Reid at 13 Months

This month went by so quickly! Reid is another month older and is growing so much. Here are some of his milestones from this month:

- He is a WALKER!!!! He's really taken off in the past couple of weeks, choosing to walk instead of being coaxed into it. He's becoming steadier by the day and is gaining speed as well.
- He is finally cutting some more teeth! He cut two this past week and seems to be working on a couple more. However, this is not going well for him. He has a drool rash, isn't eating well or sleeping well, and is generally just miserable a lot of the time. I hate it for him. We are hoping he'll get a break soon.
- His favorite toys lately are his new book full of "first words." He loves to point at the same things over and over again while I repeat their names. He also loves his barn. He likes to hear me say the names of the animals and make their sounds. Then he likes to throw them all into the silo. :) He is also still obsessed with balls. He likes kicking a soccer ball and rolling/throwing a basketball. He's a sports fan for sure.
- He still loves to be outside and is almost always happy if he can be outside. He enjoys walks, outings to the park, etc. He can sit and play with wood chips and leaves for hours but also loves climbing stairs at the park and sliding down the slides. Jack and Graham love to catch him!
- He has become a very picky eater, which we are hoping is caused by his teething and will pass. He seriously spits most foods back out at us and then proceeds to throw food all over the floor. Mealtime is my least favorite time of day with Reid at this point! The only foods he will eat consistently at this point are bananas, spaghetti, and graham crackers. :/
- His favorite new word is "DAT" which means "what's that?" He loves to point at things and ask us what/who it is. I like his curiosity. :)
- He loves playing rough with Daddy and "bubbas" and laughs like crazy when they act silly! I love to hear that laugh and to see how loved he is by his family!
