Cain is now 13 months old. He had his FIRST birthday last month on July 12. We celebrated at home because the weather was stormy outside and we couldn't drive him anywhere fun. He enjoyed the birthday song but was scared of the cake :)
Lots of changes have happened since the last post at 8 months old.
1. He learned to walk at 8 1/2 months!! Ever since then his personality has really revealed itself. He is sweet, nurturing, curious, silly and stubborn.
2. He has also started having tantrums. They are pretty funny to watch but now comes the hard part of parenting: disciplining even when you think what they're doing is funny. I haven't really disciplined him yet, I think he's still too young. But I ignore his little outbursts and then he stops. He is such a handful already. But I love him. He's my little boo boo bear :)
3. He finally met his grandparents! They came to visit him in June and Cain fell in love with them. His grandpa taught him how to say "no" by shaking his head. It is still his favorite thing to communicate, to this day :)
4. Cain also met his aunties, uncle and cousins in California. He had the most fun playing with his cousins in San Diego :)
5. Cain had his first road trip this summer. We drove from Virginia to Texas to stay with Nana while Daddy is deployed.
6. Cain is going to be a big brother! His present arrives around Christmas of this year! :)
Ok, now for some pictures!
