Samuel 13 Months

At 13 months, Samuel is still keeping us on our toes!  The child is on the go, non stop!  He is walking more and more each day but still crawls more than walks at this point.  Diaper changes remain a battle every time because he doesn't like to be still even for a minute.  He is now climbing onto Henry's bed, the futon, and our kitchen stool and right onto the kitchen table when we don't intercept him.  He likes stroller rides but only when we are moving.  He is talking a little more, learning the words "up", "down" and "bottle" this month and says "mmmm" when he's hungry.  He stopped nursing this month and made a smooth transition to whole milk from a bottle.  He remains a pretty opinionated eater but loves crackers and fruit.  He has finally consistently sleeping through the night every night now and even going down for naps better.  He loves to be tickled and plays a game where he falls back on his back and waits for you to tickle him over and over.  He likes peek a boo too.  He can stack all the rings on a peg by himself and can mount and ride his little bike by himself now too!  We can't believe how fast he is growing and learning!  Where has the time gone???

He can now get on this bike and cruise around all by himself.

He is obsessed with climbing this stool and will continue on to the table itself  even!
