He is walking everywhere, and getting into everything. We took him to the park this week, and he was exploring and got fairly far away from us (under our close supervision, of course) and never once looked back to make sure we were still there. He even fell once, and a strange girl helped him up, and he just grinned at her. He is so adventurous and independent. This could be trouble! But I'm glad he is confident and secure. We did have to intervene, however, when he started eating the mulch.
He is eating regular people food now for most meals. And he's drinking whole milk, which is WAY easier than making formula. Still no teeth...we're expecting one any day now.
We haven't identified any official first words yet, but he babbles all the time, and he likes to point at pictures in his book. He is especially "chatty" on the way home from daycare. I guess he's telling us all about the fun he had that day.
Here are some of the highlights from his birthday party below. If you want to see more, check out our link on Picassa. (There are also some football pictures there.)
Michael tells us he is ONE, with a crown his daycare teacher made for him.

A few other 12 month highlights:
* Loves to play peek-a-boo or hide-n-seek. He will crawl into his closet and "hide" behind the door and then laugh and laugh when we pull it open.
* He wears 12 month onesies, but can still fit into 6 month pants.
* He loves bananas, green beans, squash, and all unrefined carbs, but is not a fan of avocado.
* He climbs on everything, especially his baby gate. He's can zip up our stairs at home, too.
* He is very curious and loves exploring new places.
* He likes to ride on Mommy and Daddy's shoulders or in his baby bike trailer.
* He loves it when he gets to see people walking their dogs in the front yard.
