I remember all these milestones with my daughter. Actually I always consulted my book which listed same things you posted to see if she was on track.
Aiden is lucky to have a cool Ninong like you. Happy birthday to him.
Thanks Leah :) It's so amazing to watch as they pick up new skills on their own isn't it? and it happens so fast we should enjoy it while it last....
Hello Angelo!Its always a pleasure to see you in my blog :)
You`ve said you`re a hermit?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Basic Tarot Meaning
Represented by Virgo, the Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. This is not a time for socializing; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. Nor is it a time for action, discussion or decisions. It is a time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent during this time of withdrawal. But such times lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
In regards to people, the Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist, someone the Querent usually sees alone, someone the rest of the Querent's friends and family may not know about. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing. They will help the Querent find what it is they are seeking.

I think it suits you so well,from the beginning up to the end :)
" the Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist, ..."
I agree :)
happy friday,Angelo! ^_^
Gosh～you two are so handsome that it hard to say who I like best. :P
Well, you lips are really cute.
...murmured by a crazy cat
Wow thanks for that Ghee!!! I don't really believe in stuff like that usually, but at this point in my life, it fits so well.... eeeerie....
Hey Cat! Aiden and I thank you kindly :)
Boy... at 15 months this little one already has me beat in all areas ;)
Hey Tigersan, he's actually only 12 months, but he can do a lot of the 15 month old milestones already.... but he definitely doesn't have you beat at popsicle eating!
