I meant to post this before we left for vacation, but it just didn't happen.... better late than never!
I am LOVING this age right now. Can we please stop time? It is just not OK that you will turn 1 year old in just 5 short weeks.
You have always been independent, but now that you are understanding "no" a little bit more and are less interested in fireplaces and light sockets we can take our eyes off of you for more than 5 seconds. You love to play by yourself (usually with books, balls, or trucks) and don't mind crawling off into a different room by yourself to play. You will play for 30 minutes on your own without even trying to look for us.
Of course, you are never really out of our sight :).
Two of your favorite things to play with are the bathroom scale and any type of doors. You love to open and shut doors over and over again.
If it has a hinge, you are all over it.
The past two weeks we have celebrated several firsts.
Your first Easter was lots of fun. You are still playing with your plastic eggs and basket!
But another first was NOT so fun. We took you for your first haircut his week. You are incredibly laid back about so many things -
loud noises? - You think they are funny
missed a nap? - You power on through
an entire day of errands in the car seat and stroller? - no big deal
strangers? You love them
So we didn't think one thing about getting a haircut.
You were just fine playing with the trains while waiting....
But it quickly went downhill. Not even the paci soothed you.
Pretty sad, huh? As soon as it was over you perked right up and were just fine though.
You were also busy with a few other activities...
Playing with Hadley.
Playing with Dada.
Shopping with Mom.
And birthday celebrating with Carter. (Which you did in style. Who says you can't wear pj's to a party?)
One of the things your Dada and you LOVE to do is play catch. You will really throw the ball back to him! It's pretty darn cute. In fact, you added a new word - BALL! It's no surprise really, because playing with a ball is one of your favorite activities.
He loves you so much and is so proud of you!
We love you.
Love,
Mom
