13 months

My baby, my little bird, my little eves is 13 months old.

How did this happen?

I guess it has something to do with 13 months going by...

Anyhoo,

She is pretty silly.

She loves onions. Raw, cooked, grilled, red, white- she doesn't discriminate.

Last week she ate a puddle of dijon mustard by dipping her finger in it and licking her finger until the whole puddle of dijon was gone. Wierdo.

She wants to do everything by herself. (except walk, but that's okay....take your time baby) Mealtimes are very messy. And we've made some amateur decisions as far as menu goes. Such as tomato soup. (not the best choice for a baby who is learning how to use a spoon....)

She already loves the word no. Uh-oh. I thought I had more time until this stage..

Yesterday she woke up from her nap and I heard her in the monitor happily saying to herself "no, no, no" Just practicing I guess.

She laughs when everyone else is laughing, even if she has no clue what's going on. It's hilarious because 1) she has a totally fake laugh she reserves for these moments and 2) sometimes it's kind of an adult joke....but she laughs so hard at it

She freaks out when she sees moose and remembers all the places we have seen them. So she has some PTSD when she is in those places. It's a little sad but a little funny.

She still wakes up most nights at about 4:00 or 5:00, but she now stands there and says, so sweetly, "mama? mama?" Which is a very sweet way to wake up :)

I love when she crawls up on my lap at the end of the day with a book and just wants to cuddle and read.

I love all wiggly, giggly 13 months of you kiddo. You make every day so fun for us. And they were pretty fun before which makes you super cool since you made it all so much MORE fun.

Thanks for picking us.
