It's like it happened all of a sudden. One day you were a baby - babbling, crawling {or shuffling} and needing assistance in all aspects of your life - and then the next, you were an actual person - talking, pulling yourself up to a standing position and cruising along furniture, and climbing up on benches where you now prefer to eat your meals {no more high chairs for you!}.
Okay, you were always an actual person but all these things happened within a week and it made me miss my little baby! But it also made me extremely proud that my baby was growing up.
No more high chairs! |
Within the last week, you've started saying the names of all your cousins {clearly} and you're also getting more confident on your feet. You're probably not aware, but you can stand with only one hand on something to support you - a definitely sign you're almost ready to take off on your own! Your uncle James is still "BAAAA" to you and you've been saying "mama" and "dada" for as long as I can remember. Every time you say your brother's name, you say it in a soft, quiet tone and when you say your sister's name, it's high-pitched and loud. Just writing about this is making me smile.
And because you've been hitting all of your milestones one after the other, we have a feeling that you'll be walking by the time you're 18 months but I'm secretly hoping that you'll hold off until we get back from our Vegas trip. That's right baby - we're taking you to VEGAS!! Can't wait to see how you'll do on your first plane ride {I am a little nervous}!
Love,
Mommy
