13 Months

Michael turned 13 months yesterday. I have been trying for several days to get a video of him walking with his push toy. Everytime I got the camera out he stopped and wanted to come play with it. I finally got a video today. He has his pacifier in his mouth because he's been gnawing on it constantly since he chipped it tooth. I guess it helps them feel better. Whatever works because I am surprised he hasn't complained more.

The second picture is from lunch today. We went to lunch with Rachel and Macie. I only took 1 picture and it was so dark it didn't come out so great. They were so happy to see each other. Michael talked up a storm to her. They were cute to watch together.

Michael is growing like a weed. I need to measure him but I think he's grown at least 1/2 an inch in the last month. His 12 month clothes are getting to short, but he doesn't fill out his 18 month clothes so they are baggy. He's kind of in the middle.

He is saying "hi" and "bye" now. He is starting to eat with a spoon but it's still quite messy. He walks pretty fast if you hold his hands. I am thinking in the next month he'll be trying it on his own. He loves to talk on the phone. He has 2 cell phones and he is always playing with those. If I am on the phone he gets mad because he wants to be talking to the person instead. So I have to give him either my cell or the house phone to satisfy him. It's so silly.

We are going to a picnic on Saturday. Hopefully I'll have more pictures to post then.
