13 Months! Whoa...

First of all... I suck at doing blog posts now. The problem is that I hate my camera- Okay, hate is a strong word... I do not like it very much anymore and very rarely remember to take photos.
My new years resolution will be to take more photos!!
Anywho... My sweet angel child Vander is 13 months today. I seriously cannot believe how quickly time goes. He is growing up so stinking fast. He does new, more hilarious things each day. His personality is just beaming through and he keeps us extremely entertained. He wants to talk so badly and tries very hard- but everything just comes out jibberish :)

Here are a few updates on Vander-
-He points at EVERYTHING and jibbers about it. His favorite is going up to our Advent Calendar (adorned with Reeses) and pointing. He also will point to the cookie jar full of Teddy Grahams and jibber. If we say "No", he melts down. If we say "Okay" he lets out a scream of excitement
-He points to his book shelf full of books each night- We pull book after book and he keeps pointing, as soon as we get to the book he wants... he lets out his famous excited yell.
-He loves going outside. (Queue excited scream)
-Going up the stairs (Excited scream again...)
-He still has no idea how to go DOWN the stairs. We are working on this... He IS getting better
-He has learned what sound a cow makes and also sometimes can make a dog sound
-He loves being chased. If you say "I'm gunna get you" he takes off in a full sprint screaming and squeeling
-He loves taking baths and loves running around the house butt naked even more
-He finally learned how to drink out of a straw about a month ago (YAY!!!)
-His favorite foods are; Pancakes, Waffles, Chicken Nuggets, Teddy Grahams, Tacos and well, practically anything. He also LOVES milk just like his mommy and daddy!!
-He likes to go into the bathroom, grab the end of the toilet paper roll and pull the toilet paper about 30 feet throughout the house.... THEN shred it. He also loves to splash in the toilet water... Equally fun...
-After he eats anything he likes to run his hands through his hair and turn all excess food into hair gel.
-We are happy to announce that he is BINKY FREE. He has gone a full week and a half with no binky and put up little to no fight
-He loves to wrap cords, chains and anything else he can around his neck. This includes, phone cords, curling iron cords, necklaces, blow dryer cords, and ANYTHING else that resembles a cord.
-He sleeps from 7pm-8am every morning. Then naps 10-12ish and then 2-4ish. Sleeps like a CHAMP!!
-He loves to explore and get into absolutely everything. All cabinets in the house are rubber banded shut for that exact reason.
-He is still the happiest little guy ever. While the tantrums have definately begun, they are few and far between. He is SUCH a joy and we adore him more than anything in this world!!

Photos to come... I'm having "issues" with my iphone which is basically my camera. It won't upload my darn photos! :)
