14 Months, Today!

Out little boy is 14 months old today. He seems so big to me sometimes, and sometimes still so small. His little curls are finally growing back (after having a shaved head when we arrived in Ethiopia), and they make him look like a big boy. Melkamu is such a delight! We love his smile and his giggle. All the goofy things he does, keep us laughing and laughing long after he goes to bed. He is so ready to walk, but not doing it on his own yet. He is walking with help from anything and everything...a grown up hand, the furniture, my exercise ball, his stroller. And he is crawling faster then ever, and is endlessly curious about everything.

A few pictures from this 14th month:
