He has 7 teeth. Maybe 8. I don't really know because he won't let me look.
He is crawling fast, pulling up on everything, and trying to stand by himself.
He is drinking milk and water from a cup (straw or sippy...he has mastered both) and eating table food. His favorites are macaroni & cheese, bananas, pancakes, green beans, yogurt, pizza, cantaloupe, spaghetti, and turkey. He isn't a huge fan of sweets. He feeds himself great with his fingers (left handed).
He is saying mama, dada, bye (cutest wave ever), dog, Ezra, and tries to imitate our sounds. I can tell that he understands more and more of what we say everyday (including the word "no.")
He is very much a people person. He loves being around people at camp and will go to pretty much anyone. Lately though he has gotten more attached to me, so if someone else has him I have to make myself scarce. He reaches out for me almost every time he sees me. I love it.
He is the happiest baby I have ever met. My favorite game to play with him is "I'm gonna get you" where I crawl around after him and he gets so tickled that he collapses on the ground laughing before I even get to him. He also loooves to play with Chad and gets very excited when Chad enters the room.
Just today he started trying to stand on his own for just a second or two at a time.
Instead of posting new pictures, I thought I'd do a little slideshow of my favorite pictures and videos from the past year. It's about 7 minutes long, so get comfortable. Maybe pop some popcorn first. Happy first birthday Ezra! This year has been a blast!
