- You are a pointer... you point at everything still!
- You pull up still and walk around EVERYWHERE while holding at least one hand onto something for balance.
- You are a social BUG! You wave at everyone, smile with your two bottom teeth showing, and then point at them.
- You light up a room... you are a very happy and fun baby. When you throw a fit, we laugh because you are so dramatic and end up laughing at yourself, too.
- You love pretty much everything you have eaten.... Except mashed sweet potatoes and refried beans. You made an awful gag face because the texture was weird. You love all veggies, fruits, and baby "dinners". You have recently loved trying out lots of table foods. You love toast, brown rice with veggies, chicken and rice, and crackers with cheese. You are really good at using your little fingers to pick it all up and mostly make it in your mouth. You haven't quite got the "spoon feeding" yourself down, but it's fun to let you try. You also like mandarin oranges ( the cuties). You still get your breast milk/formula daily (usually 3-4 times a day). You are a pro at the sippy cup and drinking from a straw. This has made going out to eat much better since we just order you a kiddie cup of water.
- You sleep great! You take 2 naps a day, mostly 1.5-2 hours each, and sometimes a mini nap before bedtime. The gap from the second nap until bedtime sometimes gets ya. Anyway, your nightly routine is to eat dinner at the table with us, get your bottle, play hard, take a bath, and then read books and go to bed. You go to bed about 8ish every night. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. You always sleep until about 6:45-7. This morning you slept in until 8:00!
- You say a few words: mama, dada, oh yeah, bye, and dog. When you say bye, you yell BAAAY! It's pretty funny watching you wave and scream that!
- You still stay with Miss Julie every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. You love it there. Daddy keeps you Mondays, and your Mims keep you most Fridays. You are a pretty rotten little girl.
- You love to dance lately. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of music. The other day at church you heard your daddy singing and said, "Dada". :) Your dancing consists of nodding your head and swaying side to side until you fall down. There is this little dog that sings, " I've got you babe" that I got your daddy for V-day a long time ago... you love to dance to it!
- You still put everything in your mouth, and you still love your paci. We really only give it to you when you are sleeping, or on a car ride.
- You weigh about 23 pounds and are about 28-29 inches tall. We don't know exactly until we go to your 12 month appointment in March.
- You love Minnie Mouse! You are probably going to have that be your first birthday theme.
Here are some picture of you lately. We love you so much, and truly couldn't ask for a more perfect addition to our family. You bring us so much laughter and love! Love you punkin!
