Joaquin turned 14 months last week. We took him to the doctor and he is 32 lbs. 14 oz...he is a big boy and I have not yet lost my beautiful, fat little feet! This month, he became particularly fascinated with planes and helicopters in the sky and pointing them out to us. He has done that before, but he became acutely aware of it this month. He is very interested in helping me out with whatever I'm doing...he picks up the little broom or dustpan when I am sweeping, pulls plants out of the ground when I'm weeding, and likes to stir things in the kitchen.
This last one has become a particular favorite...any long, stick like thing can be used to stir and any hole or bowl can be used to stir. He likes to stir everything! He has also finally moved out of his baby bath and started to walk around when we take a shower now. No major spills yet!
This month was also marked by Uncle Nate moving out last week. He moved in with us for one month back when Joaquin was about 3 months old and moved out at 14 months instead...we are that fun! Joaquin and Uncle Nate have a special bond...no one can provide the physical antics like Uncle Nate can. One of their favorite games is to throw Joaquin in the air in full 360s before catching him again. And Uncle Nate has the best toy in the house...a small remote to his ipod dock that fits perfectly in Joaquin's hand. Joaquin will miss that remote (and Uncle Nate too, I guess) and I am so grateful of the time we've all had together to form that bond between them.
