This is a few days late but this week has been a little crazy!
Some awesome things about Easton at 13 months mostly relate to communication.  It often feels like he is having conversations with us.  Pointing and sounds show us what he wants.  He is now finally getting to use the hand sign for "more" reliably.  
He also can now stomp his feet in a sitting position when we sing "if you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet."
Last night was a rough night and so I eventually brought Easton into bed and it could have been the sleep deprivation, but it was VERY clear that Easton was trying to sing twinkle twinkle little star.  Brian and I looked at each other and began to sing it for him at the same time.  So after this, it affirmed how clear it was that he was trying to sing this.
He is still nursing about three times a night and about three times a day.
He likes meat and grapes mostly but still doesn't prefer it to nursing.  Still isn't a big fan of milk but will drink it if he is thirsty.  
Walking is getting stronger but still only about 3 steps.  However, he is standing for longer periods of time.
He enjoys drawing on the chalkboard with Hadley.
He is in 18 month clothing and is happy most of the time.
