- What a difference a month makes! You are not only walking now, but almost running! It didn't take you long to figure it out! You took your first steps on your own about 1 week after your first birthday and haven't stopped since. Just recently though, you have started trying to run. You haven't mastered that yet, which has resulted in some pretty tough falls and a few bumps and bruises, but you'll figure it out in no time!
- You are wearing size 4 diapers and mostly 12 month clothes. However, you are quickly starting to fit in a lot of your 18 month outfits!
- You still take 2 naps a day...most days...
- You have started to eat "real" food now and don't care for the baby food I offer you anymore. You love anything with a lot of flavor in it and are getting better about picking up your food to feed yourself. You have also started drinking whole milk...no more formula! Where did my baby go?!
- You have 8 teeth that have fully come through and more are on the way! We got you your first tooth brush this month, and you love to try to brush your teeth like Mommy and Daddy.
- You are very talkative and we are starting to understand some of the words you say. You still know your animal noises, but have also learned "pool," "car," "rock." You also say "Uh-Oh" and have made that into a game. You will drop things just so you can say it. You are saying more and more everyday. You also can understand a lot of what we say to you. You can understand simple commands and will follow them most of the time and have learned what "no" means. You don't follow what we say all the time, but when you know you're not supposed to touch something, you look at the object, look at us, and make a serious face while shaking your head "no, no." Mommy and Daddy have to try really hard to keep a straight face to teach you that it is serious, but it's so hard because you are so sweet and cute when you do this!
- You love to go to the park. We try to go at least once a day. You love to climb all the way up to the top and explore. You have no fear and always want to see what the big kids are doing.
- You love to wave and clap. You will wave hello to everyone that you see and even random objects that catch your attention. If Mommy or Daddy have the TV on to a show and you hear people clapping, you will stop whatever you are doing and start clapping with them.
- You are so observant and are so smart! You still love to read all of your books and love taking them all off of the shelves to go through every one of them.
- At the end of this month, you went to Florida for the 1st time and LOVED it! You love the beach and the ocean which makes us excited that we will be living by the beach for the next 3 years. You couldn't get enough of the ocean and kept wanting to go in deeper, even when a wave crashed right over your head! We stayed at Memaw and Doc's house in Vero Beach and celebrated Easter in Florida.
