13 Months


I've missed you guys!  Can you believe it's already been a whole month since my last picture?  It's been a wild and crazy month with lots and lots of changes.  I'm sure you've all read Mommy's blog already about the move, so you know we've been busy.  I love my new room and have been sleeping so well up there.  I think it helps that Mommy can't hear me in the middle of the night.

You can see my two cute teeth in this picture, which is why Mommy choose this slightly blurry one over another picture.  I have a few words now too.  I say "hi" to almost everyone.  It was my very first real word and I definitely know what it means.  I'm also saying Mom now too.  What else?  Hum... I learned how to dance this past weekend.  It's more of a shoulder shake than anything but whenever someone starts signing I start moving along along and laughing.  And, Mom has totally realized that I understand more than I let on.  She can tell me to go sit down on my couch and I'll do it.  I understand when people tell me no too, though I don't always listen. Everyone says I'm wild and dangerous but I'm actually more cautious than people give me credit for.  I'm careful when I get down off of things (after being told "no, get down") and I'm very careful going over big bumps in the floor like transitions or cracks on the driveway.  I am also eating all real food now - baby food is for babies!  I'll still eat a squeezy every now and again, but I'd prefer to eat what everyone else is eating.  I eat more than my big sister most days....she better hurry up and get eating otherwise I'm going to catch up to her!

This month's fabric came from Auntie Erin.  She got it because she's always wearing her cowboy boots with shorts (Daddy says it makes her feet stinky).  I can't wait until I get bigger and can get my very own pair of cowboy boots.  Now that we live out in the country, maybe I'll start taking horse riding lessons (when I get bigger).

See ya in a month!
