He has really developed a lot lately and has such a wild personality! We are learning he is not afraid of anything and likes to be independent. He's learning so many things…for example when we ask him if he wants to take a bath …he'll run right to the bathtub, and get all excited and eager for you to take all his clothes off, so he can jump right in and play with the water coming out of the faucet. You ask him if he wants a snack and he runs to the pantry and starts beating on the door…NAK! NAK! NAK! He knows what it means to put on your shoes and socks and he loves it! It's about one of the only things he will sit still for…… He also likes you to take them off……only so you can put them right back on again...
He's not a big fan of eating much anymore. He'll eat really good for like one day out of the week and the other days he'll snack and pick and play with his food more than eat it. He'd much rather play and run around than eat, or eat while playing and running around. We are working on that……and it's frustrating to be honest. We spend a lot of time in the high chair trying to get him to eat healthily, good food…but all he really wants to eat are snacks, cheese, yogurt and bread. He does still eat most meats and some fruits like bananas and apples and some veggies like green peas and a few other things (but just not as much as I'd like). He loves his milk but still probably doesn't get much more than 18 oz a day, if that. He also likes fruit smoothies as well, so that helps for those days when he just won't eat anything else. I also hate to feed him the same thing everyday, but it's almost hard not to do that when he won't eat anything else! Advice??
He's still wearing mostly 12 month clothes and talking up a storm. He knows what the word No means...but doesn't always follow the command. It's hard to remember all of his 'words' but here's a list of what I can think of right now. I'm also pretty sure I don't even know all the words - Granny seems to teach him a new word everyday :)
Shoes (shos)
Socks (sok)
Duck
Truck (tuck)
Ball (ba)
SpongeBob (sponbob)

That - (dat) - he says that when he wants you to tell him what 'dat' is.
Bye Bye - he waves hey and bye bye too
Done (doe)
Bath (baba)
ahhh!! ...haha, he just likes to scream a lot in general
What am I forgetting, people?
He now walks everywhere! And does not want to be held much at all - Mr. Independent! He pitches a fit if you try and stop him from walking around…and he never walks where you want him to walk either. He always heads for the steps, if there are any nearby. He's a climber and an explorer that's for sure! I'm also fairly certain he's going to play some type of baseball or soccer or hockey or something. He's really good at throwing balls and kicking balls and even calmly setting the ball down on the floor and then whacking it as hard as he can with his hand to watch it fly across the room. The boy has aim too! Here's the climber himself:
