You still sleep very good - morning and afternoon nap and around 12 hours at night. You love all kinds of food...you are not picky at all. You love your veggies almost as much as a cookie, believe it or not! We switched you over to whole milk in a sippy cup with relative ease. You didn't have much to do with milk for the first 3 weeks and then one day, you just started chugging away. You love water too. Here are some more highlights from this month with you:
Like I said above, you say "hi" and "bye" to everyone! Especially when we leave the house and other people are there. And you are very, very loud when you are talking too!
You can whistle. You blow in and out with your mouth in an "O". And when you suck in, you make a whistle noise. So cute.
We just discovered that you love to blow bubbles!
You love to go outside. In fact, we can't even say "outside" anymore because you go crazy when we say it! We are starting to have to spell stuff out instead.
Speaking of spelling everything, you understand EVERYTHING we say...it's like all of a sudden, you get everything I say to you. Stuff like, "put your cup on the tray", "stand up", "where's your toy?"...you understand it all!
You are not walking yet...but it is coming very soon. You are cruising around things and have even stood up for several seconds on your own. We just bought you a little walker toy and can walk when you hold that...so the real thing is coming soon!
You are a bit impatient. I know it's the age, so I'm not worried about it. You just want what you want and if Mommy or someone else doesn't get it or take you over to it....or if you can't hold on to it like you want....or whatever it is....Miss Impatient comes out big time! You are still a screamer when it comes to the impatience thing! It's really your only negative though! We are working on the word "wait." =)
You are also Curious Avery. Whew! Everything is "What's this?" "What's that? "Who's this?" And you point to whatever it is that you are curious about. And then, Miss Impatient comes out if you don't get your way.
Pa, Mimi, Aunt Nikki, Uncle Ryan, Kiara and Vera all visiting over Christmas and New Year's. You loved having them here! Your Mimi takes awesome care of you and you love her for it. Pa is your buddy that you love to play with. You have a little pointing thing with him that you like to do. So cute. Aunt Nikki can't get enough of your cheeks...and she taught you how to blow bubbles! Uncle Ryan really loves you too...he can make you smile for sure. And Kiara - she loves you to pieces! She loved to chase you around and "get you"...and you would crawl away and laugh so hard. Vera is your favorite though...but she didn't really want much to do with you unfortunately...she's just at that age where she wants to be the baby and doesn't like it that you are. =) You would light up when she came around! And smack your lips because you wanted kisses from her! Soon...she will give you love right back, I promise!
We all got sick this past month too...and we are slowly getting over it (I hope). Megan had a cold, then Mommy did...then you...then Kyndall. But it has stuck around in the form of thick snot still in our noses...so I'm hoping this all goes away soon!
You really are a huge mimic at this point. We have to REALLY make if we are saying something out loud that it may get repeated and we are okay with that. =)
You love to be funny. In fact, if I ask you if you are funny, you give a little laugh. Or if you realize that something you did got you a lot of laughs, you will keep doing it over and over.
I know there is so much more, but that is all I can think of right now. It's like you really took off this month with developing into a cute little person. You grew with your development so much! Here are some of my favorite pictures from this month!
