Dear Lissie,
Congrats on reaching double digits - you're getting so old! There were a lot of new experiences this month:
* You had your first Christmas!
* You learned how to crawl (well, sort of). You just needed a little food motivation to get there. We were convinced you were gonna skip this step altogether because you've always preferred being upright, but we'll take your little army crawl:
* You're enjoying more solid foods. Your favorites are macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, and Lolo's arroz caldo. Your least favorites are cut-up pears and cottage cheese. You've even learned to casually drop the food you don't like and give it to Rupert...and Rupert has found a new place to beg for food.
* You love to stand, and "cruise" along the furniture, and walk with your shopping cart. It looks like unassisted walking is just around the corner!
* You love to wave at everyone...and everything. A friend joked that it must take us forever to leave the house because you say goodbye to just about everything you see - the lamp, the remote, the light switch, etc.
* You've added another tooth to your tooth collection in your mouth, and another one is on the way! Most kids sprout their two top middle teeth after their bottom middles, but you skipped that and did the next two instead - so, yeah, you kind of look like a vampire. Too bad you don't open your mouth wide enough for me to get a good picture!
* You went to your first ever birthday party...which means that yours is just around the corner! We've already started planning your special day.
Wow, Lissie. We love seeing you grow and change every day...but, seriously, you can slow it down a bit.
Love,
Mommy
Here are a few more of my favorite pictures:
Yay, Daddy's home - let's get the weekend started!
You loved this toy at your friend's house. Maybe your Lola can get a similar one for your birthday...hint hint....
Your cupcake hat is already made for your cupcake-themed birthday party in a few months!
Your sad attempt at being fashionable. Jeggings, cloth diapers, and a missing shoe are not the best combo.
