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!
