13 MONTHS

Lou's hit 13 months in November.  She is definitely losing her baby look and is starting to look like a big girl.  She is wearing 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers.  She is wearing size 3 or 4 shoes...it is honestly hard to keep shoes on her.  Her biggest milestone this month was learning to walk.  She had been close to walking for weeks but typically took just one or two steps before reverting to crawling.  Once she gained a little confidence there was no stopping her.  These three videos were all taken within a week of each other. 


She is also talking quite a bit more.  We have this little routine where I say aye yea yeah and then she repeats.  She also says "hello," "hi," "uh oh" and of course "Mom."

She is very busy and loves to play with toys...especially if the toys make noise.  She also loves when she is able to get into the drawer where the kids keep their toothbrushes.   She often walks around the house with something in her hands and abandons it when she finds something a little more interesting.

We pulled out the matching green Christmas dresses this month..these girls are the cutest.


 

We also tried a little pig tail...whale sprout this month.


 

I did a little photo shoot of Lou wearing the dress I wore when I was one...in the same chair that I once sat in.  I had some pretty awesome photo assistants and we got this shot after a few pictures.


 
Just for reference here I am in the dress and chair... back in the 80s.


 


 Lou loves books.  Her teachers sent this photo of her hanging out on the "couch" at school reading books.  

 

This month also had its down side.  Lou wasn't feeling great and I spent a couple days home from work snuggling her.  She was so tired and didn't have much of an appetite.  We took her in to the pediatrician and found out she had her first ear infection.  She also got a stomach bug  a couple of weeks later and had a rough couple of days while her stomach was unsettled.





 
It was hard to see her not feeling her best...but I sure enjoyed all the extra snuggles.
 
 
Lou loves this little spot in the bathroom.  She backs herself up to sit on the kids stool.  I also want to remember the way she backs her self up to sit on my lap when I am on the floor.
 
 
Lou loved being out of the stroller on our trip to the Clark Planetarium.  She especially loved the tornado simulator.
 
 
 
It was so much fun to celebrate Halloween with our little Toadette.  I am so happy with how her costume turned out. 

She visited many of the classrooms at the high school where she attends daycare.

 
Here she is lined up for the parade with her other classmates.
