"A portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2014."

My little reader!  If you're not wanting to read your books, you're wanting to go over to your bookshelf and pull them all off.  You keep me busy straightening up!

Just like your papa, you like your meat!  All gone.

Welp, you skipped right over the bottle and now drink from a sippy cup.  I tried so hard for you to take a bottle when you were younger, and you wanted nothing to do with it.  (And still don't!)  Now you graduated to big boy status and like to drink your water out of a cup.  So much for all those "bottle training" days!  

I'm secretly glad you never liked a bottle.  Just means more nursing time!

You are one curious little monkey as of late.  You like to crawl around and get into everything which leads to some bumps and bruises (evidenced by that one on your forehead).  Anything that you're not suppose to have, you want!

You're such a pro at finger foods now!

A lot has been happening for you this week, little bug.  You started pulling up on everything that will hold your weight - bookshelf, play table, cardboard box.  All you want to do is stand and move around by yourself...such a big boy!  You also started waving and saying "hi" to us.  It pretty much melts our heart!  Every morning you look over at your papa and say "hi papa!"  It makes him wake up with a smile when he's not even a morning person.  And you are still loving your bath time.  If we'd let you stay in there all night, I'm sure you would!

Even though you're growing up so fast, you still like to cuddle after nap time and sit in my lap when you play with your toys.  You are such a sweetheart!
