13.5 mths, 7th tooth, walking, crawls on knees

I run through my finger on Jasper's gum and found out he had just cut the 7th tooth, it was a bottom right canine. He eats more than a normal adult would eat(rice, cheese, spinach, broccoli, chicken, toasts, egg, banana...), milk intake has been reduced to ½-1 cup three times a day only, sometimes less. I guess he has just got used to the idea of walking that he walks very often now. The highest count has been 34 steps and I won't bother counting anymore as it is just a matter of time before he can walk with confidence. He has also started to crawl upright on his knees only with both hands off the floor. He can follow simple verbal instructions such as "clap", "wave", "open mouth" etc. Just when i thought maybe he had grown up a little bit and then to my disappointment I found out that a chunk of one of the baby books was bitten off. So maybe he is not quite ready to spend time alone with books.
