Alby 13 months

Alby's getting close to walking - he stands independently for 20 - 30 seconds at a time and he has taken 1 - 2 steps at a time. He LOVES practicing walking by pushing his cart around (and laughing his head off). He is very into saying "hi" right now. He likes to pick up anything that could be a phone, hold it to his ear, and then say "hi hi hi hi." He also can't stand it if we're out and he sees someone and they don't give him any attention. He flings his arm out toward them, waves, and says hi hi hi until they notice him. Other words are on the horizon; We were playing with a stuffed dog today and I was saying "woof woof woof" and he copied me and said "woo woo woo," which was pretty close!!
