13 months

Now that Joseph is 1, I am still undecided if I'll keep up with the monthly update/picture but at 13 months I am not quite ready to stop so here it is.
He is such a ham!
On January 7th, 2012 Joseph turned 13 months! We spent the week getting back into our routine at home and although we loved our travels it is nice to have him back in his own room and sleeping from 7 to 7 instead of 7 to 4:30 a.m. which is what he was doing for the majority of the vacation!
He is definitely on the go now...I was unpacking after our trip and had the suitcases stacked up and turned my back to put some things away and I turned around to see this:
His little walk is just the cutest and every day he gets sturdier and sturdier.
It is amazing how in such a few short weeks so much can change...from the walking to his comprehension and verbal abilities. He is now a huge fan of pointing out his belly button (and others!), his head, nose, eyes and mouth. A version of "da", "dog/duck" or "dat" is pretty much what he says all day with an occasional "ma" thrown in there. We're in the transition phase of 2 naps to 1 nap-some days he takes 2, some days it is 1 but when he does just take 1 it never seems long enough so we're still working on it! He surprised us in late December with doing "more" from baby sign language and this week has perfected the sign for "eat." (really though, this one didn't surprise us :) We're hoping "all done" is next but thinking that one may be awhile since he has perfected his own personal sign for all done which consists of throwing his food on the floor, with a big smile on his face...makes it hard to discipline him when he is so gosh darn cute!
Happy 13 months little guy. We love you!
