margo: thirteen months

I don't know how long I'm supposed to keep up with these monthly Margo posts, but here we are and now we have a 13 month old! It's crazy to think that at this time last year we had a one month old baby and everything was new and overwhelming. Not that much has changed except the tiny babe is now a big, crawling, chatting, curious, almost toddler. We love her to pieces and cannot imagine life without her.

Margo has been teething up a storm lately and has both maxillary and mandibular central incisors and partially erupted mandibular lateral incisors. She's a slobbery mess, but still pretty content to play and explore. She is getting more and more proficient at climbing and pushing her walker. She has also discovered that the cabinets open and she can crawl inside to play and "hide".

Her routine is mostly the same with the exception of nursing, I dropped her last morning feeding on March 5th and neither of us has looked back. Sometimes I miss the extra cuddles and goofy milk drunk smiles, but now I have a little more freedom to sleep in (hallelujah!) and let Alex get up with her. She is also not taking as long of a morning nap, her day usually consists of waking up between 7:30-8, breakfast & play, nap from 9:45ish or 10-11am, lunch at noon, nap from 1-3 or 3:30pm, dinner at 5pm and straight to bed at 7pm.

Margo is so fun right now and we are loving (almost) every minute of her in this stage. As excited as we are for her to learn to walk, it seems a little scary so we're not rushing it 😬
