Moses is 13 Months Old

Moses turned 13 months old on the 1st of September. He's still not walking yet. But he's taking little jaunts here and there. Yesterday he walked a good five feet by himself. So I know by 14 or 15 months old he'll be walking full-time. I was a late walker - 18 months old - so I think he's doing better than I was at the same age.

He's talking a bit more now. Not clearly, but the intent is there. He says, "hi", "thank you," "pee-boo (peek-a-boo), and "Agua." And whatever else he was saying before. Still not the vocabulary his sisters had at this age, but he's just taking his time.

Moses' hair was getting quite long, so Richard broke out the clippers for his first haircut. We were surprised how emotional we would be about it. It was sad to see the curls go and see this "little boy" emerge from where our "baby boy" had been. He looks very handsome though - growing up way too fast.

Haircut aftermath, all those soft baby curls...

Looking like a big boy!

The girls are changing too. Just today, Frances woke up, made her bed, got dressed and came downstairs - all by herself. They are  more and more independent. I had to go get new shoes for them as the ones from the spring were running a bit small. We got "cookie" inserts to support their arches since they were pronating while walking.

The latest Wacha Sayin'?:

After a marathon clothes-changing in the morning, I had told them, "no more until after breakfast." I'm in the kitchen and I hear them whispering, "Geez, Mommy is being bossy!" I had to laugh.

A recent favorite phrase, "That's boring..."

MY current fav: "I love you sooo much."
