13 Months

I am 13 months old! YAY! I'm excited, but not feeling too great these days! The last couple weeks I have been teething. I think I still am, however over these last couple weeks I broke through one of those huge teeth in the back - molars? I wasn't too cranky - but I definately wasn't myself.

I'm down to just one bottle every day now. I drink all of my other milk in a sippy cup. This is exciting - I always liked stealing Grant's cups. I still do, but now I get my own as well! I still get excited when I see my bottle though too. Sometimes I drink 8oz of milk before bed and sometimes only 3 or 4 - BUT - Mommy says this bottle will disappear soon. :(

I continue sleeping with 2 (at least) nuks. One in my mouth and one in my hand. Why, you might ask? Well - these days kids can't have ANYTHING in their beds with them forever. No blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc. So...when Mommy and Daddy decided one night to put 2 nuks in my bed so they didn't have to get up and find it for me every couple of hours...I became quite attached to this second nuk. (This is Mommy's theory!) Anyway - now I am a bit older so I go to sleep with 2 nuks, my blanket and a bear lovie I got from Grant for a baby present - most important though - 2 nuks! Now sometimes I cry because I can't find either one of them in the middle of the night. Where are they? Lost in my blanket!



What else am I up to?
- my hair is long enough to be getting in my eyes. Mommy tries to use barretts or put a pony on top of my head. Barretts don't usually last too long before I pull them out.
- favorite foods - cheese, grapes, mac n cheese, mandarin oranges
- I have started talking - I say "ba-bye", "bye-o-bye" (rock-o-bye), "ball", "Mommy" (we think), "baby" (which have all been picked up in this last week)
- I am getting really good at walking. It's not my favorite way to travel yet, however I try to do it much more often now - quite often taking off on my own after pulling up on something. I can make it halfway across a room, however usually decide a few steps is enough, get down and crawl to where I really want to be
- I have 7 teeth. I just broke my first molar through last week, have 4 front top teeth and 2 bottom front teeth
- Wearing a few 9-12 mos clothes, however out of most things that were 6-12 mo sizes. Now I'm on to 12-18 mos. Crazy! It's fun getting into new clothes though!
- Size 3 diapers


Well - I best be off. I haven't been feeling well today. Last night I had a fever before bed of 100.6 and we coughed it up to new teeth. But I didn't sleep very well and this morning when we checked I was up to 102.2. We saw the dr this afternoon b/c Mommy thought it was an ear infection. Thankfully - it's not an ear infection, but the only answer we really got is "it's just a virus". Hopefully it will just clear up on it's own - I don't like feeling rotten. Sleep well all!
