Mia,
At 13 months, you:
Are wanting really badly to walk. On 3/17 you finally started actually taking lots of steps in a row.
Are talking. You've copied sounds from everyone around you since you were a few months old, and now those sounds are more than just babble with intonation. You say mama, dada, milk, all done, your sister's name (Pink), hi, bye, and today you added stop (you copied "cop" from Lizzie), tickle, and Kat.
Are asserting your independence. You are particularly miffed by diaper changes lately.
Love to play and giggle with your sisters.
Still are a pretty darn happy baby. You're generally just content, except when you're getting molars in - then you cry & fuss & are a complete mess.
Are beautiful. Your eyes are captivating!
Climb everywhere. When we brought your excersaucer back in the house to give to Ellie, you just climbed inside (no easy feat), and I've found you on the stool or chair at the sink, on the Dora table, scaling the gate at the bottom of the stairs, and on the couch. Sigh.
Have started playing hard-to-get. You smile at people or call "Dada!" and then turn away all coy.
Sing all the time. So sweet. And you're impressively accurate - obviously your ability to carry a tune doesn't come from mama.
We love you so much! You, my Mia, are the perfect completion for our family.
