Just the 4 of Us: 13 Months

Going on 14 months. WOW! Time just keeps flying, but of course everyone knows that. Makaela is still not walking--we can see that she totally could if she wanted to, but is just being stubborn. She has just blossomed over the last month or so. Her random babbling has turned into babbling sounding sentences. She is trying SO hard to communicate with us!! It's so cute. We just look at her, give her a "teachable" face like we totally understand what she is saying, and when she's finished we say "yes" like we understood everything :) Cute. She is picking up some sign language pretty quickly. She knows "more", "please", and she sometimes does "all done". Sometimes she claps for all done, but sometimes she does the correct sign. She knows how to wave and does so when she hears "hi" or "bye". She knows how to blow kisses and when we say clap, she will clap. Also, as of late, when we say "love you" she will 95% of the time respond with a 2 syllable sound (sometimes "ra-ra" sometimes "ah-da" something of the like). It's so cute.

She LOVES boys (oh great). At church, often times ladies will reach their arms out to her and she will cling to me, but the moment a man reaches his arms out for her she can't get to him fast enough!! She just loves the attention.

She loves to play on our piano, and lately she's been walking around pushing the piano bench. So much for those fun little toys she has to walk with--she walks with the piano bench :) She's also lovin' on Pooh Bear all the time. She has 2 of them plus a little Pooh lovie and she loves all 3 of them. She crawls around with the Pooh lovie in her mouth all the time.

Anyway, she is just loving life and we are just loving her! Here are some pics from the last month.
