13 months. Wow. Still can't get over it. Not much has changed in the last month. From what my pediatrician says their weight and height does not change much in their 2nd year. He is still wearing the same clothing and diaper size. He was not a fan of long sleeve shirts or long sleeve pajamas but has since come around to the idea. It is starting to get a bit cooler here in AZ so it's nice that his is starting to like wearing those things. Plus that is pretty much all they sell for kids his age at the clothing stores. I was a little scared that he wasn't going to want to wear all the cute fall/winter clothing in his closet! We have started to put shoes on him as well. He wore them for his 1 year photo session and didn't mind them so much but has since changed his mind. Every time he is wearing them he tries to pull them off and throw them to the ground. He is also starting to "Frankenstein" walk. He takes the unbalanced, shaky steps toward me or Chris and sometimes even the dogs. He is getting better at it each day but still not to the point where it is more than 5-6 steps before falling. He will get there. We don't rush him and we let him do things at his own pace. He also started clapping. He doesn't do it on command or when you are "suppose to" (saying yay, etc) but more on when he feels like it. He very much enjoys the company of the dogs and gets very VERY excited when he sees them or plays with them.
His sleep schedule is still the same, 1-2 naps during the day and 12hrs straight at night. His eating has become more of a 3 big meal 2 snacks sort of routine. He still only drinks milk at night before bed and nothing but water all day long. The Doctor says its ok that he isn't a big milk drinker, he gets his dairy in cheese and yogurt.
We are excited for his first real Halloween in a few more days. We plan to take him trick-or-treating with his cousins, Leighan and Kennedy. I'm sure it won't last long but should still be fun.
I have decided to change up this years monthly photos with a different vintage chair and a chalkboard. His photos his first year where on fabric pieces with monthly stickers on his onesie as well as a monthly chair picture of him in a vintage yellow chair and mustache pillow. He was much more interested in the pumpkin, laughing and playing with it. Of course once I finally get him to look at me and sit still he gives me the serious "board meeting" face. Ahh...my child. I love him :)
