At 13 months, ate Gwen is more active than usual. She is 'bibo' and funny most of the times. Here are some of the things that she can do at this stage.

* She can identify people. She knows who her tatay and nanay, wawa, ninang, lola nanay, lola Butchay, ate Jen, ate Lea, tita Ellen and all her playmates.
* She can also 'point' at the light, the moon, her nose, tatay's car, the neighbors' dogs, flowers and even SM.
* She borrows an animal book from her wawa and she can find the page where there are dinosaurs and pandas.
* She can do the actions of I have 2 hands, she can 'patay-lamok', 'pagpag kamay', give anything that you want her to get.
* She can walk really fast but she can't run yet.
* She has been practicing on how to jump.
* She can climb a couple of steps but she is still afraid to go down. She is really an  all natural fat burner at present.

Physically, she had grown bigger but she still weighs around 9.0 to 9.5 kilos.
* She prefers to drink water on the cup rather than on her sippy cup or feeding bottle.
* She prefers to eat on her own, hold her own spoon and fork rather than being fed.
* She wants independence at this early stage.

Another thing that we love about her, she is so malambing. In the morning, when is wakes up, she would wake her tatay too. She'd call him 'tatay' and would shake him until he speaks.

Time really flies. I wish we could spend more time with her but with ading Annie arriving very soon. We just have to give her the quality time that we can give her now.
