13 months

13 months old and he is starting to seem more and more boyish and toddler-ish everyday!

He is still way into saying animal noises and vehicle noises.
Tractor says "dutdutdut"
Helicopter says "mumumumu"
Truck says "vroom"
airplane says "mmm"

He does the sounds for a
cow
duck
horse
sheep
I will line his animals up on the coffee table and tell him to bring me the "zebra" and he will put it in my hand...he is following some simple commands.

He loves to open his mouth wide and say "OOOO" and his little eyes get big...so cute! He copies everything or at least tries to.

The foods he loves...
well pretty much everything and anything we eat now, which is wonderful!
He is a great eater.

He loves...
bananas
toast with peanut butter
chicken
sweet potatoes
broccoli
tomatoes
cheese
melon
manicotti
even some spicy stuff
Let me just say the ONLY thing I found he doesn't like are avocados, Eric doesn't like them either, which is just crazy!

There is a picture of Eric and Carson on my phone and so he always says "dada" anytime I am on the phone now.

After his bath at night when I walk with him past the front door he says "dada" because he knows it is getting close to when daddy comes home....so sweet!

He went to the doctor this month and he screamed and fought harder than any other baby his doctor had ever seen...what a stinker!

He now has 2 more teeth that have recently surfaced making the grand total 8.

He is understanding "no" and "don't touch", thank goodness...not to say he isn't defiant and will touch it anyways : )

He wears size 4 diapers and mostly 12 month clothes with some 18 month stuff, he is sort of in between right now.

He weighs 21 pounds.

When I leave him with someone I get lots of hugs and kisses from him when I return...nice to know he loves his mommy!

He loves all his family and is quite happy having so many people love on him and play with him!

He screams most Sundays the whole time we are in church...lovely!

He likes to swim.

He is obsessed with balls...he goes around the house all day with his hands out saying "ball?, ball?"

We go to mommy and me and Carson plays with other kids...well I guess at this age they don't really play together they just do their own thing...really funny to watch actually!

He is more interested in Daisy now and will climb on her and pat her...thankfully Daisy is a very relaxed dog.

His carseat faces forward now so he can see what is going on better now and loves it.

And I will end with a funny story....we were at a playgroup one day and a little boy came up to him and tried to kiss him on the lips while they were playing in a kiddie pool....well Carson was just not having it and with both hands pushed him down. The little boy tried again and Carson pushed him down again... he fell in the water so he went splash, he didn't get hurt....sorry was I suppose to tell him "no"? I was laughing so hard I couldn't!!! Daddy was very proud of course! haha! He has had kisses from girls and he was okay with it, but he just doesn't swing that way.
