AveryDay Life: Labor Day Weekend!

I have not done a good job of updating our blog. I will go back and update some things that have happened since your birthday. This weekend was a long weekend for Labor day, so we were able to do a lot of fun things. The weather was great, so we played outside as much as we could. We went to the park twice to feed the ducks and swing on the swings. You also like the slide now. On Monday, we went to Aunt Teresa and Uncle Steve's house for ribs. You had a blast playing with Suna and James. James pulled you in his wagon and took you for lots of rides in his Jeep. He also let you play with his favorite Transformers toys, but asked you to be “a little bit careful”.

You are 13 months old now! You are all over the place now walking, running, talking more. This weekend you said No and Baby for the first time that I've heard. So, at this point you can say those two things and Mama, Dada, Mommy, I, Daddy, Uh Oh, No, Kitty, Pepper, Shelby, Dixie and Night Night. You also use the sign language you learned at daycare to tell me milk and more. Right now, your favorite things to do are play outside, swing at the park, splash in your pool or the tub, stand at the front door and look out the glass door, say Bye Bye to everyone and everything, try to climb the stairs on your own because you are not supposed to. You love touching the electrical outlets and listening to us say no over and over again. You have already figured out how to remove the covers we put on them, so we have to get new ones. You enjoy clapping your hands to pat a cake or a Korean song Grandma taught you called Jam Mocho. You are a really funny and sassy girl. You talk all the time, but we don't know what you are saying :) You keep us all entertained and laughing most of the time.

Your new favorite place to sit when the baby gate is down - the first step.
