Wow, the 13 month has brought a lot of changes into our life. To say he has mastered walking would be an understatement. In just a few weeks it went from a wobbly toddler to a quick little runner giggling as he ran away from his parents at every chance. With the good also comes the bad. A few more bumps and scrapes as Brayden can get up to speed fast, but stopping often involves tripping on toys that he has left around the house.
The not so fun development is the ability to throw tantrums. I thought it was supposed to be the terrible two's, who said anything about the terrible 13 month olds. Brayden knows what he wants, and if he doesn’t get it, will sit on the floor and lean forward and slam his head into the carpet. Luckily for him he hasn't tried to throw a tantrum on cement as I think it would be a quick lesson of how tantrums are not as fun as they may seem.
His additional independence has also changed our summer a lot from last year. A relaxing day at the lake where you lay him in a blanket and read has become a day where you’re lucky if you get to refill your drink as you chase after a giggly baby, scoop sand out of his mouth that he decided might taste good, and keep a steady supply of sippys and snacks as being a big boy walker takes a lot of energy.
