13/14 Months Old

James keeps growing bigger and cuter every day. He had his one year check up when he was 13 months since that's how our schedule worked out, so here's how big he was at that appointment:
Weight: 25 lbs 13 oz
Height: 33.3 inches
He's always been in the 80s-90s for most everything, but this time he went off the chart for height (not too surprising since he seems to be as big as most the 2 year olds we meet). He can now walk and run - didn't take him long to run after he got walking down. As one of John's co-workers put it - he still has a lot more energy than sense - so we have lots of bumps and bruises, but it doesn't seem to bother him much. He is super sweet and smiley. He loves to smile at strangers and then get really shy. He still says mama and dada a lot, but now he also loves to walk around babbling all sorts of sounds in what we assume are full, coherent sentences to him, but Greek to everyone else (it sure sounds cute, though). My favorite thing is that he still loves to give hugs. You sit down anywhere on the floor and he is on top of you giving you a hug or sitting and cuddling in your lap.
Below is just a cute video of when James was just over a year old and liked pushing Tori around on this little toy car. This is before he could even walk by himself. Excuse the crazy colors/lines in the middle of the video - my camera is acting funny lately. They sure have a lot of fun playing with each other. James loves it when Tori chases him and he will follow her anywhere.
