E woke up with a low grade temperature and runny nose so today was not the best photo shoot.

Some new things E is doing this month:

• Crawling everywhere and trying to climb things
• Likes to climb the stairs but doesn’t know how to go down safely
• Stands himself up by putting his hands on the wall or grabbing on to a toy or me
• Eating everything we give him but he’s starting to drop food on the floor if he doesn’t want it
• Learning how to drink from a sippy cup. I think we finally found one he likes.
• LOVES books. If he sees a stack of books, you better plan on “reading” all of them
• Will whisper or yell sometimes. It makes me laugh.
• Working on signing “more”
• Enjoys throwing balls on the coffee table or hard floor so they bounce
• Laughs when Joey runs toward him really fast or plays peekaboo
• Likes to go on walks (when the weather is nice)

Next month he’ll be a year old! Wowza.

Here are some pictures of my sister Christene and I through the years.
