13 great things about being 13 months old!

13. He eats pretty much everything: fruits, vegetables, beans, eggs, yogurt, rocks, dirt and mulch.  We rarely find something that he won’t eat, especially if we are eating it too. 

 

12) He loves to “help.”

11) He has mastered the steps within only a few weeks of being introduced. He can go up and down a whole flight of stairs, but often reaches out to us since it’s much easier than trying on his own.

10)In the past few days he has learned to consistently stand unsupported.

9)He still prefers to crawl.

8) He hates the car seat, and would like to stand if we would let him.  We have to wrestle him into the seat.  Once the car is going he is usually fine.

7)He has a hard time with the word ‘NO.’  He thinks it’s funny to mimic us and shake his head no.  He tries to test us to see if we really mean no.  I can see him asking “can I touch it if I only use one finger?  Can I touch your computer on the back, instead of the front?”  Oh, we are going to have our hands full with this little one. 

6)He loves attention and has this cute parade wave that he uses all the time.  While at the dinner table, while shopping at the grocery store, while playing with his toys. 

5)Loves music.  He even head bangs to rock songs.

4)He pushes toys, bins and chairs all around the house, but won’t use a walker.

3)When he sees that we have food, he has the cutest face as he signs ‘more’ hoping that we will share.

2)He has the best dance moves!

1)He still has a great smile!

I know that  monthly updates about their kid can be a little dry, but now that it’s my kid I want to remember every detail.  Hopefully I didn’t bore you too much!
