13 Months

Dear FIN,
You made it to 13 months, and I would've been able to say, "you made it this far completely content with crawling" but yesterday, on your 13 month milestone, you busted out the walking like a mad man. Its like you just got it in your head that you wanted to walk. And you worked really hard at it too. You still like to crawl around, but you definately split your time between crawling, and sending me and your dad into a frenzy baby proofing everything.
I spend a lot of time trying to figure out your next move, but as usual, you are one step ahead of me. You have been eating really well, and just when I think i'm making your favorite meal, you decide that you hate it and toss it on the floor. Which brings me to the next point, Winston is plain ol' getting fat. If we reduce his dog food intake, I'm pretty sure you'd sense it and feed him everything on your plate. You love Winston... most of the time... when you realize he is there. You play so hard with everything, and are so inquisitive on how things work. I just wonder what you are analyzing in that sweet head of yours.
This has been a fun month. Just this morning your dad remarked at how some people think that age one is worse than the terrible 2's. Where I like to think, I enjoy everything with you, every day. I like how you just lay on your back and hold a toy above you and just stare at it, for 2 minutes. Its 2 minutes of not chasing you. 
I know you will continue to grow wickedly fast... I take great pleasure in holding and squeezing you when I can - mostly against your will, but its my will against yours to keep you my baby as long as possible.
love - mama.
