First hair cut

This is a before picture from our day at the beach. But today I trimmed your hair for the first time ever. I saved a lock and put it in your baby book. You have the best curls, so it broke my heart to trim them. But your bangs were hanging in your eyes, so it was time. You did NOT like getting a hair cut. I did it myself. Apparently you would prefer to have long fingernails, long toenails, and long hair because you detest having any of those things cut!
Daddy taught you how to roll your hands in a circle, and give high 5. You perfected crawling this week and don't crawl anymore. You live for the water and being outside. We tried counting how many words you know last night at dinner:
Wow, Oh, Dad, Mama, Ruby (uey), Truck (dut), Bike, Hat, Light, Up, Bye, Hi, Piko (belly button, but you say bee bo), Uh oh, Boo, Bow, Boo Boo, Nana (banana), Peek a boo (pee boo). You take a 1.5-2 hour morning nap but don't take an afternoon nap. You still go to bed early and wake up early (6:15pm-5am) Once and awhile you'll "sleep in" till 6am!!

We have a walker

Yesterday you took 7 steps in a row several times a day. You walked from the beach to the ocean water line to me all on your own.
I just put all of your baby videos from your first year onto DVDs (6 of them!) I wish I had taken even more videos. I think I've taken a picture every day, but I didn't take as many videos as I wish I had! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. You have changed so much. Yesterday you learned to close a door and open it and say "Peek a boo". You will hide behind a towel and suddenly show your face and say "Peek a boo!" I taught you to take a sip of water and whisper "ahhh" refreshing! You say "Mama" in this really creepy but funny monster voice that dada taught you. Yesterday you didn't want to nurse so we might be on the brink of weaning. You seem to only want to nurse in the morning. I'm not ready for you to grow up into a toddler yet. Slow down little man!
