Talking and almost walking

Jack's balance is getting better and better. He can walk pretty well when being held by just one hand. He slides down off of furniture with no problem. His latest thing is pointing up and saying "up" or "out" for outside. He also just started shaking his head from side to side with the cutest look on his face, then smiling. At daycare he will shake his finger back and forth because he has seen it done accompanied by a "no" many times! When he gets upset, he gets very upset these days. He detests having his diaper changed now. He has sounded like he said "purple" and is especially good at words beginning with "b" like bear. He turns one tomorrow!!!
