14 months old

Happy 14 months old Gordy!

Goges is now walking 100% of the time - and boy is he fast!  We even got him some little shoes so that his tootsies don't get burned while he's terrorizing at the playground.  He's not happy to have the shoes by any means, but he'll tolerate them just like he does the rest of his clothes if it means that he gets to do something he likes (play at the playground, go for a bike ride, go to the beach, etc.).

He really likes to "get us" and likes it even more when we make like we are going to "get him".  He'll start to run away, and then will turn his head to the side to make sure that we are chasing him.  

He's taught himself how to blow spit bubbles by holding a bunch of spit around his lips before he opens them.  He thinks it's super hilarious when we do it back at him.

His favorite thing in the world seems to be going for bike rides and will easily fall asleep if we take him on a long one.

His favorite word is "dada" and he uses it all the time - anytime Todd goes in the other room, anytime he wakes up and Todd doesn't come in his room, anytime, he's up on the deck and Todd is down in the yard... pretty much all the time.

If we let him, Gordy would live out in the yard.  He will do almost anything to be outside, naked, where he can play in his pool, the garden, the leaves, the worm bin, the shower, etc.

He knows what snakes, bees, giraffes, fish, hermit crabs, and hippos say and will make their noises or motions on command.  Here's him doing a hippo at Kailua beach:

Having a Gogo is so much fun!
