13 months.

 

oh how she'll hate this photo in her baby book when she gets older.  but that's what happens when you don't cooperate with the mama and instead throw a crazy tantrum.  silly girl.

totally late putting up this monthly review.  but better late than never.

at 13 months, L :

• weighs approximately 27 pounds.
• is outgrowing her 18-24 month clothes.
• current nicknames : ladybug.  even her big sister refers to her by that name.
• favorite foods : pasta, black beans, avocado.
• is starting to point out body parts : hair, ears, teeth.
• is still using crawling as her mode of transportation.  she'll surf around furniture and walls and holds onto my legs to follow me around.  makes cooking dinner a bit more difficult than usual.
• has a  much bigger vocabulary than her sister did and rarely signs because of it.  she usually says "more" when she wants food instead of saying she's hungry.
• absolutely loves swimming lessons.  she was slower to warm up to the idea than C was but these days she truly enjoys it.
• thinks that sitting through her sister's soccer practices and games is torture.
• is so easy going except when it comes to church.  i can't remember the last time i was able to sit through a service without taking her out.  the past few weeks i've sat out with her more than in.  definitely a change as we never had to do this with C.
• is still in love with her elephant lovey that she got last year for easter.  we now have three of them so that we're never without.
• only uses her binks at nap and bedtime.  this was an easy transition and hope it goes just as well when we take it from her completely.
