Baby's got Skills

At 12 months  13 months....(well shit how could I forget he just turned 13 months yesterday?!) he's not yet 20 lbs.  OFFICIAL STATS: 18.25 lbs 29.25" and 18.5" HC

So, LLM has a normal sized head and a small body.  No wonder I feel like his head looks huge!  I am mildly concerned about him getting underweight at some point, but as Ms J pointed out... he eats healthy, learning, and doesn't stop moving.

Development-wise, the doc says he's right on schedule.  I won't say he's ahead of the curve, but he did surprise the doctor by mimicking the word "shot".  Which he will probably forever now, just as we all do, equate shots at the doctor to a lot of pain.  This time I actually did cry a little when he got his shots.  I mean it looked like it really hurt!! You got this kid who's scrawny legs have no juicy baby meat on them and a needle that's 2 INCHES LONG...yeah. I'd be hurting too.

He's quick to learn, having already mastered the single step booty scoot.  Gotta try and keep him away from the big stairs as long as I can though.  Never fear, the baby gate has been ordered! Hoorah!

He knows that 'strumming' his fingers on the guitar will make the toy play music. One thing that surprises me though is that he kind of knows certain cabinets are no-no cabinets.  I technically haven't baby proofed the kitchen which is an accident waiting to happen, but he definitely avoids the cabinets that I've continually enforced as no-no places.  Which is awesome, but I know he's just going to get more and more curious as he gets older.

The mane is getting ridic long.  I finally made an appointment to get it cut! Really all he needs is a clean up around his ears and to chop off the little rat tail that is beginning to grow.  It's been bugging his dad a lot longer than me, so I have no idea why he didn't do it already.  Maybe hoping for the mullet to come back in style? BAH-ha.

I am once again sick, germ infested, brain dead, and needing a break.  This whole month has been non stop. But that's just the way (uh huh uh huh) I like it.  When I'm not sick of course.

Picture reel time:
trying to ride his bike, but can't reach the floor!

silly faces before bathtime

we learned how to blow mommy's whistle....with a lot of spit.

baby bright eyes. his eyes are still steely blue, maybe they'll stay that way??
