Holden.. Update

My baby is 13 months. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home and excited to be a family of four.
Holden is a complete toddler now, eating pretty much anything, drinking milk and walking... Yes finally walking. Holden took his first steps at 11 months but never more than a few at a time. He still crawls, but is walking more and more each day. Holden loves books, cars, and his toy kitchen. Holden now says mama, dada, thank you, shoes, dog, touch down, yes, no and cookie. Holden also signs, thank you, more, please, mom, and eat.
Holden is super funny and has already learned how to get under brothers skin. He thinks it is so funny to get him upset.... I'm sure I will have many years of dealing with this. I try not to laugh but it's pretty cute.
Holden is very spoiled, temperamental, or basically he just wants it his way. He will let you know exactly how he wants it's..... I laugh now but I know I will have to deal with this and it won't be fun. Holden always acts like such a baby...,, he wants to be held, snuggled, still wants a bottle, and the paci. We went two weeks with out the paci after Holden turned one. We took them away from both kids cold turkey. Owen was fine. Holden started waking several times during the night, so we gave in. He now has the paci for naps and bed time. He knows he has to put it in his crib when he get ups and does fine all day with out but the kid needs it to sleep and I guess I do too. ;)
Holden is growing so fast... Well he is still a pip squeak... 18.7 lbs at his 1 year appointment but he is in the 70% percentile for height. I am enjoying watching him learn and grow and build an amazing friendship with his brother.
