13 Months Old!

Another milestone reached!  It is bittersweet not to being taking the monthly photos with Finley's sign and calendar blanket!

Weight: 19 lbs 8 oz

Teeth: Two bottom teeth, four top teeth!

I love to: 

• Go outside!  I like to sneak through the doggy door and then sneak through the second doggy door on the deck.  I am very unhappy when I can not go outside (lots of screaming!)
• Look at myself in the mirror!
• Watch the vacuum cleaner and follow it around the house. 
• Bounce up and down on the twin mattress in my room with Dada.  
• Go into the pantry and pull everything out onto the floor. 

I can: 

• Walk behind my push along toys! 
• Crawl extremely fast when someone tells me "no"! haha
• Dance (kick my legs, shake my head back and forth, and throw my hands up)
• Brush my hair with a brush
• I can find my red ball, my baby, my brush and my bunny when Mama asks me to go get these items.  

My favorites:

• Music! Put Pandora on so I can dance (shake head back and forth, kick legs, and bounce). 
• Books! Please read my favorites over and over and over again!  Like seriously, 10 times a day is NOT enough!  
• Feeding the doggies my snacks like cheerios!
• Being outside on walks, playing with my water table, crawling through the doggy doors and playing on the deck 
• Still love bath time!

I can say:

• Hi
• Mama
• Dada
• Diddy- for doggy 
• Try to say "balloon" and "blue"
• A loud yell that means "no" or frustration.  
• Huh Huh Huh means "yes"
