Melissa's Major Milestone 12-13 Month



Time flies, and another month has gone by. Mommy barely has time to update Melissa’s blog! Anyhow, here are some major milestones when Melissa is 12-13 month old:

• Can walk many steps now but seems to forget how to walk when she wears shoes.
• Her 5th and 6th teeth both came out.
• Not into a swing at all.
• She picks up a book, brings it over to mommy/daddy, and sit down in our laps.
• Enjoys reading picture cards/books a lot.
• Loves to eat as usual and eats fairly healthy but definitely shows preference towards food and often complains that food is not served fast enough.
• She does not like water boiled veggies but still loves steamed unseasoned broccoli. Discovered that grapes are so yummy!
• Prefers mama’s homemade cook over baby food cans.
• Likes to put things in the box (cleaning up) and pour them out and repeats this process over and over…
• Laughs really loud when you chase after her.
• Knows how to ride her little car.
• Wants to spoon feed herself.
• Uses sippy cup to drink water rather than using bottles.
• Starts drinking soy formula and soy milk, and she is accepting it. Mommy is still breastfeeding twice a day.
• Seems to be losing weight as her size 4 diapers seems loose comparing to a month ago.
• Talks/screams a lot and clearly knows who mommy is.
• Prefers real remote controls, cell phones, and laptops than kiddy ones.
• Continues to sleep pretty well from 9pm ish to 8am ish but only Mommy can put her to sleep...She loves cuddling with mommy when she sleeps.

Melissa looks like a kid now. She does really know what she like. She is such a darling to us. I really miss her and love her.

What a big girl and mommy's helper!(I mean the pouring out portion. I actually trained Leo to do simple vacumning using stick vacumn. He thought it was fun. :-)
