This month's developments have included, walking (I'd say about 30% of the distance he travels these days is accomplished via walking), clapping (I was thrilled beyond words when he just spontaneously did that when he saw Eric and me doing it - all that practice finally paid off), and his two front teeth arriving with no fanfare (I didn't even know he was teething and then BAM! Two new teeth!).
Ike has been pulling books out of bookshelves, CDs out of CD shelves and pots out of the pantry for at least a month. Lately he has even begun trying to put things back, or at the very least to put things somewhere. He likes to take his train tracks out of their bin and then drop them back in.
He thinks the Christmas tree is great. If only he could reach those shiny glass balls that have been placed so high on the tree!
He likes most food that we offer him but still will not take cow's milk. This is a bit of a problem since I'm now weaning him. He is very resistant to being weaned, and it makes me sad. But not sad enough to keep nursing him much longer. His favorite food is probably bananas. He goes ape over them. (Har!)
Ike jabbers and jabbers all day. He still loves watching people, especially kids. He likes to be chased, tickled, and thrown high in the air. His favorite toys are Tobias the sock monkey, his toy radio, his train tracks (which he just holds in his hands and waves in the air), and all round ball-like objects. He also loves to climb the stairs, though he still doesn't know how to come down.
I really couldn't ask for a better baby.
This is Ike enjoying the Christmas decorations.
When it's time to eat, Ike means business. We get such a kick out of watching him open his mouth as wide as possible.

I can't believe he's a year!
That last picture with the banana mouth makes me laugh. What a funny little guy.
I, too, can't believe it has been a year. Ike is so cute.
Happy birthday to Ike! I'm glad he's such a keeper :).
