1 – My first sitting with Santa: in 20 degree weather, my 20 second visit was not long enough to warm up to the strange, fat, funny laughing me, but I didn’t object, so the moment was captured!
2 - I am "over" crawling (why bother when you can stand?) but it does get me to fun things that I can pull up on so I can see around better. The ottoman on the carpet is great. Small tables on hardwood floors are not. I will learn, likely the hard way.
3 - The Johnny Jumper (aka "Bobby Bouncer") is suddenly the greatest entertainment in the house. M&D fear for the door frame, but they don't care b/c my smile is SOOOO big and my cackle is SOOOO infectious!
4 - Lips are so neat!!! They move when Mom and Dad talk! I must get them now, preferably with my own lips!
5 - My hands can fold and wave---whoa!---and my tongue is busy. The sounds I make are really my own words....you just don't understand them yet....I even try to get lots of air in so I can talk in sentences like you do.
6 – Every time I woke up from a nap, there were new people there to meet me or greet me again. I really concentrated on who they were so I will remember them the next time I see them.
7 - Eating real pears is hard with only 6 teeth.....but I do work on it like I should.
8 - I like Dad's 3rd grade teacher, Stella! She MAY just think I am better than my Dad!!
9 - A plastic water bottle makes a great toy....it crackles...it is smooth and bumpy....and if there is water in it it is "wobbly".
10 – On Harry’s cue of the “the angels proclaimed…”, I shouted out in joy for the whole church to hear!
11 - The next time I am at Grandma's for Christmas I want to see the lights on 34th street.....I was just too tired to enjoy it this year.
12 - My legs have not stopped moving in, well, since about November or so...pick me up and I "swim" them like a frog. Otherwise, I'm off! (But I will stop to cuddle, especially if you talk in my ear and give me neck kisses.)
I have no idea that I am only 9 months old...I play with legos with my 4-12-yr-old cousins like I am their age. I am really maturing faster than M&D like. Dad left the room the other day and warned me not to turn 5 while he was gone!
