13 Months and. . . . almost walking :)

Roman has gone from pushing his walker toy. . . . .










. . . . to getting brave. . . .


. . . . and letting go!



Four days ago he took about 6 steps but he's gotten scared since then. He'll take about 2 steps before sitting down now. He wants to walk!.... just needs to get a little more brave.:)

Roman has changed quite a bit over the past month so I need to do an update.






13 Months Old:


- Will balance & stand for a min or two without holding onto anything


- Has 10 teeth


- Completely weaned from nursing and really likes whole milk


- Has a small vocabulary including:


"ba"= ball


"pa pa"= Papa


"nanna"= banana


"mmmma"= mom


and his brand new word, as of 2 days ago, "no" :(


- Learning how to repeat words said to him


- Jabbers all the time & "tells stories"


- So, so ticklish: under his arms, on his neck, sqeezing his chubby thighs and poking his full belly. . . . . he guts laughs and curls up in a ball on the floor. It's hilarious!


- Recognizes and loves his paci (takes it out of his mouth to cry then puts it back in)


- Wears 18 month clothes


- Insists on standing up in the tub! This makes for a short & stressful bath.


- Still HATES to get dressed or get his diaper changed.


- Loves, loves, loves fruit & bread


- Gets shy occasionally when someone talks to him and he'll lay his head on my shoulder (so cute!)


- Loves to push a ball around the house......sorta like hand soccer :)


- This boy is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY






He wears me out on a daily basis. . . . . but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

I know we say this seriously every month, but I swear Roman is Evan's long lost brother. Everything you write about Roman sounds EXACTLY like Evan. Especially the part about standing up in the bath....and the pacifier.....and playing with balls....and the dislike for diaper changes. Wow they are so similar! I know I loved your little man, and I haven't even met him! :)

I am jealous of his 10 teeth! My 16 month old only has 5 and it's killing us! Super cute little man you've got there! ;)
