Ephram at 12 months

Baby boy is now a toddler! It has been such a whirlwind. Ephram is the sweetest most snugly little boy. He is still such a happy little guy except when he is hungry, tired or wants to be held. Evenings are still rough when I am trying to make dinner and have the two boys home by myself. Wills entertains himself really well, but Ephram just wants to be loved on. I don't really see this getting better anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong!

Sleep is still awesome with Ephram. I am so thankful for this. He naps for an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If you get him off schedule, he is really flexible and will sleep whenever he gets the chance (the car, the stroller, your arms, etc). If Wills falls asleep in the car for 5 minutes, you will not get him to take a nap. If Ephram falls asleep in the car, he will wake up, but he will go back to sleep without any problem once he is in his bed. It is so nice.

Ephram has his one year well check with his pediatrician on November 7th. I will update all his stats after that appointment. I said last month that I thought Ephram would be walking sooner than Wills and I was right. He officially took his first steps this month. He is very wobbly and takes no more than 5 steps at a time, but definitely a start.

He is still a champ at eating and not at all picky. He has two top teeth and two bottom teeth and he is using them to bite food like a big kid. He grabbed a sandwich off my plate while I was holding him and took a bite out of it before I knew what was happening. He was quite proud of himself.
