You started walking on February 21st and you have not stopped since. Your first real steps were between Dada and I in our living room. You went back and forth about 10 times before you got tired. Now you are off and running. You like walking around our neighborhood. The first few times we did this, you held onto my finger and we walked together but quickly you decided you wanted to try this whole thing out on your own. Now, you won't be seen holding anyone's hand. You also mainly like to walk directly into the middle of the street and you get furious if we try to keep you on the sidewalk. You collect the tops of acorns and try to fit as many as possible in your tiny little mitts.
You can say: up, dada, mama (baba), dog (da), woof (ooff), neigh, ball (ba).
You love airplanes and point at the sky whenever you hear one.
You love taking everything out of the drawers in the bathroom and spreading it around on the floor. Same goes for the kitchen...
You don't really love any food right now other than blackberries (which you can cram in your month at an alarming rate), but you will tolerate hot dogs and macaroni and cheese.
You hate having your diaper changed. This is a daily battle that usually ends with me chasing you around and trying to stick a diaper on a moving target.
You sleep pretty well at night these days; from around 8 pm till 6 am on a good day. You sleep in your crib with your Elmo stuffed animal that Dada bought you at the gift shop at his hospital.
Speaking of our favorite red monster, you love Sesame Street. You stomp your feet and dance whenever we put it on the tv.
We love you so much. We must give you 100s of kisses everyday. And now you can give them back. You like to give smooches to us, the dogs and sometimes the walls. You also give great hugs and are my little cuddle bug.
