nathaniel at 13 months

Nathaniel is now 13 months old. Here is a picture view into the past month with him.

Nathaniel has become more chatty. He is starting to form his sounds into actual words and is doing a great job of mirroring us when we say words or make noises, which has been really fun. His favorite things to say are weeeee and dada.

He has become more fearless this month. He insists on climbing on everything. He's strong and extremely strong willed and amazingly capable for his age. Both things will serve him well in the long run, but can be challenging at this age.

It's summer time, and we have been enjoying the warm weather, lots of sunshine, and getting outside as much as possible.. Nathaniel has had a lot of summertime firsts already.

Nathaniel got a chance to play with the water table for the first time.
