We can hardly believe it's been 8 months since the first day we met you. Since then, we've had a lot of learning and growing for all of us. I feel like you are doing something new every day. Here are my favorite highlights of this month:
- You LOVE saying da-da and ma-am and can associate those words with your mom and dad now!
-You like to mimic us. It's fun because there are so many fun things to teach you!
- We are trying to get you to wave. I know you are attempting it quite often but everything kind of looks like you are shaking your arm and usually winds up with you clapping. But you have managed it several times.
- You still love the bath. You love your cups and whale and you love using them for splashing which is your favorite thing! The latter usually ends bath time prematurely.
- Mom brushes your two little teeth at night and you LOVE it. We think your top chompers are starting to make their debut.
- You adore small children. Any time you see a small child, you wig out with hopping and squeals until they give you attention and then you try to grab them...
- You are actually an amazing sleeper and don't hardly ever wake up which his a dream come true! We bought a porta crib so you weren't sleeping in our room anymore and that 30 bucks was the best investment!
- As far as crawling goes, you are kind of a menace now! You can crawl and climb on things and our tiny apartment isn't ready for that! It is fun to watch you explore though!
- The things that make you happiest are the park, soccer balls, walks, daddy or mommy coming home and FOOD!
- You love mirrors and give yourself a lot of slobbery kisses any time you get a glimpse of your reflection.
- Speaking of kisses, they are hard to come by with you (unless you are kissing your own reflection). We ask you for kisses and we are hardly ever successful, but if by chance we get one, your smooches tend to be especially juicy. They are best when given on the cheek :)
- If we are running errands or just out and about, people love to comment on how happy/chill you are, and that you look just like a doll.
- You are not a performer. You have to warm up to people before you start busting out any tricks. Maybe you are a bit shy at heart? We'll see, I guess.
- The other big thing is that you got your helmet this month! You are as cute as ever and it doesn't even bother you now!
You are such a happy and good-natured baby. We thank Heavenly Father every day for sending you to our home!
