Dear Wade,

You love walking!!! Your face lights up whenever you start going. When you fall, you have sort of a puzzled look and then your face breaks out into a huge grin and you get back up again! It is amazing to see your persistence. You fall over and over again, but you keep getting up for more! Yesterday you walked from my bedroom, down the hall, into the kitchen where you threw the ball that you were carrying, walked over to it, bent down and picked it up, continued on into the dining room where you finally fell on your bum. You were giggling the whole way!! Thank goodness for soft diapers, though!
Yesterday you also signed "All done" for the first time. Thanks for letting me know you were all done with your breakfast. You say mamamam, da, ceen up (clean up), hi, and a bunch of other sounds that haven't turned into words yet....at least to my ears. You are almost always happy! You don't fuss often, but when you are tired you get really clingy. You don't want to be set down, but you don't exactly want to be held either. So off to bed we go where you are pretty good about falling asleep. You wake up quite a bit during the night, though....
I love you baby!
