January 13th you took your first steps!!!!! You started walking!!!! Can you tell we are excited??:) I shed a few tears, but I am so proud of you! You fell down, but got right back up and tried again!
You have started clapping now to music, when you get excited, or just for no reason at all! It is the cutest thing in the world. Did I mention music yet? You LOVE music so much! You love all kinds of music as long as it has a great beat that you can bounce too! You can bounce up and down, clap your hands, and shake your head side to side. Baby girl, there is nothing like it when we all dance together in the living room. Those are absolutely some of my most favorite nights in the world. We also got to experience your first snow day! Well, it was a lot more ice than snow, but it was still a lot of fun. We dressed you up very warm and took you outside. Your eyes were full of wonder as you walked around in the snow. Daddy brought your Minnie Mouse Ride outside and you had a blast with that! We couldn't stay out in the snow very long because it was so cold!
Mommy got really sick this month with a horrible stomach bug! It put me out for a few days and thankfully Nana came to help us. You stayed healthy and strong. The following week daddy got sick with the horrible stomach virus. I kept you away for a few days and you remained healthy. The worst part, is that I got it AGAIN a couple days later! Through all of this, you remained healthy and happy!
Usually, you put yourself to sleep with minimal fussing. You fall asleep like a champ! You sleep all through the night until about 830 in the morning now. You are down to one nap a day from about 12-2:30. Sometimes you nap up to three and a half hours when you have played really hard that morning. On occassion, you will let me rock you to sleep like I used to do. It brings me so much joy to hold you and kiss your forehead. You are so big now in my arms. Your legs hang off of me and it makes me so sad to see you growing so fast. Time is flying by and I wish it would slow down. Your daddy and I soak up every moment possible with you.
You enjoy pulling everything out of the cabinets, dumping out all of your toys, and following me around when I vacuum and sweep. You enjoy us reading to you every night. If we are sitting up on the couch then you want to be up there with us. If we are eating, then you want to be eating our food. We don't mind one bit because it's exciting watching you try so many new foods.
When you turned 11 months old, we celebrated by going to get you your first Chick Fil A kids meal! Words can't describe how much you loved it. You ate all four chicken nuggets cut up and a few french fries. You also drank your milk out of a straw. Can you say BIG GIRL? Seriously, slow down. :) You have four top teeth and two bottom teeth. Some of your favorite foods are: peas, squash, sweet potatoe, grilled cheese sandwiches, yogurt, broccoli, lima beans, and ham.
Soon you will be a year old and we cannot wait to see what the next month will bring! We love you to the moon and back baby girl!
