Thirteen Month Update

And here we are at 13 months. I can hardly keep up!
George had his year check up a few days ago (late, I know). He is now 32 1/2 inches long (96th percentile) and 25 pounds (70th percentile). He's definitely stretching out!
His walking is getting more steady (and fast) each day. He now changes direction easily and is starting to pay attention to what is on the ground in front of him rather than just tripping.
Recently, George has become a little more picky about food - mostly that he wants to feed himself - so we're exploring all kinds of finger foods. The one exception is yogurt - he will gladly let us feed him that. But other than that, the kid would happily live on avocados, bananas and cheerios. Could be worse, I suppose!
George's vocabulary seems to expand daily. He's now saying book, duckie, car, Daddeeee, boot, bonk (when he falls down), no (of course) and oh nooooo! He's also able to point at your nose, eye, and mouth on command, but beware - he likes to jab and poke rather than just point!
And finally, George has slept completely through the night the last few nights. I'm not celebrating yet, but am very hopeful!
