. PS try and get onto State insurance as soon as you get there-the boys are on and I just barely got accepted.

He is such a sweet guy! You need to bring him over to play (now that he can get away from Derek when he needs to heh, heh).
