Baby (Toddler!!!!) David Update

All About David, 13 months

This sweet boy, we love him so much!  He is 13 months old, and doing wonderfully! 

David loves to:
-pull electrical wires
-dump out bookshelves, pots and pans, CDs from the CD tower, and puzzles
-run away when it's time to get his diaper changed
-take a moment to sneak into the girls' bedroom if it's open
-go up and down stairs
-when Daddy calls, he yells excitedly, ADAH! ADAH! and pretends to talk on the phone often
-pushing cars around on the floor, chewing on marker caps, and throwing balls
-climb on things- we call him "King of the Dolls" because he climbs the dollhouse!
-when Nesi comes at him giving crazy tickles and hugs
-when Adira carries him around, mommy-style on her hip
-playing with Zaida when he babysits during Sunday morning basketball practice
-when Aunt Tammy does funny things for him
-Boys Time- Daddy takes him out so the rest of us can have Girls Time
-baths- sometimes he loves it, sometimes he hates it!
-he likes to drink water straight out of the faucet of the sink if he can grab it
-he likes to climb onto the dishwasher and into small spaces!
-he loves the big red Little Tykes car that Bonnie got the girls years ago
-take his naps- I'm trying to keep him on two naps for a while to come
-nursing!!!

Other ways he expresses himself:
-he starts throwing food on the floor when he is done
-he says "nuh nuh nuh" and waves his pointer finger when he is approaching a no-no activity!
-waving.  THIS IS HIS THING.  He is a great waver.  Hello, goodbye, just because, to family, to strangers!  He is very, very friendly!
-we are teaching him "so gentle" when he touches someone or an animal.  He used to pull hair pretty badly on the girls and Mommy but maybe that's finally going away now :)
-he says "muh muh" for mama, sometimes, when i'm lucky!
-he likes petting dogs!  not at all afraid (doesn't know to be!)
