Jack took his first steps on September 18, his 13-month birthday. He still thinks it's faster to crawl, but one of these days he will figure it out, and off he will go! I can't wait! I keep trying to encourage him to walk independently, and he does great when I hold his hand. I am trying to walk him to the car instead of carrying him, so hopefully one day he will get the message.
I have been working with Jack on brushing his teeth lately. I will admit, I have had trouble remembering in the past because he does only have 2 teeth, but I know good habits start early, so now when I brush mine in the morning, I brush his. He LOVES to hold the brush after I finish and he mimics me, moving it up and down in his mouth. The toothpaste is berry flavored, so I know he thinks it tastes good. It is pretty much the cutest thing ever.
We gave Jack his first haircut today. His little hairs were getting so long and his head got so sweaty, that we finally had enough, and gave him the cutest little mohawk ever! He is so handsome now.
