13 Months

AnnaBeth is 13 months and just amazing us more and more each day! She's walking VERY well now...the days of crawling are long gone. She understands a lot of what we tell her as well. We seem to have entered the "I'm REALLY frustrated and I don't know how to express it so I'm going to scream often!!" stage. She's also gotten in the habit of saying "uh uh" while shaking her head no. She usually does this when she doesn't want to eat something and then proceeds to throw food on the floor. It's been frustrating for me and I'm trying to get better and just being happy that she's eaten SOMETHING rather than focus on what she's not eating (like vegetables).

She LOVES this kitty, which used to belong to her Great Grandma Locker. Sad thing is, we think she's allergic to the fur or the stuffing (or both) and we have stopped allowing her to take kitty to bed. Once we stopped that, her nightly/early morning coughing has nearly stopped and any coughing she does have, is short lived.

Educating herself on the cholesterol lowering benefits of Cheerios.
Loves to share goldfish crackers...with everyone.

Gets a big kick out of chasing Rufus with his feather toy. Rufus is NOT amused and continually runs away. AnnaBeth faithfully follows after him, giggling.

Waiting patiently (sort of) for Daddy to give her more goldfish crackers.

On the move!!

Learned to say "papa" today!
