Sophie: 13 Months
This is a couple days late but we were in Baltimore for Sophie's 13 month birthday so I have an excuse.
Since her first birthday Sophie has become quite the walker. She now loves to run, mostly away from us with objects like pens in her hand. She also loves to play chase now. If we say "I'm gonna get you!" She will turn and run, squealing with delight while waving her arms in the air.
Her temper is becoming more apparent as well. Now if you tell her "No" or take something away from her she will glare at you and bang her chest a la King Kong. She is also experimenting with hitting me and her father. That results in a severe scolding which prompts her to then hit herself.
She talks a lot! I am going to try and list all the words that she says on a regular basis but she will pretty much try to repeat any word that you say. I really need to start watching my language.
Mom (Hooray! Finally! Jake still tries to get her to call me Bob though.)
Dad
Boo (This is usually to scare her Grandpa and Grandma)
Dog
Woof
No
Uh-Oh
All Gone
Don't Touch (I was wiping her face the other day and she told me "Don't touch".)
Yuck
Duck
Neigh (The sound for a horse)
Up
Bottle
Tickle Tickle
Hello
Bye Bye
Nigh Nigh (at bed time)
Tree
Balloon
Ho Ho Ho
Moo
Boots
Some other things she enjoys are singing, pointing at things as saying "uuhhh?" to ask what they are, dancing and holding anything cloth like in her hands and waving it frantically. She still has three teeth although we thought a couple more were breaking in the other day.
If you could bottle this kids energy maybe George W. would have an alternative to his brilliant plan to bring coal back. :)
