I'm 13 months!

Now that I'm 13 months old, I have basically mastered everything. I now know how to...

Hold my spoon:

Eat my applesauce:

But you should see me - I can really get after it:

Also, for those wondering, I can also:

Walk a step when I feel like it
Say: daddy, water, down, hello....All with my secret language (da-da, da-der, dow, doh)
Grab books to read (attention span = 11.5 seconds)
Feed Hudson
Manipulate my parents into letting me sleep in their bed
Help daddy clean my bum
Turn on the shower
Talk to Judah on the phone and use all of da-da's minutes
Help mom cook (you wanted that powdered sugar in the second bedroom right?)

Absorption

Evidence that we've officially entered the sponge phase:

Fouth of July

We celebrated Finn's second Fourth of July in Driggs with our friends Stefan and Jess and their daughter Greta. It was such a relief to escape the 101 degree temperatures of Salt Lake and get out for some stunning hikes on both sides of the Tetons. It seemed like we'd stepped back a season. The foliage was so lush and the wildflowers abundant. As always, we took a lot of photos. Alaska Basin and Death Canyon

Here are just a few of the many wildflowers we saw. Forget-me-nots, columbines, monument plant, etc... I'm not sure what this nodding purple flower is, or the yellow one below it. Any ideas?
