We totally lucked out in the kid department- we are so lucky to have such a cute, happy, healthy baby (I guess he's not really a baby any more). He has sooo much personality now and picks up on things so fast it amazes me. I sat him down on the step once, he got up and I told him to go sit back down and he backed up and sat back down. I love that he is starting to understand me. He points when he wants something, and has his own little way of communicating with us (sometimes very loudly).
