13 Months Old
D-Mack looking cute:
Drew is now 13 months old and filling out quite nicely (rounding out at a hefty 24 lbs). He is quite a joy to be around (most of the time) and has the most contagious giggle. He loves to play with Grant and lately they've been enjoying taking baths together. They get each other laughing and splashing... including splashing me. It's great though - saves me time doing their baths together and they have a blast. In fact, if Drew hears the bath water he darts off to the bathroom. One night I decided to give Grant a bath and NOT Drew and he became terribly upset with me. The kid can't see, but he can hear the bath water running a mile away. Grant is also learning to share toys with Drew although it's still a struggle at times.
More on Drew's development: He's not officially walking yet and doesn't show any real desire although he gets where he needs / wants to go with no problem and usually in record speed. So, calculating the effort to need ratio - he's probably figured it's just not worth it. He walks around the furniture really well - in fact, if he has anything to hold onto he does great and he has crawling down to a science!
He's eating all table food now and also enjoys throwing it on the floor when he's full. He knows a few signs including 'up', 'more', 'please', and 'all done'. He can also say a couple things like 'ma ma' (my favorite), 'bye' and 'hi' which he pronounces 'buh' and 'huh' while holding his arm stiffly in the air and waving his hand. In fact, whenever he enters or exits a room or is attempting to engage someone in conversation he will use the 'huh' or 'buh' greeting.
Of all of Drew's cute tendencies, our house favorite is his excessive swaying. He sways to anything all the time. When he wakes in the morning and I go to get him out of bed, he'll be standing up hanging on to the railing of his crib swaying back and forth. There's no music on, no rhythm in the air - just whatever is going on his head. It's hilarious and incredibly cute in my seriously biased opinion.
