I think part of the rambunctiousness comes from your new found freedom on your feet. You are a walking fool! For the longest time you would cruise around the furniture with maybe two or three steps between me and The Dad. You generally were not interested in walking. You were perfectly content and quite efficient on your knees while all your little {and younger} friends were walking circles around you. Until one day you stood up in the middle of the room without any assistance or props and walked six or seven steps to Dad. Its been all feet ever since. And all stairs. While at the cabin last month I must have climbed the stairs with you at least 100 million times. You have the going-up part perfected. Going down is still scary...for me. You have no concept of down, falling, injury, broken skulls. Sometimes you would take the safer, on-the-belly slide down option, or more often attempt the dangerous standing on two feet, step by step forward option. Inevitably you would miss a step or get distracted and, "uh oh!" down you'd go.
Your vocabulary is expanding. "Uh oh" was possibly your first word after "mama" and "dad" ("dat"). You are also very polite by saying, "Please" ("pease") a million times until you get what you want, and for breakfast it's all about "bananas" ("nananas") and "cheese.". Other words include "blanket" ("banket") and "bink" and while changing your poopy britches I said, "YUCK!" and like a little parrot you repeated "YUCK!" While I say "I love you" a million times a day, you show it with your open mouth kisses and bear hugs. My sweetest boy.
