Thirteen Months

  Time is flying by.  Mommy and Daddy cannot believe that I am 13 months old today.  I think that they are ready for time to slow down because I am growing up so fast.
  Over the last few weeks:
- I have graduated to the big kids tub.  I was skeptical at first and then really had fun with it.  But, the last few days I am not enjoying it.  Mommy thinks that it is because she will not let me stand up so I keep pitching a fit.  She hopes I will soon learn that she is just trying to protect me and keep me safe.
- We had a fun evening at a nearby water park with our church.
- Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 2-year wedding anniversary on August 28th - I am sure glad that they got together and then had me :)
- I've had several play dates with friends - and am slowly warming up to other people. 
- I am walking all over the house.  Mommy and Daddy are having to be more careful about keeping doors and cabinets closed.  
- I am talking up a storm.  If only my parents could understand what in the world I am saying!
- I still only have 5 teeth.  My parents are beginning to wonder where the rest of them are.
- Mommy is amazed at how quickly I am learning new things.  For example, she can say to me, "Caitlyn, please hand me the red car" and I will do just that.  

Daddy is putting some batteries in a few toys for me

When Mommy pulls out the camera these days,
I sometimes pitch a fit if she does not let me hold it
