Although I'd been told countless times, I did not truly understand how fast time flies! There is NO WAY that in one short month my precious peanut will be 1!!! If I could stop time I would. You continue to keep up busy. Here's what we've been up to this month:
- You eat like a champ. Your daddy and I joke that you are going to eat us out of house and home. You continue to eat whatever we put in front of you. At this point you are following in daddy's footsteps as you are quite the adventurous eater. You want whatever it is Daddy and I are eating so you've had chorizo (which you ate an ENTIRE bowl full of!), hamburger, and spicy salami.
- My love of hot food has rubbed off on you as well. We had macaroni and cheese for Christmas that had cayenne pepper in it. Everyone was blown away as you ate an entire helping, never seeming to notice the heat.
- You have started on whole milk as well. You are a BIG fan!
- My new favorite is morning snuggles. After about 6 weeks you decided you were not acuddler but over the last month that has really changed. After you eat in the morning you like to snuggle for awhile. I'm assuming this phase will pass so I'm soaking up every last minute with you!
- You continue to experience some separation anxiety. I think everyone we go to church with are most disappointed by this. You no longer allow just anyone to hold you if you can see me. I worked in the nursery a couple of weeks ago and held another baby. You made it incredibly clear that I'm your Mommy and it's not acceptable for me to hold anyone else in your presence.
- Even though you prefer Daddy or I to hold you, you are still a people person. We've had lots of people at the house recently and you do not like going to sleep if you know people are here.
- Although you still prefer 3 naps a day, you can get by with only 2. You sleep for incredibly long stretches at night, sometimes even 12-13 hours. Again, you are Daddy's girl and you LOVE your sleep.
- You love to pull up on things and then let go to see what happens. You think it's hilariouswhen you fall down and sometimes do it repeatedly.
- You "walk" around furniture and proudly smile at us the entire time.
- You also love to stand. You can't stay up for very long and every time that you do you giggle uncontroably. It's pretty cute!
- One of your new favorite activities is to feed Moose. You love to drop food for him from your high chair and you get really upset when I tell you not to do it. Moose is one of your favorite pals and you have gotten really good at petting him. I know he is really glad that you have gotten past the ear pulling phase!
Peanut,
It seems like you are growing and changing every day. You continue to be more and more fun as you become increasing interactive. I love our trips to the grocery store. You sit in the cart and "talk" to me the entire time that I shop. We are frequently stopped because you smile at everyone. One of my favorite things is to watch people smile at you as we walk by. I love that at only 11 months you already bring joy to those around you. It's a privilege to be your Mommy and I treasure all of my sweet memories with you in my heart.
We love you dearly!
Mommy and Daddy
