14 Months

I'm a bit late getting this posted. It has been incredibly busy around here! Unfortunately, I don't feel like I did very good with taking pictures this past month. August has been sick for a few weeks with a cold and ear infection so it seems like there hasn't been very many picture opportunities....unless everyone wants to see pictures of runny noses, red eyes, and a very whiney boy :)

August no longer walks......he runs! With his hands behind his back?!?!?! So, guess what is the first thing to hit the wall or the floor? Yep, his head! The poor kid constantly has bruises on his head. I think that I remember when his daddy thought that it would be a cool idea to dive into the swimming pool with his hands behind his back....he didn't think about the possibility of hitting the swimming pool bottom with his head! Like father, like son :)

August LOVES to play hide and seek! I don't know if this is a good thing though! He has figured out that he can hide very well in my closet in the hanging clothes. Yesterday I didn't hear him for a while...which means that I need to go see what is going on. I couldn't find him and then I figured out that he was probably in my clothes. So, I went in and found him just standing there trying to hold in a giggle and just waiting. Am I ever going to be able to go anywhere with him???? I never understood why people put their kids on leashes.....I think that I might need to invest in one! Someone asked me the other day how I get him to sleep for 12 hours a night and not wake up. Well, the kid NEVER stops during the day. :) I wish that I could bottle some of his energy! Til next time.... August loves to climb into anything. Here he is sitting in the box of magnet toys.

Notice the beautiful fading yellow bruise on the head. He hit this exact same spot three times. Just as it was getting better, he would hit it again.
August is really into books lately. The other day I was cooking and he went and got a book and sat on the floor reading while I was cooking....of course this only lasted about 1 min. then he was on to the next thing.
Yes, he is sitting on the car.
A perfect distraction!

I never could get August to eat bananas....then I found out that if I let him take bites off a big banana then he eats almost the whole thing! He would have smiled bigger for the camera but his mouth was FULL of banana at the time. Problem is, he doesn't realize that he can't take the next bite until he swallows the first bite. Therefore, we end up with a very full mouth!
