Big boy

Here's our big 1 year old! Today is his birthday. Life hasn't been the same since he came along. Lately, he's been sleeping longer. This morning I really needed to get going to work, but I couldn't leave w/out seeing the birthday boy first. So while he was sleeping...I just sat on the couch and waited. :)
Here is in his new car seat:

This is what he's up to, to date:

• walking everywhere
• pretty much on all milk - although we're still adding a little formula just to finish it off
• still figuring out the new sippy cups. The one sippy cup he uses for water he's got down, but these new ones are still a mystery.
  
• smells everything!
• scared of the vacuum and ironing board (strange?!)
• sleeps around 11 hours every night and has lately been stretching it even longer
• waves hi/bye and says it somewhat
• LOVES reading books.
  
• likes his balls, trucks and any toy that makes noise
• not the greatest at eating vegetables, but loves fruit and pasta; also not a big fan of meat
• doing much better in the nursery - but occasionally still cries when I leave
• can now sign "please" and is beginning to do it all the time for everything
