A Short Update

First I'll apologize for the lack of pictures. I have taken a few, and I will even admit that when I picked up my camera this afternoon that it still had Christmas pictures left on the memory card (ouch!). I had big plans of taking Monty to the nature center today, I even put him in an extra cute outfit, but by the time we had made it to our first "picture-taking-spot" Monty was snoozing away in his stroller. Crap. Two hours and several miles of walking later, I ended up waking him up to put him back in his car seat :-(

So due to the lack of good weather and my poor planning, we are picture-less. Sorry.

Now for a Monty update.

He has really started to mature, and is just growing up so fast. It seems like he learns something new each day. Right now his current vocabulary includes:

• Ready
• More (in relation to food)
• Moma
• Daddy
• Dog (followed by woof-woof)
• Ball
• Nana & Papa
• And a few different words in sign language that he has learned at the baby sitters

His current loves of life are balls, mega blocks and generally getting into things that he shouldn't be in. He loves to go through the drawers in the bathroom, and rearrange everything. He thinks it's hilarious to pull off his shoes and socks. And, has made the leap from formula to whole milk in just a couple of weeks.

He has recently gone through a growth spurt as well. I actually just noticed this today when two pairs of his pants were too short, bummer! He has also outgrown all of his shoes, which has left me in a small frenzy because he still isn't walking, and I'm just not a big fan of buying more crib or pre-walker shoes since he's so big now. Hopefully he'll take the leap into the wonderful world of walking soon.
