Sweetest Mr. Colin Man...
At thirteen months old you are...
 |
| 13 month "birthday" at the beach! |
Weighing in at 22 pounds and are 30+ inches long and boy are you growing. You eat like a champ and are ALWAYS hungry. I honestly think you get taller by the day.
You are wearing twelve to eighteen month onesies and twelve or eighteen month bottoms (mostly eighteen). You are a string bean so the eighteen month bottoms are a bit big in the waste but the perfect length. You are still wearing size 4 diapers.
Health: You had a rough start to the month with a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease. It wiped you out for a week straight, which was so hard to see. We got a note from school that it was going around with the toddler and infant classes and sure enough- you caught it. You were battling a fever, the sniffles and an itchy rash. With that said, the rest of the month was great! You were back to your happy and healthy little self. The only other bump in the road came when a "friend" from school decided to bite you- not once, but twice! We quickly spoke with the teachers and got that issue resolved. You took it like a champ with some TLC but Mama was less than pleased.
Eating: You eat like a champ. You have finally gotten he hang of the sippy cup and take a cup with every meal of either water, milk or once in a while juice (all organic milk and juice). You eat all types of veggies and you LOVE fruit (especially blueberries and banana). You also eat some lean protein like chicken or eggs. I will say that you take after Daddy and do NOT like sweets. You hated your birthday cake(s), showed no interest in a cookie and turned away from ice cream. I wish I didn't like those things! ;)

My favorite love this month: you love to dance! You have learned to groove with the best of them. We say "show us your dance moves!" and you go to town. It's quite entertaining.
Sleeping: Through the night, all night! You go to bed between 6:30 and 7:30 and wake up around 5:45 or 6 most days. Once in a while we'll get luck and you'll sleep until 7 but its rare. Daddy and I are adjusting to the earlier mornings.
This month's milestones:
Wave "bye bye"- 6/6
Show us "dance moves"- 6/7. This is precious. We say "show us your dance moves" when your musical drum plays steel drum music and you do the sprinkler to a T.
Took 4-5 steps between Mommy and Daddy- 6/10
Say "bye bye" 6/13
Full blown walking- 6/28
Playing in the sand- 6/29

You are such a fun little guy. You are so interactive now and have the best little personality. You laugh, make "jokes" with your gestures (so big oh wait peak a boo oh wait bye bye), dance, babble and play. It's been so fun to watch you truly transition from an infant to a toddler this month. You also certainly know how to get what you want and have picked up the temper tantrum skill a bit early (you did not get this from me). Every day you learn something new and we enjoy watching each and every little milestone. We love you so much little man! Can't wait to see what the next month has in store for you sweet boy. We love you to the moon and back.
