the boy's life progress

-he started walking at 13 months old, right around or on June 30th
-he walks around with a tissue making a sound that sounds like he's blowing his nose, or walks around with anything held up to his ear whilst having a baby conversation with himself
-he waves hello and goodbye by holding his arm out to you in the air and rubbing his index finger and thumb together. It looks like the unofficial sign language for money.
-He has added the word "hi" to his vocabulary, and he says it so clearly
-walking has set him free from us and made him independent so he's learned to whine when he can't do what he wants. we rarely hear oscar cry and if he whines it's always been because he's either tired, hungry, sick, or in need of a diaper change. The whining is a very new adventure for us and I feel like it's my first real taste of parenting
-since the whining has begun, the discipline has begun and instead of laughing in my face when i say "no," he now sheds lots of tears, seems VERY hurt, and sticks his bottom lip out to pout as far as he can get it
-for the most part he's really eating adult food. he usually gets a modified, less salted, less sugared, less greased up version of what we eat
-he's recently moved on from a love affair with apples to his new found love-grapes.
-he seems to prefer his left hand to to most things, we might have a lefty on our hands
-he's learned how to give kisses on demand and bite out of frustration
-he still is obsessed with climbing up the stairs, but does not know how to get down
-his dancing keeps getting better and better, and his rhythm only improves with every song he dances to. he should have some signature moves down by next year
-he loves to point and say "oh ssat," (translation: "oh what's that?") to his picture of Jesus above his bed and to his new mobile when he wakes up from a nap
-he says "meh men" (tanslation: "amen")after a prayer
-he still takes two naps a day for a total of 2-3 hours and sleeps about 13 hrs at night-7pm-8am
-he weighs somewhere between 27 and 28 pounds
-he doesn't have his molars yet
-he loves his cousins
-his favorite person is his daddy
- he can open the doors to bedrooms and bathrooms inside of our house
-he doesn't like sippy cups, he loves water and prefers to drink it from an adult cup or water bottle


Sorry so boring, this blog has really just become some kind of documentation since I don't write anything else down.
