Keila's 13 Month Update

     Here's what's been happing in little Billy Shatner's world since her first birthday:

1. We are still talking a TON, only some of it is now recognizable. Mama and Dada still of course, and she'll make a definite sound for 'no' while waving unwanted food away. I swear that the other day she said 'Ay-la' for Keila. Smart girl! We've been working on tapping our chests and saying 'Mama' and then 'Keila' for each respective person. So she now will tap her chest and say 'MAMA!' very proudly. Yeah, still working on that. However, when I say 'Where's Keila?' she will either point to herself or start playing peek-a-boo, so at least I'm pretty certain she knows her name!
2. We now have 12 teeth, 4 of which are molars. The 12th one is just peeking through, but it looks like we may have a break for a while before any more arrive. Hopefully!
3. Sleep. I would like some of it. Not much else to say there. Crib arrives next Monday, and let the sleep training begin!
4. On my birthday, Keila stood up unassisted for the first time! Go baby. Didn't do a whole lot else until yesterday, when she took her first assisted steps holding onto her big wheeled zebra. We'll see if she keeps that up; today there's been no interest whatsoever so I'm guessing she was just showing off for her friend who was visiting at the time.
5. Food. Ah, food. Seems like lately we've got 3 food groups in Keila's world:
      1. Food she doesn't like. 
       2. Food she likes but is allergic to (sesame, bananas, peanuts, and now pineapple as of yesterday) and 3. Pasta sauce and cream cheese.  Ok, so it's not as bad as all that, but I'm quite frustrated with the NHS at the moment, seeing as we have to wait until January for allergy testing. Pray that she doesn't react to anything else until then: yesterday's pineapple reaction involved projectile vomiting, swelling, and hives. Fun for all!
 6. I'm trying to think of new actions that Keila does, but none are coming to mind. She's gotten sooo mobile lately that it's hard to keep her sitting still long enough to learn new things. Oh, she will give me a kiss when I ask for one, however. Sweet baby!
 7. No idea what she weighs now, but she's heavy enough. So much so that my left foot is acting up from the combined baby weight/amount of daily walking. Definitely switching her over to the stroller full-time after we get back from vacation at the end of the month!
