Has 3 bottom teeth and cutting his first top tooth Likes Swimming Hiking Licking airport windows (ewwww) Yogurt, Cheerios, pasta Pulling hair Dislikes Being left alone (he'll crawl after me crying, 'mamamama') General This kid is giving me a run for my money!

He does this excited hard breathing as he's crawling as fast as he can, it's hilarious!  As most of you know we went to Boise for a week and it was such a good vacation. I was also very happy to see Brooks warm up to my parents r
