Yesterday Anderson turned 13 months old!
1. He says Daddy clearly but does not say Mama (he still can't pronounce the "m" sound). Sometimes I hear him say it but mostly he calls me Bubba.
2. His first words are Daddy, Bye, Boon (for balloon), cucu (cookie), Agua (water), and Ella.
3. He uses sign language and it is SO helpful! He signs milk, eat, more, all done, swings (which means take me to the park!), and elephant.
4. He loves to eat all kinds of food and is not a picky eater. I really hope it stays that way!
5. He is not fond of much fruit on it's own. I have to make him a smoothie every morning and try to get a ton of fresh fruit in it. He does like apples and bananas though.
6. He is down to only 15 oz of milk a day. He does not like milk out of a sippy cup. I am struggling because I want him to still get his milk but he does not like the cup. For some reason he starts to gag. He loves water and juice out of a sippy cup.
7. He loves going to the park. He will sign swings and I know that means he wants to go outside and play!
8. He is walking up a storm! He has mastered the skill of walking the past 2 weeks which is why he loves the park even more now.
9. Even though he signs swings he does not like the swings anymore. He prefers to toddle around the park and go down the slide or chase balls.
10. He loves watching the dogs at the dog park.
11. He is really into animal sounds. His animal sounds include panting for dogs, "baa" for sheep, "ooooo" for cows, and growling for lions.
12. He loves going to the book store. He walks around, pulls books off the shelves, and just has the best time reading and playing with the puppets and all the fun toys they have.
13. My favorite sign he does is all done. He also says it, "ah du" when he signs. Yesterday when he woke up after his nap I went to his room to get him. He looked up at me from his crib and said all done. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!
