Got to love the baby kisses. Open mouthed, aimed for my mouth, slobbery, wet, and still adorable.

You made me laugh this morning. My, preferred, morning routine involves me sitting on the floor as I stretch, reading through my morning scripture, praying, etc.

You decided to be up early with me, and was playing on the floor. You watched me closely, then stood up, toddled into your room, found a book, toddled back out, sat on the floor next to me, spread your legs into a straddle, and read your book.

Imitation--the sincerest form of flattery.

Manners, my good sir, manners. And other than the inclination to throw yourself down backwards dramatically on the floor when you're not getting the attention you feel you deserve, your little grunt of "ah oo" when you are given something is most satisfying to hear. Giving thanks will get you far. Don't ever forget that.

You've grown again.

Last week, your toes were just barely skimming the floor as you would balance on your little ride-able doggy, trying to maneuver your way across the room.

This week, your can get a firm grip and gleefully push yourself wherever your little heart desires to go.

Sweet little lad, slow down. You truly don't have to grow up so fast. Really. It'll be okay if you slow down a little bit. Your mommy is losing her baby to quickly, and that makes her sad.

You were "yay-ing" the world.

In one month, you've gone from just barely toddling along to cruising along with no hesitation. We went to the park today and you slid down slides, tramped through mud, up hill and down hill, no problem.

You were also determined to chase the ducks, to the point where I feared you would wander off into the pond to get to them.

Hanging out

Today you learned a very bad trick. How to take off your diaper. I put you down for a nap wearing just a disposable because the cloth diapers (which are all mostly with buttons not velcro) were in the wash and I couldn't be bothered to change your outfit, again, at that precise moment.

When you woke up and started fussing around, i came in to pick you up. Only to find you standing, very proudly, in the nude, with your diaper tossed out of the bed onto the floor. Thank goodness you had apparently taken the time to utilize the diaper before tossing it out of bed.

Lesson learned: no more disposable diapers for you unless you have no access to it...
