Thirteen Months!

The months can't seem to slow down! They just keep going by faster and faster! 

Our Maci turned 13 months old on September 13th. 

She is so much fun these days and she always makes us laugh EVERY single day!

You are an expert walker now and pretty much want to be walking/running everywhere! You keep me on my toes which is why I am forever grateful when daddy walks through that door at 5pm! Six months pregnant and chasing around a toddler can drain mommy out!  When we go run errands or shopping at stores you clearly want out of the stroller or shopping cart 9 times out of 10.

Yup, I'm that mom whose kid loves to run through the racks of clothes and thinks it time to play hide and go seek with giggles so loud everyone in the store know where we are.  I secretly love it though.  My mom said I was like this as a toddler so I can see where she gets it from.

Speaking of where she gets it from. Just last week Maci decided she likes to take off her diaper off...anytime/anywhere. My mom and dad told me I totally did this at her age lol. I woke up to seeing Maci on the monitor with her tushie up in the air with no diaper. Yup, sure enough she took it off God knows when and threw it outside of her crib. Luckily she didn't wet the bed so it must have just happened before I saw it. Maybe she is ready to start potty training! How nice would it be to have my oldest under 2 potty trained before her baby brother comes this new year? Less diapers! Wishful thinking on my end, but hey a girl can dream can't she? 

In other news, Maci is speaking up a storm and clearly loves the sound of her own voice. Her annunciation of words is amazing. She will literally watch our mouths as we are sounding out words to her and she will copy us. Some of her favorite words are daddy, momma, stay (mostly to dogs), nana (bannana), maaa (more),daw (dog) hi, bye, wadder(water) baybee (baby.) She will come up to my belly all on her own and touch it very carefully. Already a great big sister I tell ya.

You sleep so well. I hope your brother takes after you girl! You go to bed every night around 8:30 and sleep through the whole night. You wake up anywhere from 8:30 to 9:00 in the morning. We start our day with some MMCH and breakfast (waffles are your favorite) and typically go run some sort of errand for the day. We get out of the house once a day whether it's story time at the library, lunch dates with friends/family, play dates, shopping, grocery shopping, oil changes etc. You take your one nap a day which is generally around 2-4. Then daddy comes home and we have dinner and go for a family walk since the weather is starting to be somewhat decent. Hurry up Fall weather!

We celebrated daddy's birthday this month. You and some of 

your cousins where there to help him blow out his 

candles to have a fabulous 28th birthday!

Playing the piano with cousin Jack.

You could follow him and his brother Connor all day long.

You love to hang with the big kids!

 We went to the Sugar Land Skeeters game with Jamie this month.
They made it to the beginning of the play offs this year. Go Skeeters!

You seriously love your Jamie!
Being silly as usual :)

You are in size 18 month clothes and some 24 months, depending on the brand. Size 5 shoes.

Size 4 diapers... size 5 at night. You love to put on your own sunglasses and take out your bows to put them back in yourself. You want to feed yourself most of the times with a spoon. All in all, I would say you are growing up to be a independent little lady.  I mean who wouldn't love a fun, loud, lovable, kissable, huggable, squishy, independent, blue eyed beauty?! 

Ill eat you up I love you so!

Happy Thirteen Months Maci Maureen :)
