At thirteen months Owen is 30 pounds and 33 inches tall - good thing he started walking a few days after this picture!
His new favorite thing is to throw his ball. We've seen a lot of this the last few weeks
Owen isn't saying too many new words, just dog, ball, bubbles, mamma. He does try to mimic us a lot and so will say things that sound very similar to words we just said. He babbles constantly and walks around the house talking to himself. He has started copying how I call the dogs. I make a "kissing" sound when I'm trying to get them to come into the house. Owen has stood at the front door several times yelling, "GOG, GOG" and making kissing sounds. It cracks me up :)
Owen's generally a happy boy, but he has started exerting his independence. The temper tantrums are happening more and more often when he doesn't get his way.

Just a few seconds later he was walking even farther.
By the end of the night he could go 10 to 12 feet. Within a week he was walking at least 50% of the time and within two weeks he's walking 90% of the time. He still walks with his hands up in the air - pretty funny. :-)
