13 months old

Our boy turned 13 months yesterday.

No way am I sitting down!

Who is Bridger at 13 months:

- he is strong willed (that's for sure)
- he is a walker and walks with his hands up as if to tell us it is a touch down. So cute
- he can identify and use the correct words for mama, dada, gabby bby, and his own name when asked bridger, bridger
-He loves to use his pointer finger to touch different things that he sees and of course I try to combine some auditory learning anytime I get a chance.
- He loves having us read books out loud to him, he isn't quite ready to sit through any book that is too long though
-he is cutting 6 teeth right now, two molars (yikes!) and two on top and two on bottom
- we are working on the transition of bottles to sippy cup. I am not pushing to hard since I am working right now, soon 40 days I will be home all summer and will then work on weaning.
- favorite toy right now is mom or dad's computer or cell phone otherwise it is his slide. He loves to stand on it and crawl back and forth from the couch to the slide top.
- he knows how to get off the couch/chairs in the living room all by himself thanks to Olivia showing him last week!
- I am pretty sure we have hit the 25 pound mark according to my scale. It seems like just in the last week he is starting to really blossom into a toddler.

Today while I was driving to work and reflecting on this time last year I could remember making a to-do list of things that I needed to take to Bridger's daycare and wondering how I would remember everything and stressing about what time I would need to get up and out the door to make it to work on time. O how time flies and how things just naturally work it's way out. Life.

Today we are thinking and planning our summer activities: swimming, zoo, soccer tots in late summer, wings center, library, camping, fishing, bike riding, play dates. let's just say that we are excited and have even been wearing shorts the last three days! We are ready.
