13 month old Moey...

Wow, has it really been a month since her birthday!?

It is like something has clicked with her. She has started understanding so much more and doing so many more things.

Moey loves to try to whistle. She purses her lips and blows hard. She's actually quite good at it.

She understands simple commands...now I know that makes me sound like she's a puppy...haha. If I ask her to bring me a toy, she brings it right over.

Moey loves to share. She will bring you what she has and holds it to you.

She is practically running.

Her most recent trick is backing up. She loves to sit in our laps. She will walk over and back up into you. She also does this with other objects such as blankets and exercise balls.

She loves standing on her head!!!

She LOVES her baby doll, Clarence. She walks around with him, burps him, kisses his head. It is so sweet.

She is a champion sleeper on her own! She doesn't even cry when we put her to bed. She rolls right over, grabs a friend and snuggles.

She says bye-bye and hi now, of course with the appropriate hand movements.

She understands yes and no. She answers questions with a head nod or a shake. Its so funny. She is very deliberate in her movements.

Such a sweet little toddler.

Her ear infections just keep coming. She is getting ear tubes on June 12th May 15. We are nervous and excited about the surgery. Many people like to put blame on formula for ear infections. Moeys doctor said this is not the case. There is not enough evidence to show there is a huge correlation between formula fed babies and ear infections. Its all about their anatomy. The ear canal of a 1 year old is horizontal, making it hard for built-up fluid to drain. When you can't get rid of the fluid----it just keeps getting infected. So hopefully the tubes will help Moey and she won't be uncomfortable anymore.
