I love this age when you are doing so many new things every day. In the past few weeks, you:
-learned how to say nai nai (milk).
-walked into the kitchen while I was making smoothies, pushed me back away from the counter and raised your arms to tell me that you wanted me to pick you up.
-have been so cute in your gym class. You love going down the slide and are so good about cleaning up the balls and rattles when the teacher says it's time to put them away. You immediately start picking up all the toys and follow the teacher around so you can put them in her bag. One time, a boy was sitting on top of a ball during clean-up time and you stared at him and pointed at the ball, as if to say, "Um, hey, I need that now."
-have been sleeping for longer stretches at night after I put a sound machine in your room. One night, you slept in your crib from 9pm-6am! Gah! Why didn't I think of getting you a sound machine sooner?!
-started saying "woof" when you see a dog.
-have continued to eat well. You love broccoli (yay!) and when you see me with something you want to eat, you ask for it by going, "Mamamamamamama."
-covered your mouth and gasped when you dropped a (luckily, plastic) bowl. So cute!
-have been pumping your feet in the air really fast whenever I pick up up and say, "Run run run run run!"
-have been immediately reaching for my hand and holding it while I rinse your head during your baths.
-have been grabbing your nanny's hand and pulling her toward the play attic as soon as she comes through the front door in the mornings.
-hugged JieJie when she hurt her knee in the study one day and patted her on the back when she was feeling sad one time.
-sang along (kind of) to the ABC song.
-have started squealing with excitement when GuhGaw and JieJie come home from school.
-were sitting on your toy drum and looking so cute. I ran to grab my camera but you had already stood up by the time I got back to your room. When I said I'd wanted to take a picture, you, totally on your own, walked back over to the drum, sat down and posed for a photo. Click!
My cutie!
Love,
Mom
