Mr. Independence

This little boy likes to be in charge. He's been trying to hold his own bottle for months now, but last night he finally succeeded at feeding himself. He is feisty in so many ways. If he can get a grip on your hair, he will give it quite a tug. He has developed a shriek that is clearly not about being hungry or tired. He breaks it out any time he is feeling bored or annoyed. And he has a wicked twinkle in his little eyes, like he is planning something really big. Probably a diaper present for mom. I love it all.

This evening Robb put him to sleep in the hammock and after an hour or so I heard some rustling over there. At first all I could see was a little hand holding up a bottle. Like he was asking for a refill.
