Our precious little baby has now learned to throw temper tantrums. A few weeks ago we got a little preview of those when she threw one in the bacon section at Wal-Mart. Jason took a pack from her so she started screaming and went "boneless" as they say on Psych and then layed down in the floor. While in Texas she has started to perfect these tantrums. We have really had to work on our ability to trick her from the things she wants to throw a fit over to the things she is allowed to have. She has learned to shriek which is hillarious but we try not to let her see us laughing :)
There have been some positive developments as well, she has learned to use a few signs, such as more, eat, milk, baby and sometimes love. The love sign is not really the correct ASL sign but it is the sign between herself, her daddy and I. Apparently she had been signing more for a very long time but we were not able to tell, now it is obvious. We have tried since she was at least 6 months old to get her to sign and now when she signs she also adds, or tries to add the word. Her vocabulary has also increased slightly, everything is still pretty much THAT but she had added MOMMA which she usually yells, bird, water, juice, baby, more, simple things like that. I am pretty proud of the things she is able to do and when I first saw her sign more I got all teary eyed. We of course think she is very clever, we can show her how to do something one time and from then on she does it herself. She can follow directions pretty easily now which really surprises me.
My big girl is started to thin out, she doesn't look nearly as big to us as she used too. Her pants are too big for her now and she is wearing some 6/9 month clothes. The sleeves and legs are a little bit short but I am pretty happy she is able to still wear some of her onesies. I say she looks smaller to us but when she is next to a baby her own age she is still quite a bit taller. She just looks so chunky without a diaper, but I'd be surprised if she weighs 22 lbs.
She is eating more and different types of foods, her daddy gave in and is letting her eat french fries. He used to get so mad when I would give her a little bite of one, now she is able to hold them herself and take bites. Rarely does she stuff the entire thing in her mouth, but it happens.

13 Months!
To my beautiful girl on your thirteenth month of life!
It seems as though you have grown so much in the past month, you are walking everywhere and anywhere now. I still think you are a rat, you started taking your first steps 3 days after your first birthday. December the 14th was your due date and that is the date that you decided it was time to walk to momma. I'll never forget seeing you take that first step. Momma had so been afraid of missing things since she worked and didn't get to spend the entire day with you but that is one that I didn't miss. You saw me come through the door and walked right toward me, well really to the recliner but then you held on to get to me. You have gotten to play in the snow for the very first time. You loved the snow, but the big suit you had to wear not so much. You did look adorable in it even if it was uncomfortable for you. You are slowing adding words to your vocabulary. You are still very stubborn, which is something that is probably only going to increase as you age. Your hair is growing and you have a good amount in the back, the front still has a ways to go but you still have more hair than dadda! It even curls in the back when it is wet. It is very pretty, I'm not sure where those cute curls came from though. The way your hair is growing they may be here to stay.
There are still so many things for you to do for the very first time and momma gets so excited to experience those with you. This past weekend you went to an indoor water park. The water was a little cold so you didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected but you still had a good time. You took a three hour nap while we were there, you never ever ever do that. We are lucky to get you to nap for 45 minutes! You were really tired and worn out. We are so lucky to have you, we have so much fun playing with you or just sitting with you. You are a little comedian who loves to have all the attention. If someone isn't paying attention to you you will let them know it and once they start then you ignore them. You make us laugh so much and enjoy so many different things. I'm glad you are my little baby! :) We love you!
