13 month walker!

This has been such a fun month so far.  Griffin has been:

• Taking steps!  He's walking all over the place.  He'll usually take a couple of steps and then slowly let himself down onto the floor, but sometimes he will take a bunch of steps in a row.  He couldn't be prouder of himself, and always has a HUGE smile when he does it.
• Eating mostly solid food - he loves green beans, peas and carrots, fruit cups, CANTALOUPE, grapes, oranges, bagels, string cheese, and omelets.  He will try pretty much anything we give him.
• Sometimes taking morning naps, sometimes skipping them and taking a longer afternoon nap.
• Drinking out of his sippy, though he still won't drink much out of it.
• Taking less bottles - 3 or 4 a day, and water the rest of the time from a sippy.
• Making hats out of pretty much anything to put on Mommy and Daddy's heads.  Lids are a favorite.
• Gesturing a ton.  he will gesture with his hand up and all his fingers out toward what he wants.
• Throwing little tantrums.  If something doesn't go his way, he will grab whatever is handy and bang it on his mouth and yell.  I try really hard not to react, but it's so hard not to laugh :)
• Riding around in his new big boy car seat.  We are still doing rear facing, but we will see how long that lasts - he's almost out of leg room.
• Super healthy!  This boy has still never been sick yet in his life.  I'm starting to think maybe he's a super hero.
• Taking everything he's given to eat and stuffing it in his mouth at the same time.  A little bit like his Daddy, I think :)

This boy cracks us up.  He's so cute and sweet, and he's funny too.  I can't wait to see what's got in store for us next.
