and making mommy have heart attacks...
A few months ago, we saw a little boy at a restaurant, and his mom said he was 13m old, and mentioned that in the past month, almost like overnight, he began comprehending and understanding SOOO MUCHHH MORE!!! and we just have seen the same thing!!
A few NewsFlashes that come faster than we expect...(Im sure all you mommies can agree!)
*He BITES

- If you are telling him 'NO!' or taking him away from something, he reaches for and bites your hand (Well moreso to mommy than anyone else ![]()

) We'll call it a 'lovebite' ![]()
*HE CLIMBS CLIMBS CLIMBS anything and everything. TWICE he fell from our fireplace mantle, which is about 8inches off the ground. I try to walk over to him calmly, so as not to startle him, but both times he 'walked' off and didnt get hurt either time, thank God. Fell right onto the berber rug and got a red bruise that wore off in a few hours.![]()
Is all this normal for this age? Is it a BOY thing? HELPPP!
OK good ones.
He KISSES DADDY yesterday! He's been 'kissing' (A-La fishie kiss) for the past month or so, but never reached or leaned into your cheek. But yesterday, out of the blue, he mimicked what John did. John kissed him on the cheek (part of his half hour smothering when he gets home from work![]()
) and goes 'MWAH', then all of a sudden John Anthony did it right back, with the sound effect and all !! IT WAS SOO CUTE !!!
He's growing and understanding sooo much!
In the past month or two:
*He brings a book to us, and sits in our laps. LOVEEES LOVES LOVES LOVES books. ANY BOOK will soothe him, 'take him away' and keep him occuppied. If I say a line or 2 from a book, he goes and gets it... its the cutest thing... Last week, John was reading him a book, and asks him 'is this little boy taking off his sock???' and all of a sudden, JA took his sock off! John was like

It just blows your mind when you dont expect it and you see these little milestones!
He says so many words, in Italian and English and he understands some of both languages.
Its too much for a mommy to handle!!
From a little babbling baby, I feel like I all of a sudden have conversations with him!
