Mommy's favorite moments: 

  • seeing you learn sign language
  • seeing you learn how to make new sounds - lately you have enjoyed putting your tongue on the roof of you mouth and biting your lip to make sounds
  • bath time - you love all your new bath toys!
Daddy's favorite moments:
  • watching you play with mamaw and papaw
  • Christmas morning
What happened this month:
  • first Christmas - we celebrate over several days and you loved opening gifts.  You would grab a piece of the paper that we loosened for you and shake the gift till the paper ripped off.  
  • first snow - we bundled you up on Christmas morning and took you out in the snow.  You didn't like the process of getting bundled up but you liked picking up the snow :)
  • mommy and daddy had their first date and you stayed with Nana and Pap Pap
  • you put yourself to sleep at night.  We decided you were expecting to be rocked to sleep and then would wake up as soon as we put you in your crib.  We chose 5 min and then 10 min and set the timer.  It only took about 3 or 4 nights before you were able to put yourself to sleep.  You know the routine and and often go right to sleep :)
  • you get up on your hands a knees and rock back and forth - you can move your hands but haven't figured out your knees yet :)
  • we started leaving you in the nursery at church - you don't like it so much
  • we had a get together with Nana's family
  • you sometimes can pull yourself up :)
  • you can sit up from your tummy :)
  • visited with mamaw and papaw and auntie D and uncle Jason :)
  • you love to smile and enjoy being out in public!
