I'm Thirteen Months Old!!!

October 17, 2009...I turned 13 months old today. We are in Kiawah Island, SC, and today is my cousin Kathryn's wedding. So, I don't have my usual lion pictures. Even better...I got to have my picture taken with a beautiful bride. I am still a pretty happy little boy who loves to do whatever my big brother Jack is doing. I have started walking, and I'm really getting around now. I feel like such a big boy. I have four teeth now. I am trying to talk more and more and am saying "mama, dada, Jack, more, baby, high five ("high pie") and cracker". I'm a picky eater, just like Mommy. If she puts an unknown object on my tray for me to eat, I most likely throw it on the floor. Sometimes, I try it, and then I throw it on the floor. If I've had enough of whatever I'm eating, I throw it on the floor, too. I still prefer pureed baby food (green beans, apple blueberry, sweet potatoes, squash, pears, prunes, and apricots), but I also like to eat crackers, bread, sometimes pork & chicken, oatmeal, smoothies, and black beans. I like to drink water and smoothies, and I really like to go after Jack's cups and drink whatever he's drinking! I am really enjoying reading books with Mommy. I love books with flaps, pictures of babies, and books that make sounds. My current favorites are a Thomas book that plays songs that Auntie Jo Jo gave me for my birthday; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?; Where is Baby's Pumpkin?; Toes, Ears, & Nose; My Puppy Friends; Peek-a-boo Jungle; Colors; and This is the Way We Take a Bath. I love my blankie; seeing Grandpa; being around Jack and trying to do what he's doing; playing golf; taking baths & splashing; being read to; being sung to; going to Rhyme Time; giving high fives; drinking smoothies; going on walks with Daddy; going to the park and swinging; getting into Mommy's purse and pulling everything out of it; exploring/discovering everything around the house; and being with my family. I don't like having my face washed, getting my diaper changed, and getting new teeth. I am a constant source of joy for my mommy, daddy, and Jack...as well as a constant source of entertainment, too.

Here I am with the bride, my cousin, Kathryn!

Daddy & me...

More pictures with Kathryn...

Just me...tired & not feeling great because of my new teeth!
