* 50%-75% in height and weight but has a very solid build (I always say that he seems "thick" :)
* Still talking up a storm. This month he is saying 3-4 word "sentences" and expanding his vocab daily. This stage is truly amazing. Some of his new favorite words this month: bake-able (breakable), highchair, Thomas tain (train), kiss-mas tee (Christmas tree)
Some sentences: "help me pease Daddy", "read a book", "more water pease", "yook at me!", "c'mon Sawah", "put them back in".
* He loves getting a reaction out of his big sister so taking apart puzzles, knocking down towers and stealing her lovies are all favorites. Of course, she does the same back to him, so I'd call it even at this point.
* He has a very silly personality and LOVES to make people laugh. If he gets a laugh out of you, he will say/do the same thing over and over, giggling! He loves to dance and has the funniest moves with his head and hands. His run is very bouncy and i laugh every time - someone said it looks like he's river dancing!
* teeth- he got his first 2 teeth at 8 months, then went 8 months without any new teeth, and in the last month he has had 2 teeth and 3 molars come in/break through. This kids is a drooling machine!! And it's also made for some very grumpy behavior!
* his favorite toys are still balls, blocks, cars, trucks, trains, play kitchen and now also Little people. And of course all puppies and tigers!! He is currently sleeping with 5 puppies in his crib!
* he has begun some defiance, throwing himself on the floor, yelling "NOOO!", kicking, etc but thankfully it only lasts a few seconds ...as of now.
* he's still a big eater but has been a little more picky because of the teething. His favorites are fruits, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, orange juice, peas, carrots, beans - mostly everything except m
* his personality is so funny and he has us laughing all day! He is a cuddler, can play very well independently but also loves to be with people and especially to be held or sit in laps. He adores his sister, asks about her all day, copies everything she does and says but often refuses her constant desire to hold his hand or hug him. He belly laughs often and it is the most joyful sound :)
We so love our sweet little man!!
