Abby at 13 Months

Happy 13 Months, Abigail!

(As you can tell, she wasn't too happy when I was taking this picture. It was towards the end of a long, fun day with Jason's side of the family.)

A few things she's been up to lately:
1. She's been pointing to things she wants/likes.
2. She's walking more and more around furniture and with a walking toy, but she's not close to walking on her own yet.
3. She LOVES to feed herself. She has eaten everything I given her, as long as she can feed it to herself. If I try to give her some left over baby food she'll sometimes fight me on it.
4. She's been doing a lot of copy playing, like if I put on a bracelet and then hand it to her, she'll do the same. She likes to play with cars (while making a brmmm sound) like Caden and tries to color too.

5. She loves to comb her hair (as previously mentioned) with a brush, comb, spoon, fork, etc. :)
6. She'll pick up random things like a remote or toy microphone, hold it up to her ear, and start babbling. This was one of the first pretend things Caden did too. I really didn't think I spent that much time on the phone!
7. She's very vocal at home but a little more shy when there's lots of people around.
8. She likes being outdoors though doesn't seem to be too crazy about grass (which might explain the picture too), esp. if Jason just mowed and it sticks to her hands.
9. She's starting to really hold on to toys when Caden's around and fuss if he tries to take something away. I knew that wouldn't take long.
10. I'm pretty sure she's getting her 4 last teeth to make the grand total of 16.
11. She can drink through a straw which I discovered by accident. She just grabbed my water and started drinking!
12. When she's done eating, she'll hand me her plate as if to say, "More please!"
13. She will wipe her own face when I give her a wipe which she doesn't complain about like when I clean her off.
