Hi honey,
Boy have we been busy lately! Between working in our big grown up world and spending every possible extra moment play, cuddling, discovering, feeding, bathing and chasing after you...not much extra time left for writing your letters. We've taken tons of pictures and a few short videos of you to keep up with all of your antics and accomplishments.
You are now almost 14 months old! I can hardly believe that your entire first year has come and gone already. You have learned so much in this short time. You are incredibly smart and your curosity is endless!
You learned how to crawl and quickly moved on to standing and then walking...now running! You hardly ever fall anymore!
You are beginning to learn how to climb up the stairs but going down is much scarier.
You can eat grown up foods (except no small hard foods like candy or nuts and no popcorn)...you even insist on feeding yourself almost all of the time!
You are using a fork but Momma or Dada have to load the fork with food for you...spoons are a little too messy right now though!
You have already mastered your sippy cups and you gave no fits whatsoever about saying bye bye to your bottle!
Your favorite foods are fruit, especially blueberries, mangos, bananas and strawberries. You also scream for American cheese slices! You eat almost everything we give you and your are doing great with your veggies too. I'm pretty sure your least favorite foods are beans and rice, you make the silliest faces when you eat theses...but sometimes you still eat a few spoonfuls willingly. You are a very good eater!
You know several "tricks" - you can wave "bye-bye", blow kissies, clap and high five!
If we are lucky enough you'll give a big, soggy, open mouth kissy right on the cheek (but if we aren't careful, you sink those little teeth right in too)! You've actually gotten notes sent home from day care for biting your friends
You are by far the best dancer I've ever seen! You love rock n roll and you kinda like Notorious BIG...don't look him up though...he doesn't sing very nice songs. However, your all time favorite song is the puppy song that your little fire truck toy sings to you. Whenever you hear its song you stop what you are doing a just break down and dance right then and there!
Your Dada and Momma are so proud of you!
Love,
Momma
