Here's what's new:
- You love to eat! Your favorite part is when you can pick up the food yourself. You like your baby food but finger food is what makes you smile. You are still eating fruit and oatmeal in the morning; veggies and rice for lunch and now a meal type food for supper.
- You always hold your own bottle now. You prefer it that way so you can put it in and out as you please.
- You still aren't good with your sippy cup, but I think it is mom and dad's fault because we haven't been very good about giving it to you.
- Still just have your two bottom teeth.
- You have learned SO many new tricks:
- You clap
- You put your hand over your mouth and say 'oh, oh, oh, oh'
- Make a clicking noise
- You can pull yourself up to standing all by yourself
- You are getting good at taking steps
- You are a very fast crawler now
- You wave all the time 'hi'/'bye'
- You like giving hugs -- SO cute!
- And your favorite of all... giving hi 5's. You love it and it makes you giggle when mom gets excited over them
- I'm pretty sure I've heard you say "Ziggy" multiple times now. You love Ziggy! You like to give him treats and bones, crawl after him where ever he goes and give him hugs. He loves to give you kisses.
- You've had a few nights this month that you have slept through the night... it's been awesome!
- You had your first 4 days alone with dad while mom was on a work trip. Dad said you were better when mom wasn't around. I think it was mostly because you didn't do your screaming when mom leaves the room (lucky dad).
- You had your first bad diaper rash. Yuck!
- You know the word 'no' but you still do what you want anyway.
- Your favorite toys are any kind of balls and getting pushed on your roller coaster car.
- You love to take all your toys out of the basket and just leave them on the floor - not play with them, just take them out.
- You also love to drop things. You drop everything... then you have to go look for it and try to reach to get it.
- You are wearing clothes up to 12 months and size 3 diapers still.
- Da Da is still your favorite word.
- We can't imagine our life without you. You like things your way, are naughty on purpose and love to scream but we wouldn't have you any other way. Your smile lights up a room and your personality is all your own.
