Counting Our Blessings: 13 months

You are signing "more," "milk" and "all done."

Someone had a rough nap...

You play peek-a-boo with your hands over your face, clap, wave and just starting raising your arms above your head when we say touchdown.

New favorite place to play...you climb in all by yourself! In this pic you had rocked it back...

Your first word was "da da!" Yes, you started out just saying the syllables...not knowing what it meant or who it was. Now, you know exactly who your "Dada" is! You say it when you see him and when I say it during the day you quickly look at the front door waiting for him to come through the door. (This kinda makes me feel sad since he doesn't come so I don't do it very often.) You also say "bye-bye." The other day you were in your high chair and we were eating breakfast as your Daddy was leaving for work. Before anyone even told you what was going on you started waving and saying, "Bye-bye Dada." Sweet Boy!! I think you actually have mouthed-whispered Mama. :)

Good Morning! Look at that big toe!

You are still such an easy-going, laid-back baby! You are content playing by yourself, reading books with us or in a crowded room.

Again in the play place...with shaggy hair...

You climb and crawl up and into whatever you can. You can't climb high/well enough (like out of the crib or onto high furniture) to get yourself in dangerous situations...yet.

After the 1st sort of haircut...loving on the lion from Uncle Dan

You love when someone gets on their hands and knees to crawl with you. Often, I will get down and start crawling toward you and you will laugh and crawl super fast in my direction. Then, you tackle me and we just laugh. You will also race...and it's really funny and fun. :)

Sweet boy!

You know exactly what to do with a phone and on the vary rare occasion that I have unintentionally left my phone where you can reach it and you get your hands on it, you smile with such great pleasure and put it right to your ear.

Still loves strolling

When you want to...you give great squeezes and sweet sugar. Only sometimes are your hugs and kisses followed by a little bite on the shoulder or cheek. :/
