My momma is waaayyyy behind in updating you about my latest antics. She had a full plate in January and didn’t get to write about what I’ve been up to since I turned 11 months old, and now I’m only 2 days shy of turning 13 months. She’s got lots to write about ‘cause I’ve been up to lots. Folks, I have my momma on her toes! It’s funny to see her run after me. I think she’s silly. So since Momma hasn’t written, I thought I’d give you the low-down on the big stuff I’ve been up to and what I’ve been learning since I was eleven months. ‘Cause I’m a big boy now, ya know?!
i love reading bos (momma calls them books). love, love, love!
da is my bestest buddy (that would be the dog).
i cry when da da leaves for work to bring home the bacons.
mama, mama is my back up word for everything.
wa do gets my food taken away (all done). i even help pick up the food on my tray to put it on the plate, as well as my sippy cups ‘cause they fit on my plate, too.
it’s fun to put items from the big basket onto the moving belt at the grocery store. i impressed momma one day when i did that.
i know how to sign “toys away” and the big people cheer for me when i put them away, so i do.
i like helping close doors.
sometimes i sign “please” and “thank you”. and when i feel like it, i actually try saying it. momma is always saying those words. she sounds like a parrot.
i astound mommy with my energy level.
i got nine tooths now.
couple weeks ago, momma enjoyed holding me for each of my afternoon naps. i loved it. now i want her for every afternoon nap. she’s trying hard to fix that though. poor me.
but momma’s blessed: i still take two naps! she thinks they could be longer though because i like rising when the rooster crows after sleeping 10 hours.
stacking blocks is fun. knocking them down is even funner.
bananas are still my favorite, and i can throw down some food. mommy and daddy call me a “trooper” or a “jewel” because i’m good to take out to eat. since walking, sometimes when i’m done though, i’m done. Done.
i is a walking machine. forget crawling. crawling is for babies. i’m a big boy.
i’m learning how to obey daddy and mommy. i’ve learned pretty well “no touch”.
sharing food with ma is fun (molly).
i think bigger kids than me rock! i greet other kids with a pat and a smile.
give me time in a new place to feel safe. then, i’m a full-blown ham.
chase is my favorite game. at the park, i like the slide and swings.
momma says i pick up on things quick. i’m a quick boy on my feet, too.
if you want a kiss, ask for it, and i’ll give it. open mouthed.
riding in the car face forward is awesome!
i got some cool noise tricks with my tongue. i’ll show you sometime.
i’m a music man.
i may not say them yet, but i know lots of words and know when it’s time for things, like lunch.
four. four hair trims since i was born. and about to have another one. momma tells me that God knows how many hairs are on my head. lots! and lots!
i is a sweet boy. i love lovies.
monkey, sugar bear, angel boy, cotton-headed ninny mungin are my nicknames.
i no longer get a bottle at night. mommy can’t bear to stop giving me a morning one. soon, but not yet.
sometimes i think whining or screaming will help me get my way. the big people are out to prove me wrong.
i think da da is the coolest and run to him first thing when he gets home. momma tries not to be jealous.
momma is silly. she dances, sings in the car, she tries so hard to make me laugh. we have some special times laughing, like when i try picking her nose when she’s rocking me. that makes us laugh.
i pick up sticks at the park just to give to molly.
my most favorite times are when all of us are playing on the floor together: da da, ma ma, ma, and me
Momma loves you, oh, what does she call you? Oh ya, Internet peeps. She loves ya lots. Which makes me love you, too. Happy Valentine’s Day. We send hugs. And I send open-mouthed kisses. <grin>
