The good:
He is 1 year today! He loves peanut butter sandwiches, oatmeal, bananas (and basically any fruit), yogurt, sweet potatoes, and any carbs. He's been walking since 10 months old so now he's upgrading to a "baby run" that cracks me up. He loves to steal things from Carly and as soon as she notices, he makes a dash to get away (generally under the kitchen table or into a corner lol). He especially loves to steal her soft stuffed animals & her juice cup. He is into growling and all kinds of noises. He's a climber and wants to climb up on the couch whenever we're sitting there, but he doesn't want to sit still. Go figure. He likes balls and whenever he sees Daddy's basketball, he wants to walk around with it (even though it's the same size as him). He can hold himself on the monkey bars for a good 30 seconds (he can outlast Carly).
The bad:
He cannot lay still for a diaper change. He is trying to roll over and get away the instant you get him on his back. It makes for interesting diaper changes & is often scary if he's poopy. He also doesn't like to stay still to get dressed or undressed. In his culture, diaper changes and getting dressed must be some sort of torture. It'll get better someday, right? :D He is one messy guy. He likes to squish food in his hands & fingers and throw food on the floor (however, now I'm thinking it's because he's hoping it'll stay there so he can snack on it later). It sure is interesting having a boy and seeing the big differences between him and Carly.
That sweet little face has my heart. Love him to pieces.
