13 Months Old

Here's a link to a quick video showing what Finley is up to at 13 months old. Click here. Finley can wave, shake hands, point (with his whole hand, not one finger), shake his head no, and loves to clap all the time. He can also follow some commands, if he's in the mood to be compliant, such as "Give Mommy the block," or "Throw the ball to Daddy."

Finley gets up and down from standing quickly and easily now, without holding on to anything. He just walks around the apartment like he owns the place! He can stop, go, and turn around as he pleases. Finley currently loves to carry around his wooden blocks, one in each hand and one in his mouth, and throw them down on the wood floor. (I'm sure our downstairs neighbors appreciate this.) He also enjoys looking under furniture for toys, crumbs, etc. In fact, he purposefully tries to throw toys under the furniture just so he has an excuse to wedge himself under there to get it!
