Exactly one year ago today, you stole my heart... All 9.4 lbs and 21.6 inches of you!!!! Today you have turned into a spunky little toddler! Not sure how tall you are or how much you weigh but I am confident the doctor will be happy with your growth spurt. You even feel heavier to me. You are wearing 12- 18 month clothes, size 3 shoes and size 4 diapers!
You are now saying a few words....the newest word is YES! However you still point and babble a lot for the things you want and sign the word More on a consistence basis. When you don't get things that you want or hear the word NO you will break into an instant cry and bury your face. At times it hard not to laugh but we refrain so we don't encourage you! You are very smart! You point to most of you body parts on command such as your head, eyes, ears, hair, belly, fingers, hands, feet, and toes!
You are a good eater ...You also love to put food on the floor or feed the dogs! You are eating 3 meals a day (table food) with cups of juice and whole milk. Just last night Mommy stopped the bedtime feed, and you didn't even miss it because you love your cup of milk instead. I think the breast feeding weaning has been harder on Mommy than you! It sure was a special time of bonding between the two of you!!!! Mommy feels blessed that she was able to breast feed you for a whole year!!!!
Your favorite new skills are practice walking (4-5 steps unaided), climbing up and down the stairs and taking things out of drawers and then putting them back in again.
One thing that Mommy and Daddy miss is their good little sleeper. For the past two months you have regressed in your sleeping pattern. You now wake several times a night vs. sleeping 10-12 hours straight. At first we thought it was your teeth....now we don't know what to think! :-(
Looking forward to what next month brings.... Love you with all my heart!
