Dylan, you continue to be the highlight of my life. I've never been happier than I am now.
I get to see you first thing every morning with a big smile on your face. After you drink a bottle, you are quick to go exploring. You wander through the apartment, find your favorite toys, read some books, and of course give mommy kisses and quick cuddles.
WEIGHT: 25.7 LBS.
HEIGHT: 31 INCHES
- Your favorite toys: big legos - you stack them and break them apart for hours, books - you flip through the pages and look at all the pictures, balls - you throw or roll them back and forth with us, and anything small enough to fit in your hand... like pens (or tampons!)... you carry around all day.
- Your favorite game: Peek-a-boo. You play this all day every day. Literally. You even play with strangers at the store. You duck down behind a chair and then pop up and scream. haha. If there is no chair, you just turn your head away as if you are hiding, then turn around and scream (happy screams/cheers).
- Your other favorite game: "Uh-oh" You learned to uh-oh and it is oh-so-cute!! You know when to use it. You throw a lego on the floor and then look at me and say "uh-oh" with both hands up in the "where did it go" position and shrug your shoulders. Then you pick it up and do it again and again. Oh my gosh!!! You crack us up!!
- Your favorite place: Outdoors. You also love your grandparents homes. You always walk to the front door and knock on it to go outside.
- Your favorite food: Cheerios. You love a lot of food... but, once you see Cheerios, nothing else exists.
- Your current vocabulary: "nana" banana, "uh-oh", "hi" said with cheesy smile, "meh" meow said every time you see kitty, "puh" up - when you want me to pick you up, "no no no" when you are doing something you shouldn't be doing and you know it (you also shake your head "no" when getting into cupboards), "mama", "dada", and other random animal noises you try to mimic like an oink or nay.
- You're a good napper and sleeper. You sleep from 7:30 pm to 7:30 am and take one or two naps during the day. You still sleep on your tummy and knees with your bum in the air and a toy tucked between your legs.
- You love when I lay a blanket over you in your crib. Such a big boy.
- You love attention. You don't play alone very long before you're at my side handing me a book or a toy or wanting to crawl into my lap. I love it... but, you need a sibling. haha.
- You are such a "sosh" as Grandma Jill calls you. You are so social. You smile at most everyone and say "hi" with your cheesy cute smile.
- You still get shy and stare very seriously at others.
- You love kids. Any age... as long as they're not an adult. If you see a kid, you immediately go up to them and smile and play with them.
- You walk really well now. You just haven't figured out how to stand up once you fall without the help of someone or something. You get nervous in new places and prefer crawling in public or on grass.
- You're a chatterbox. You talk while doing almost anything.
- When you get lost and I'm trying to find you, I call out Dylan... and you sit still and silent until I find you. I call out "uh-oh" or "meow" and you can't help but repeat it back and I find you a lot faster. :)
- What people often say about you: I'd guess he's 18 months old, he looks like the Gerber baby, you should put him in baby contests he's so cute, he is such an easygoing baby! you are so lucky!, he's big for his age, he's seriously one of the cutest babies I've ever seen.
- On command: you wave hi, you wave bye, you blow kisses, you know where your head is and point to it, you give us kisses if we say "kisses", I say "let's go for a walk" and you put your hand up and we go walking.
You are just a happy boy. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. Happy 13 months!
