AJ Update

AJ is 13 months old, now, and still a complete Mommy's Boy! His teeth total eight now and are sprouting up like mad. He is somewhat slight (his pants fall off of him), somewhat serious, uncompromising, persistent and bright. AJ likes opening and closing things--doors, drawers, containers of all shapes and sizes. He can push shapes through his shape sorter, and so far he uses the following words: book, dog, ball, up, sippy, outside, look, "yuck," no, "yeah," stair, momma, dada, "quack." :) He loves singing the "Five Little Ducks" song with Mommy and Evie. He loves making faces with Evie and playing peekaboo. He is ALWAYS sucking his thumb!! He loves balls, trucks, animals and books. He loves baths but not the pool (yet) and swinging but not the slide (yet). He LOVES to be held! He can't stand NOT being held when he's with a babysitter. He is standing, cruising, and walking while holding one of Mommy or Daddy's hands, but he will not walk on his own, yet, and I have the feeling he will not be coerced into it, as everything he does must be completely his own decision. :)

As you can see, he is also adorable.
