Look out world, Huxley is walking and we couldn't be more proud! You started walking at 10 ½ months and its taken several more weeks for you to gain confidence and begin walking more than crawling. Another big milestone is that you are self-feeding and really want to do it all by yourself now. You are clapping, learning to hand things over, and passing a ball. It amazes me how much your personality is showing through now and we love our determined, inquisitive, and goofy little boy. Your favorite books right now are Little Owl, Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site, and Doggies.
Size: You weigh 24 lbs this month and fit really well in 18 month clothes. We started cloth diapers and some of your pants are really tight now while at the same time being too long.
Eating: You are an ambitious eater and have a habit of shoving food into your mouth faster than you can chew. According to Grandma, this is another trait inherited from Dad. Now that you're feeding yourself, you've become much more picky and would love to subsist on fruit and cheese. We usually give you vegetables first hoping that you'll be hungry enough to try them. You still nurse about 4 times a day, but seem to prefer it mostly for comfort and cuddles first thing in the morning and before you nap / sleep.
Sleep: You are still such a good sleeper - at least 10 hrs at night and 2 naps that last about 1 ½ hrs. Even with all that sleep, it often seems like you overtire yourself with exploring around.
Play: You love to push things around - furniture, chairs, laundry baskets, push toys, your computer table, Tupperware, your highchair, or even the stroller. You love tickles and find funny faces from Mom and Dad hilarious. Dad roughhouses with you when he gets home from work and you love being swung around and hung upside down, especially if it ends with a good tickle.
