13 Months


Carter turned 13 months old yesterday! He is still in a size 3 diaper, he is wearing a size 4 in shoes, and he wears 12-18 month clothing. He is eating baby foods like a champ and we have started introducing regular foods that Blake and I are eating. He loves cheese, as well as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We are no longer using bottles. He drinks from a sippy cup that has a straw with water during the day and at nap time he drinks from a sippy cup with a nipple with formula. He loves to babble and say "mama" and "dada" and clap his hands. He still watches Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Super Why. Carter is crawling and moving all over the place. He took 13 steps the other night, so I don't think it will be long until he is totally walking. I am getting my exercise by chasing him around all day. He is getting into everything and he can pull himself up to stand using just about anything in sight. My baby boy is growing up so fast and I don't like it one bit. Of course we are still enjoying every minute with our little man. We are reading a lot, practicing our ABCs, colors, shapes, and numbers. Carter loves when Blake and I sing to him so we have become quite good. We also moved Carter to a convertible carseat but we have it rear facing for safety. Carter has 4 teeth on the top and 4 teeth on the bottom. We are loving every minute with this fast-growing 13 month old!
