Brice at 13 months

This is what happens when I get behind on posts-- the months start ticking away and I'm further and further behind!

 

 

 Brice is still a sweet, loving boy, but this month he has learned how to voice his opinions. If he doesn't like something, he will yell, cry, or (most commonly) squirm away. He also indicates when he wants something-- he's an excellent pointer-- and gets upset if he doesn't get it. Brice is also a true toddler and into EVERYTHING: playing in toilets, pulling trash out of garbage cans, climbing on step stools to get to faucets, constantly climbing the stairs, opening drawers and cabinets and emptying them, etc. He is exhausting!

At 13 months, Brice is:

-Walking! About a week ago he decided that he would walk almost all of the time, and he's done it ever since. He still has some Frankenstein moments, but for the most part, he's steady on his feet. He also learned how to stand up from sitting (rather than having to crawl over and pull himself up) and to bend over and pick something up.

-Talking! His new words are a perfectly formed "ball" and "Car-ol"

-Getting into everything (see above)

 

 

-Taking one nap on the weekends or when we are around

-He still only has 8 teeth and his front top 4 aren't all the way in, so Brice has a funny baby smile.

-Eating almost exclusively table food. Brice especially loves: strawberries, pasta/rice, and peas. He also loves California rolls and vanilla ice cream, but he doesn't get those very often!

-Cheers!ing He thinks it is hilarious and makes us do cheers throughout meal times.

-Quite hilarious. And cute!
