13 Month Update

• He learned how to sip through a straw 2 weeks ago.
• Still not walking, but has turned into a mountain goat--he likes to climb the couch and me while sitting down.
• In the mornings when I get him out of his crib, he usually hands me his empty bottle. This morning, I went into his room and he handed me just the ring from his bottle. He has learned how to unscrew it. The nipple and the bag were on the floor.
