Hello!!! Long time no blog (there may be a correlation between this and mom's final schedule). I am almost 14 months old and as busy as ever. I don't think I have any new tricks, just getting better at the old ones! I am talking more and more, walking more and more, and learning to express myself better. I have gotten "more" down pat!! I really like to point to show Mom and Dad what it is I want. I have been walking outside a lot more too and it is great, as long as I don't have to be in the grass because I don't like to get dirty or maybe it is the uneven terrain. The sunshine sure has been great though!My best friend is definitely my dog. I love Darwin so much!! Mom bought me a little stuffed animal that looks kind of like him and I like to pick it up and squeeze it!! The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is look for Darwin. When he is outside I go to the window and pound on it until he comes over to see me. He is a really good sport because I can get kind of rough... pulling his hair, etc.
My hair is getting pretty long and it is still curly! I must have gotten it from my Grandma Lisa or my Grandpa Ed. I am also getting my molars which HURT!!!! All in all, I am really starting to look like a little boy and less like a baby. I can't wait to grow taller so I can reach all the stuff Mom and Dad try to keep away from me.
Other news.... I got to play with a bunch of women at Danika's wedding shower, hang out with Grandma Pam while my parents went out for Mike's birthday, and am looking forward to a weekend in Sunriver with Gina and Andy!! Next Friday is my great-grandpa's 83rd birthday and my mom's whole family is getting together for dinner. I really like seeing my great aunts and great uncles, so I can't wait!! April 4th I have to have surgery which is not going to be fun but the doctors promise they do this procedure all the time and my parents shouldn't worry too much.
That is about it for me! Here are some pics of me with my parents and my stuffed Darwin doll......
