Last weekend, Drew was officially thirteen months old. It is crazy how many things have changed from his birthday until now. He has definitely kept us busy and very entertained. He went to his well check the week after he turned one. He weighed 22.4 pounds and was 28.9'', putting him in the 50th and 25th percentile. Some highlights from his 13th month...
Mastered walking about two weeks after his birthday. He had taken some steps here and there, but out of the blue that second weekend, he just took off and hasn't stopped since!
Cut 3 molars within one week of each other. What a rough week! He ran a low grade fever off and on and just wasn't himself. We were very thankful he wasn't sick with the flu or any of the other bugs that were going around at the time though.
Really started jabbering this month. Loves to tell big stories and has discovered talking on the phone! I'm not sure where he gets this...
Discovered the cheeseball stash and enjoys sharing with Duke. He gets so tickled watching Duke take a cheeseball from him. I know, this is kind of gross, but... he is a boy.
He has learned to clean and loves it! You can give him a towel or wipe and he will go to town.
He went on his first little dinner date with Aubrey. Her dad was in denial, but Drew asked her through a letter and everything. The date was at Eastside Grill.
Started liking books and puzzles more. He will point to certain things in a book if you ask him where it is. I know that seems small, but I love it! When he knows he has put the right shape in the cube or gets pretty close on a puzzle piece, he will pull away really fast and say "Ah!". It's pretty cute to see him get excited for himself.
He has always been very curious, but now that he is fully mobile, he helps himself to whatever he wants. The refrigerator is definitely one of his favorite places to explore.
If the rest of this next year is as fun as this first month has been, I can't wait to look back and recap everything. It has been so neat to watch Drew turn into an actual toddler and develop his own little personality. He loves to watch us act silly and I can see a sense of humor in him already. His teacher told us the other day he was very independent, but he is also a huge cuddle bug when Andy or I are around. He is so happy and loves to laugh, but he can throw a pretty good fit too. He is in. to. everything. I swear we watched him walk around the house today just looking for the next thing to destroy. We definitely have a little mess on our hands, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
