13 Months!

I am 13 months old!

• I wear size 12-18mo clothes and a size 4 diaper.
• I wear a size 3 shoe.

• I love to walk holding on to someone's hands. Today I FINALLY started walking while only holding onto one hand..I'm getting braver! Mommy thinks I'll walk just like I crawled...one day I'll just take off!
• I love to climb on things...especially anything that looks like stairs. I also do a really good job safely getting down the stairs or off the couch.
• This month we learned I'm allergic to Augmentin (I get a pretty bad rash).

• I'm doing a good job drinking my milk. I don't chug it like Emmie did but I seem to be enjoying it more and more.
• I'm a pretty good eater and I one of my favorite things is the grilled chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A.
• I got to try ice cream this month for the first time...it was soooo good...I couldn't eat it fast enough.
• This month we went to NC to visit my family up there and I had so much fun. They also had a birthday celebration for me which meant cupcakes (and ice cream!)! I do love me some cupcake.

• This month I had my 1 yrs old pictures taken by Kennerly. Mommy and I can't wait to see how they turned out!

• This month I've added a few words to my vocabulary and I've definitely started experiencing some communication frustration. I definitely know what I want and sometimes I just can't find the word for it.
• This month I went to Greenville and we got to go play at Gran and Grandaddy's pool. I thought it was ok. I wasn't feeling very good so I was a bit grumpy.
• This month I still had a bit of an ear infection but it had improved after the first round of antibiotics so that's good. I should finally get my one year old shots next week as long as I stay healthy.
• We went to Edventure this month and it was the first time that I was big enough to enjoy everything. I had so much fun pushing the shopping cart!

• This month I've enjoyed poking people in the eye. I think eyes are quite fascinating.
• I love playing with Emmie. One of our favorite things to do is to play with the dollhouse and we spend a lot of time having picnics. We also like to play a game where we take turns squealing. Mommy and Daddy (esp Daddy) don't find it nearly as entertaining as we do!

• After I finish breakfast and lunch and after I get out of the bath I make the toothbrush noise and move my hand like I'm brushing my teeth. I know the routine!
• I watched my first Olympic Games this month.

(by the way, I really love my rocking chair and I'm really good at getting in and out of it!)

• I LOVE going to the waterpark at Fort Jackson. This month I got to ride on the lazy river and it was lots of fun. I completely chilled out.

• I make the funniest faces. Everyone says I look like an E Trade baby.

• I love to take care of my baby dolls.

• I'm liking books more and more although I still have a pretty short attention span...unless you're reading Brown Bear!
• I still love going to My Gym...they have lots of crawl and climb on!

• I have these fabulous little curls in the back of my head. Mommy loves them!

Emmie at 13 months.

I see so much of Ellie in Emmie's face in this picture.

At different stages in their lives I feel like they look more or less alike. I think at 13 months they look a lot alike...except Emmie is clearly bigger...you can't tell as much in these pictures but there are some on the 13month post where she looks huge!
