Thirteen Months!

Little B is already 13 months old! He is full of life and adventure. He is curious. He is ornery.  His little personality is starting to really shine. :) He adores his big sister. Loves to dance.  He is a snuggle bug, but also a daring climber.  

 He plays on his own quite well... but loves to play with his big sis too.  He loves cars and hammers/spoons or anything with a handle he can carry in his hand and still crawl or walk around with,  and the big red furry guy still. :)

He is really walking all over lately and is getting quite good at it. He still crawls if he falls down, but seems to prefer walking. He looks so little when he walks all over. Its kind of crazy. :)

 He has amazing blue eyes, and handsome long lashes.  Girls are going to swoon someday. :) Someday a LONG time from now. :) This picture below captures his eyes amazingly! Non-edited... fresh from the camera. :)  :) <3

 He loves books and loves to be read to.  He also "reads" and loves to look at books on his own. :) The teacher part of me just adores that! :)  His smile is contagious and his happy baby squeals are like sweet music. :)

At 13 months, he is wearing mostly 12 month clothes.  He wears size 4 diapers but barely.  He has 10 teeth and another one popping through.  Three of them are molars. They've been rough.  He is down to two bottles a day- at nap and bedtime.  We are done with formula after a long escapade with cows milk reactions and soy milk reactions.  Almond is finally the milk of choice. :) We are avoiding dairy as well due to some nasty reactions.  He hasn't slept through the night in AGES... but that's ok... he won't end up in mom and dad's bed forever. :) (darn teeth!)

We are thankful for this sweet little blessing.  Having a little boy isn't near as scary as I thought it might be... we are thoroughly enjoying this precious gift... and his big sister as well. :) God knows what He's doing and I'm thankful I didn't get MY way. :)  God's is so much sweeter! :)
