More pictures

Here are a few more pictures from the beginning of October!

October: 13 months old

Happy October everyone! I have been enjoying the colorful crunchy leaves on my walks with Mommy. It's starting to get chilly in the mornings here in Seattle, so I've switched over to wearing my footed fleece pajamas at night. Mommy and Daddy are still working to get all of our things unpacked and in their proper place at our new house. I am proud to say that I now have eight teeth! They feel so funny in my mouth... I use my tongue to play with them all the time. I have my first cold of the season and have a yucky runny nose and cough. Mommy is very hopeful that I will turn a corner over the weekend, because I am feeling pretty miserable. I have been a more adventurous eater lately. My newest foods have included fish sticks, smoked salmon and spinach crepes, kiwi, and cranberry blueberry juice. I won't eat very much at one time, but Mommy and Daddy are concentrating on exposing me to lots of different flavors, and hoping that my appetite will eventually catch up!

My Family Birthday Party

Mommy and Daddy misplaced the camera again when we moved! Fortunately, my cousin Katie took a few pictures at my family birthday party. I had the BEST time that day! There were 30 of my relatives over at our new house for a barbeque, and the Antique Car Show was going on just a block away! My Grandma Libby made my cake. I got lots of really fun presents, including a musical table, books, a ladybug that I can ride on, blocks, and a truck... to name a few! I had my 12 month check up with the doctor on September 15th. I weighed 19lbs 6oz, and was 30 inches long. It looks like I'm going to take after my mommy in the weight department... I was only in the 15th percentile! The doctor was very pleased with how I am doing and said I looked great! I have been teething up a storm. I have three teeth on the bottom, plus a fourth that is really close to coming in. I have my two front teeth on top, but they have barely broken the surface, and I am working on two more up there as well. I have learned how to point to things that I want, or that I would like Mommy and Daddy to look at. I have also learned how to walk with my little walker toy, but have not taken my first unassisted steps yet. My newest discovery is the toilet paper roll. I just love to unroll it all over the floor! Mommy and Daddy can tell I am understanding more of what they say now, and are anxious to see what my next word will be. My favorite things right now are dogs and airplanes. Mommy and I go looking for both on our walks each day. Hopefully Mommy and Daddy will find their camera while they are unpacking more of the boxes this weekend. I'm sure they will be taking a ton of pictures of me once they find it!
