Hailey Jo {13 months}

July 26, 2012

This is you at 13 months:

You don't sit still at all anymore. I was debating on getting the 13+ month stickers and to continue with the monthly pictures, but decided not to because of this reason. Don't get me wrong, we have PLENTY of pictures of you through-out each month, but I just don't feel the need to do the monthly pictures.

This is you at 13 months:

You are eating anything and everything and feeding yourself regularly.

You are exploring with eating utensils.

We started transitioning you to cow's milk (2%) now that you are 1 years old. We had one night long constipation episode. That was rough not only on you, but Mommy and Daddy, too.

You just started drinking juice this month. You didn't really care for it before now and I really didn't push it either since it's not the healthiest either. But with you being on cow's milk now, it helps a lot with regulation. If you know what I mean

You are still wearing size three diapers.

You are saying and repeating several words and adding new words all the time. We can tell you are copying things that we say.

You still love anything ice cream. This is Daddy sharing a Snickers Ice Cream bar with you.

Your sleep schedule is pretty much the same.You always wake up happy and in a good mood.

You love to swim and be in the pool.

You are so independent and don't even want to hold onto the wall to help you balance.

Always a happy girl with a big smile on your face.

You did not like the fireworks that Papa set off for 4th of July.

You always want to go outside.

You love your mower at Grandma and Papa Stager's.

You LOVE to swing.

You love to play and explore the park

You love to go down the slide, too!

You went down your first giant slide with Mama at one of the local fairs.

 

I thought you might be scared, but you were not.

Your giggles are just the best.

You love to face-time Daddy while he is at work.

You love to visit him at work, too!

You love shopping and sitting in the cart and looking at everything and everyone.

You love when Uncle Ross plays his guitar. You think you can play it, too.

You still love music and start moving whenever you hear it.

You love to take walks in your stroller.

You love to help Gramma Karla vacuum. Which is so funny, because when you were younger you were so scared of it.

You are getting into everything. Papa put up a board to block the steps.

You are so funny and animated.

You are always so curious. "What is underneath this?" 

You are going after the dogs more and more now that you can walk and run. They usually scatter away from you. This is Lacy, Great Grandma Sharon's dog. She was barking at you and you were barking back at her.

You put your finger up when we ask you how old you are.

You still take 2 short naps a day.

You are still getting teeth in. But I never know when exactly because you don't let it bother you.

You are now wearing all 12 month clothes (a few smaller onesies depending on brand) and a few 18 month things.

You met Big Time Rush again for the 2nd time in your life. They remembered you and they love you!

You are precious to us and we love watching you grow up.

We love you so much, Hailey!
