And now 12 months is over too!

 So I may be officially 13 months today but with all the birthday activity I am bringing you photos of my last few moments as a 12 month old.  I hope you don't mind I am so late.  Daddy says Mommy is unable to not be late so maybe I am just like her!  

In the last week or two I have really decided to walk.  I took my first steps around my birthday, but really I didn't feel like doing much walking then.  Now  I am getting more into it and I walk about half the time and crawl the other half.  I am a much more speedy crawler, but I am allowed to do more fun things when I am walking...like play at the castle park with all these cool things that they have close to the ground.  

I had my 1 year check after my birthday and I was 23lbs 2oz and 28 or 30 inches long.  I was such a wriggle worm it was very hard to measure me.  In any case I am not so huge anymore but I am a pretty big toddler still.  Mommy is so sad but she can't find how big Bridger was so she doesn't know how we compare.  She thinks that I am about the same size as him though.   

Other than walking I am trying to do some talking.  My favorite syllable is still Bah, Bah but I am making some other sounds too.  I saw wuf, wuf all the time.  We see lots of dogs on our walks, or when I am sitting at the window.   I also can quack and yesterday when we were feeding the ducks I was trying to say duck.  I say MaMa and DaDa sometimes but mostly I just yell for BahBah my brother.  I also saw Bao and point to my bows and then my hair.  However, I don't like if you actually put the bow in my hair...I take it right out.  

Last weekend Mommy was away at a conference and Daddy and Grandma and Bridger and I had some good bonding time.  It was a little rough but everyone survived, and I learned that Daddy is pretty great, even though I give him the cold shoulder a lot when Mommy is around.  It is nice to have Mommy back though.  I was having a pretty good week till Friday, and I didn't feel very good and yesterday Mommy discovered I have an ear infection.  Bummer...I am on medicine now so I feel better but I am still not quite myself.  

As you can see I don't like to be still for photos at all, but Bridger and I have lots and lots of fun.  Come visit us sometime...we will take you lots of fun places in the city (like to the Harbor where they had this super cool all women drum line yesterday).  I know it just looks like we stay in our house all the time from the pictures.

Drool and Kisses!
