thirteen months old

This post is more than a little late, but Kennedy is 13 months old!


Weight: 21 lbs (50%)
Height: 31inches (90%)

At thirteen months you:
  • Understand I'll say 90% of what I say.
  • Nod your head "yes" when I ask you a question.
  • Have added the words "Mor mor" (my mom), "down", and "all done" to your vocabulary.
  • Walk!  But not well.  It's still more of a party trick at this point than a mode of transportation.
  • Have started to throw major fits.  I was hoping that this would wait a few more months...
  • Had two ear infections and got five new teeth.  Number of teeth now totals 12!  Needless to say, sleep has been going not so great.
  • Go down for your nap really easily.  This is huge!  We read stories and look at pictures until you pass out.

You love:
  • Feeding stuffed animals.  Especially cookie monster.  His mouth is the perfect shape.
  • Playing make believe.  We have tea parties, brush the hair of all of your stuffed animals, give bottles to your dollies; it is so much fun!
  • Walking around holding mommy's hands.
  • Reading books.  You finally will read in mommy or daddy's lap.
  • Wearing sunglasses, hats, coats, and any accessory.

You hate:
  • Being anywhere where you can't crawl.  In a cart, in the stroller, held, it's kind of terrible.  Errands are no longer a great excuse to get out of the house and see new things.  I'm thinking about starting online grocery ordering.

Highlights of the Month:
  • Kennedy was dedicated to the Lord at our church on Thanksgiving weekend.  We had lots of friends and family there with us.  Doug read the verse: 

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way.” Colossians 1:9-10,
  • Had her first Thanksgiving where she got to eat!
  • Auntie Mimi returned home from Germany!!!!!!!!! 
  • Spending an evening with my special cousin Corinne and her family.  We got to meet her new little nugget Eli for the first time.  He is a gorgeous, giggly little boy with AMAZING hair.

  • We got paid to go the LA Auto Show.  I had somehow signed up to be a customer reviewer, and it included free tickets and parking!   
  • One of Kennedy's besties, Nico, turned one!

  • We bought a Zoo membership for Kennedy for Christmas.  Our first zoo adventure was a hit!                                                              


  • Lots of fun Christmas adventures.  We went to the Holiday Stroll, to see the Christmas lights, to Journey to Bethlehem, and to a few Christmas parties.

Santa.  Not her favorite.
