13 Months Old

Your big accomplishment this month has changed everything forever! I forgot what it was like when I could leave you in a room alone for 5 seconds or shower alone!

(Daddy's favorite picture from this month.)

At 13 months you are:

• Weigh 22.9lbs
• You are wearing 12 month clothes
• YOU ARE WALKING EVERYWHERE!
• You took your 1st trip to the ER for stitches. Everyone was surprised how calm I was and your daddy is jealous that you got stitches and he never did!
• You jibber-jab all the time and say momma, dadda, pop, bye-bye, no-no while pointing your finger, roar like a lion, and say cluck-cluck like a chicken. Aunt Emmy and Gigi are dying for you to say their names and we practice, but so far Pop is the only lucky one!
• You love Barney and stand by the TV moving back and forth until its over
• We are still working on the biting thing
• You refuse to drink milk from a cup. You will only take it in a bottle and we are down to 1 bottle a day.
• We started brushing your teeth 2 times a day. It makes us laugh every time
• When I get you up in the mornings you start yelling for daddy and as soon as he comes home at night you yell for him again.
• You actually got to wear blue jeans, overalls, and an outfit mommy made you this month. That is a big deal since mommy does not like separates!
  

I am reminded each day how lucky and blessed I am to be home with you and watch you grow.
Love you more than you will ever know!
