13 months

This past month has been a big one.  You took your first steps and began walking on your own.  Once you started, it took you about 1 1/2 weeks to really get the hang of it.  You still prefer to crawl if you want to get somewhere quick.  You are a speedy little sea turtle when you crawl.  It's funny to listen to you coming down the hall.  It's like a stampede.

You are breaking my heart everytime you cry now.  Why is thatyou ask?  Well, now when you cry in the middle of the night or wake up from your nap or you are just plain sad, you yell for your mama by name.  You start crying and then you yell mama mama mamaaaaaaaaaaaa.  It's so sad but cute. 

You've started giving kisses on command to whomever wants them.  You usually open tongue kiss but I guess we will work on that once you get a little older.

For some reason, all of a sudden, you are refusing to eat most solid food.  The only thing that you seem to like is fruit or cookies.  Shocker!  Both are sweet and sugary.  Don't know what's up with that.

Your sleeping habits kinda suck right now.  You wake us up at least once, sometimes 2-3x a night.  Maybe you are teething, maybe you hate us. Just kidding.  You used to sleep for 12 hours straight for a while, now we are lucky if you sleep 5 straight.  Please figure this out and get back to us.  You are giving me more wrinkles than I would like to have at 35.

You are turning into such a mama's boy.  I love it but it makes me nervous too.  I just want to make sure I'm not the only one that can soothe you.  You are so cuddly lately too.  So cute.

You can almost say Sadie's name.  You can make the SSSSS sound and then something like ad  ie comes out afterward. 

You have started wearing shoes but you don't like them.  You can't really walkin them yet but we are getting there.
