Look out, World! (No really. I mean it. LOOK OUT!)

Today, THIS happened:

Oh man, was he ever proud! He was so excited to realize he is that much more like the big kids now!

This little boy is so much like Brooklyn in every way (except for looking exactly like Kate, but with blond hair.) Incidentally, Brooklyn was exactly the same age when she first learned to walk (12 1/2 months). He reacts the same way when I try to get him to drink milk (takes a sip and then looks at me like I'm crazy while letting it all flow out of his mouth). His eating habits are the same as hers (which are the same now, at nearly 7 years old!) - which is they would prefer to eat nothing at all, but if they have to eat, it better be something sweet. He can smell chocolate a mile away. His little personality is even similar to Brooklyn's - happy-go-lucky and adventurous. Maybe more so for Nolan than Brooklyn, though, and plus he is really quite strong for a baby, so it's a dangerous combination. He can climb on things and destroy things that might seem to be otherwise baby-proof...

That smile is for real, though - he is just BIG emotions all over the place! Mostly happy, but when he is upset, those emotions are big too! I love this little buddy!!!
