At thirteen months Maylee's vocabulary is starting to explode. All of the sudden she went from saying no words, to saying a lot. Her vocab now consists of :

ball

Dutch

please (which she also signs)

cheese (for the camera)

Mama

Dada

Her little girl personality is really starting to shine. It's amazing how at such a young age girls and boys differ so much with out any encouragement. Maylee loves baby dolls, she carries them around with her and pats their backs. She loves to play with shoes. If I leave my flip flops within her reach she sticks her little arm through them and carries them around like a purse, speaking of which she loves purses. She doesn't actually have one but anything that has a strap that can be carried like a purse, Maylee is sure to be carry it around. Dutch has never really tried to put his shoes on or be interested in shoes, but I already find Maylee trying to put her shoes on. The funniest thing about a second child is how much quicker they catch on to everything from watching there older siblings. Maylee already folds her arms for prayer. We never even worked with her on that one, just one day she folded her arms and now she does it every single time. And Dutch just recently started the, oh so enjoyable stage of taking off his shoes and socks every time he gets in his car seat, which is really annoying when I have a ton of errands, with a ton of stops and I have to put his shoes on five different times, but the greatest part of it all is that Maylee rips her shoes off in the car now. Every time, just like Dutch. It took Dutch two and a half years to figure it out and Maylee is doing it at thirteen months.
