Monthly Milestones

Today Annabelle is 13 Months old! Here are some new things she did this month....

She had her first french braid this month! I was able to braid it while she ate breakfast!

This month can pretty much be summed up by WALKING! We are not all out walking just yet, but we have come so far since the beginning of the month! We love walking up and are learning how to come down the steps!!

She loves imitating what we do, especially what Daddy does! Look and see!

She is learning Cause and Effect with her Chicken Racer!


She signs a lot more. She knows Milk and Please. She uses Please a lot. The other day I put away her cookies and she kept signing, "Please" and I kept signing and saying, "All done"! She shakes her head, "NO" and knows when she means it.

She recognizes certain items and can go get them from another room. She knows duck, baby, Baby Treece, Mickey & Minnie Mouse. The other day we were in her bedroom and I said, "Annabelle, where is baby Treece?" She crawled out her room and to the living room right to where Baby Treece was in her baby swing.

She loves emptying things. Whether it be the bookshelf, toy bag, or kitchen cupboards Annabelle can clear off any shelf. Now we need to work on putting things back where they belong! She loves playing Peek-a-Boo, and often incitiates it on her own!

She can dance while standing all by herself! Sorry I haven't gotten that on video, but here she is dancing!

She now has 5 teeth.

She loves reading wheather by herself or with Mommy and Daddy.

She says, Mama and Dada and know how to use it. Mostly she speaks a lot of jibberish. When I ask her to repeat words like "All done" she tries and often it sounds like she is getting it.

She has tried a lot more table food. Foods she likes include, Mac N Cheese, Grilled Cheese, Pizza, Jelly sandwiches, applesauce, and Raviolis. Foods she hates or shakes her head "NO" to are peaches or green beans.

Annabelle is 22 lbs (53 percentile) and 29 inches (26 percentile) long
