1 Year and 7 Months

Today, we went to the Doctor to have your shots and you only cried a little. The receptionist said that you didn't grow any taller or weigh any different but mommy and daddy didn't believe her so we measured your height here at home and you actually grew an inch taller from a month before! You are now 2ft and 11inches tall. My baby giant! You walk and run and laugh so much everyday. We had the carpenter put up the fence for the stairs so we can let you loose here on the 3rd floor.

You still love Ernie the most and you've started to copy Barney's actions when he sings his songs and you especially love it when you wash your hands and play with the water. You ask mommy to sing itsie bitsie spider everyday and you were able to copy me in a day. You've added a few more letters to the alphabet like N, E, S, H, K, O. And you've started to put 2 or 3 words together already. Its getting easier and easier to understand what you're trying to say and at the same time harder too because you learn so many words from so many people so fast we cannot keep up.

You know how to bob your head when music is playing and sometimes dance round and round when Barney is dancing. Its so easy to make you laugh, everytime I hear your laughter my heart jsut wants to explode. You have the most wonderful smile my little bear. I hope I can keep you this way forever :)
