andrea is 13 months old!!!

Andrea turned 13 months old yesterday.
I think she's doing pretty well for a little 13 month old.

Milestones:
walking (although she prefers to hold a hand wherever shes going she does it pretty consistently on her own as well), pointing, she says mom, daddy, shakes her head no when she doesn't want something, when we count she knows that three comes after 2 and says teeeee LOL ITS ADORABLE!!! knows what shhhh means and will tell you on command lol, she blows kisses and gives kisses on command, hugs, waves byebye, shes ok with playing independently but its really not her favorite thing to do lately she'd rather be stuck to my leg, she's also trying to feed herself with utensils, i dont know if tantrums are a milestone or not lol but she has definitely entered into that phase!! thats all that comes to mind these days i'm sure theres so much that i'm leaving out but those are the main things.

Andrea is on regular "people food" lol usually i give her whatever we eat i just try to make things a little healthier and kid friendly for her sake. she loves pb&j sammies which i introduced to her about two weeks ago.. those and mac and cheese are a big hit with her.

Since she turned 1 she has become crazy in love with her daddy. Which is kind of difficult for me at times because i miss the way she used to be obsessed with me.. but i love seeing the dynamic between her and gustavo... it reminds me of my relationship with my dad... and i love it... she also loves her grandfather and happens to be crazy over him as well.. its cute!!

co sleeping has really plateaued for us... its gotten sooooo bad... i cant even describe how miserable nights can be sometimes... basically fitting my ever so restless toddler in our queen sized bed plus mommy and daddy just isn't cute anymore lol... on a nightly basis i get kicked in the face, head butted, and pretty much pushed off the bed.. i dont even know what its like to snuggle with my husband anymore lol....trying to put her in the crib is extremely hard... she screams until she throws up... if i wait until she falls asleep and then put her in she either wakes up immediately or she wakes up 3 hours later!! its just really bad... even the simple task of getting her to sleep is difficult as she bops around the bed 50 times and screams when we lay her down to sleep.. meanwhile this is usually after 4 hours of play time, and a warm bath with lavendar soap, a warm bottle, NOTHING works... ugh its extremely frustrating.

other than that i would say we have a normal 13 month old who loves to play and watch mickey mouse lol... i love her so much and wouldn't change anything about her... it's all part of the process. happy 13 months little minnow mommy loves you <3
