Lucy, what have you been up to?

Since Lucy has turned a year old, I am not going to be doing a post every month but I didn't want to forget what she was doing at this age because she is doing new things every day!

Lucy, at 13 1/2 months, what have you been doing lately?

• you can say.....momma, dada, bye bye, lala (lolli), sis-sis, pop, eeeee! (this stands cheese, eat and teeth when you want to brush your teeth), hey, hot, ball, up, mmmm (meaning food is good), night night, and dis ("this").
• are walking exclusively
• can sign "finished" (you shake your hands in the air and then climb out of seat) when done eating

This is you saying "cheeeeese" when I take your picture.

       

• LOVE being outside and at the pool (it's a good thing we spend alot of time there!)
• take 2 naps a day (usually 9 and 2) and several times have said "night night" and have gone and stood by your bed...you love to go to bed when tired.
• still eat some baby food but are starting to wean yourself and have a preference

• you do eat cookies, crackers, stick pretzels, bananas, blueberries, grilled cheese, green beans, potatoes, licks of popsicles or ice cream (you love it but make hilarious faces when eating them), and anything off my plate (but don't want it on yours)
• you have learned how to drink from a straw
• love milk but still want it warm and you won't drink anything else (no juice, sweet tea etc) unless it is in mommy's cup haha!

• you have a  fun little personality and quite the flirt!
• you LOVE to go upstairs and will say, "UP!", you can go upstairs on your own and quickly (but only allowed to if mommy is right behind you) but don't know how to get down yet so we have to put up gate so you don't fall down
• you are a climber and have learned how to go to sissy's top bunk!
• you are addicted to brushing your teeth and licking on the toothpaste!  SEE?

• you love carrying around your baby doll and giving "luv luv" and kisses
• you have gotten much better about riding in the car and will dance to the music
• you pretend to help me blow up floaties at the pool

• you still love your paci but mommy would love to get rid of that thing!
• you weigh about 20 lbs.
• you have 8 teeth but I think you are working on another one
• you love to play with brother and sister...you love to play chase and will laugh uncontrollably!
• you have had a bunch of haircuts and your hair is so long and thick I have to dry it or it does CRAZY things.  Yes, I have to "fix" my 13 month old's hair...it is starting early!

• You love to get into mommy's makeup...you are a girly girl for sure!!!!
• You love sunglasses and grin when you put them on.

You are more fun now than ever.  Can't you just stay this size?  I am loving it!
