Happy 13 months

Well that month just whizzed by, didn't it? You went from baby to toddler in an afternoon, and now you are doing the talking-walking-laughing thing like a pro. We have had some ups and downs, what with the sick and the teeth and the sick again, but you are still the cutest ever.

Plus, you're letting me sleep through the night now, so I am more open to appreciating the cute.

You've also gotten so much more interactive, saying, "Up!" when you want me to pick you up. Or, "Nay nay nay!" when you don't want me to put you down. You are very clear about foods you like and dislike, and you let everybody know when you feel like being a clown. This evening, leaving Grandma's house, you and her kissed one another on the cheek over and over and over again. You thought it was the funnest thing. I want to keep that precious memory in my pocket, just to carry it around with me whenever I get sad.

You spend most of your time walking around the house/outside/wherever we are, commenting on anything and everything at varying volumes, so I saw it fitting to post a video of you walking. I have had several friends request such a thing, and I can't blame them. It's so damn cute. Your little butt just wiggling around as you so proudly strut your stuff.

This next month is going to be big one. You're going to have surgery on year ears. Ten days later, we're going to a wedding in Wisconsin. Somewhere in there, you'll meet your Aunt Kara. These are all Big Important Events. Big events for a big man.
