12 & 13 months

 13 months ago you entered this world at 6 pound 9 ounces, 21.5" long. your skin were dark, wrinkly and you were tiny. and now a year and a month later, you are at 23 pounds 4 ounce and 30.5" long. 

you have been going to daycare now for a month, and you clearly are loving it. you no longer fuss or cry when daddy drops you off. You smile and walk in yourself. You eat well, sleep your required 2 hours nap ( most of the time) and play happily all day. You behave so well that we think you like it better there than at home with us sometimes.

you love cars. You point to everything that is a car and that is not and say “car”. You love looking at books with real trucks and cars. You love to play with your toy cars, making zoom zoom sounds when you push them.

You love trucks. You would continue to play with them even though the tray flips up and hit you eye. 

You have gotten a bruised eye on 2 occasions because you would not give up.

You love flipping the light switch on and off and seeing what it does to the light.

You love to go up and down the stairs in the house. You would keep doing it if we let you.

You love it when daddy gets the vacuum out. You no longer like to watch from the baby carrier. You want to be part of the action.

You love taking lids off and putting them back on. You love pots and pans. You would go in the kitchen and points to them until we take them down for you.

You love being flipped over. You would get into a pre-flipping position and wait for someone to pick up your legs and flip you. And when we do, you laugh.

You love to climb. Chairs, fridge, cabinets, sofa, cribs, anything that you get you little hands and feet on.

You love circle time. You would walk around inside the circle and clap your hands from time to time, studying people faces when they sing.

You love snacks. You can snack all day.

You no longer care for the cat.

You love to splash water in the bath.

happy 12 and 13 months kiddo.
