carter brian,
here we are...one month passed one! you continue to grow and change daily, and make us smile like nothing else in the world.
you...
...wear mostly 9 month size clothes still, but fit nicely into 12 month size t-shirts.
...rarely wear socks or shoes, mostly because everything mommy's read says that the best thing for you to wear while learning to walk is nothing, and also because it irritates your eczema.
...sleep like a champ at night and nap twice a day. the afternoon nap has been weird for the last few weeks, but i think you're getting back into the routine of things.
...say "mama", "dada", "dog", "duck" and "papa" all pretty consistently!
...point at.every.thing.!! especially at squirrels on our walks. :) we asked at your 12 month well visit if it was cause for concern that you weren't actually pointing with a point, just pointing with an open hand. dr thole looked as us like we were crazy, and two weeks later, you're a pro!
...pooped in the tub! (mommy didn't get any pictures of that. daddy was a little freaked when it happened.) but the second time (shown here), daddy caught it in time and all the poop went in the potty! :)
...are getting more and more confident on your feet, but still not standing alone for that long of time periods. you do best when you are distracted and don't realize you are standing. :) you are practicing a lot in your crib, though--cruising around and doing downward dog. but you're still quite a ways off from walking, i think.
...sign "all done" like a pro! mommy's toying with the idea of introducing more signs, but we'll see. :)
...attempt to say more--vocalizing more sounds and understand MANY words. your new trick this month is sticking your tongue out whenever we say "tongue". :) even if we read it in a book and you are sucking your thumb, you stick out your tongue!
...eat TABLE FOOD!! you've had pepsi pot roast, baked ziti, crazy turkey, beer can chicken AND yellow rice and chicken in the last few weeks! garlic bread is still one of your faves, as is grilled cheese! you are definitely cut from the heisserer and zoodsma cloth!
...get FRUSTRATED and FUSS FUSS FUSS! it is funny at times, but mostly irritating. we are working hard on requiring you to ask for help/use your words (basically, just some calm babbles) before we do whatever it is you want us to do/fix for you.
...still LOVE books! and are really into musical toys and your snail shape sorter and shape toolbox. you also LOVE getting the cordless phone from daddy's office. you carry it around the house pressing buttons. it's a good thing it isn't connected to anything!
...L.O.V.E. the water! beach...bathtime...the pool. we MUST get you a water table for the patio!
...............{at gma&gpa z's}....................(at fort desoto)...................{at aunt cheri's}...............
...know some body parts and can point to them on mommy or daddy.
...go back and forth between independent and clingy numerous times a day. i think you want to be held a lot of times just so you can see what we are doing (like if mommy's in the kitchen cutting vegetables for dinner, you want to be RIGHT THERE watching her cut vegetables for dinner!).
...have (at least) 9 teeth! which reminds me, i need to fish around back there and see if any other ones popped up, as you have been teething for sure, lately!
...help mommy dress and undress you.
...know how to use a brush, toothbrush and phone correctly, but daddy says sometimes you try to brush your teeth with your hairbrush instead of the toothbrush. ;)
...are in need of another haircut
...and...
...are moderately addicted to "goodnight gorilla". you see it and it's all you want and say "gah" "gah" "gah" over and over!
