13 Months

Wow! Weren't we JUST having Branner's birthday party?! Here we are a month later, and he is walk/running everywhere and loving having Barry and I chase him! He is such an independent little guy! He DOES NOT hold hands. He wants to do EVERYTHING himself! He won't let me feed him yogurt (which he loves) or anything for that matter. So, we are working on teaching him/letting him learn how to use a spoon. We definitely have a big boy on our hands!

Likes: Walking, walking, walking, running, running, running, talking, talking, talking (Mama, Dada, Baba (Bailey), cat, uhuhuhuh, Mama/Dada! when he wants something), I also hear him practicing lots of new "words" in his crib, mimicking noises, driving his Cozy Coupe, "riding" his bike, going to the park (yay for the nice weather we've had lately), swinging, going on walks on the greenway, playing at the tennis courts, throwing tennis balls, playing in the yard, reading books, giving the best hugs ever, waving, clapping, singing, playing instruments, "fixing" things with his tools, his Little Ones toys, puzzles, blocks, other children, "talking" to people when we're out, baths and his bath toys.

Dislikes: Teething (he currently has four teeth, and is cutting more as we speak), not being able to play with sockets, not getting his way.

Foods: Whole milk, a wide variety of fruits and veggies, bread, cereal bars, waffles, pancakes, pierogies, turkey dogs, quesadillas, chicken, fish sticks, cheeseburgers (yes, I let him have a McDonald's cheeseburger--I wanted to see if he would eat it), turkey, ham, cheese, the list goes on and on. Our "good eater" is finally back!

Clothes: 12 months and 12-18 months.

I know I say this every month, but it just keeps getting better and we are having more fun than ever with our funny, sweet, happy, independent little man! We love you, Branner!!!
