13 Months

Baby is 13 months old today. He is now quite the little parrot. He attempts to repeat most words. He knows the difference between Ollie and Leeza and calls them by name.
Baby starts sign language classes in 2 weeks. At the rate that his speech is developing, he may not need to use signs for very long.
His motor skills, on the other hand, are slower to develop. He really doesn't show much interest in walking. I think he is perfectly happy to crawl or cruise.
Overall, he seems to be a happy baby. He remains interested in people and smiles at everyone!

Baby Chasing Leeza

Life with an (Almost) Toddler

Baby is so busy these days. He gets into everything. We thought our house was "babyproofed", but he seems to find a way to get into those areas you would least expect.
Baby is continuing to amaze us each day. He now snaps his fingers, says "baseball" (no, I'm not kidding) and dives off of the couch head first.

Baby in a Cage

I swear we didn't put him in there. We can't keep him out of the dog cages.

One Year Check-Up

Baby had his 1 year check-up this week. We are proud to say that he quadrupled his birth weight! He now weighs 19 lbs. 8 oz. and is in the 16th percentile. He is in the 71st percentile for height and 79th for head! He is tall and skinny with a big head - kind of like a Bratz doll!

Baby is starting to cut his 4th tooth. He says mama, dada, nana, ball and no. Daddy taught him how to "give 5".

He is really getting cuter by the day!
