One.One Year

 1.1 Year

  • We celebrated Halloween this month. Maggie convinced me to get you a kangaroo costume with you being our little Joey. I was nervous that you were just going to rip the whole thing off in two minutes, but you ended up really liking it. It kept you warm while we went out that night to trick o treat. 
  • You are standing so much this month. When Mille first told me that you stood up, I didn't believe her because she treats everything you do like it is a major milestone. Then later that night, you were holding onto my leg when you let go and straighten up. Since then, you have stand up so many times. You love sitting on the step down in the livingroom and going and down with sitting. 
  • Dad and I have been working on getting you to walk, so we started the chocolate chip game with you. We will pass you back and forth (really it is holding onto our finger and then you falling into the other's lap). You get a chocolate chip for trying. You love the game. Your big siblings will get involved and try to play with you.
  • You have been going back to waking up around 5/5:30 each morning to have a bottle of milk and then you will go back to sleep. It's not my favorite thing. I don't know what to do to get you back to sleeping through the night. Naps are hard, because days you want to go down for a nap around 10 but then you will have a hard time going for a second. I don't really know how to schedule my day, so good thing most things are canceled with COVID so we can have flexible days.
  • You are still a big mess maker. You rarely play with toys. You do love exploring places and pulling things out of drawers. You keep getting into my side table and pulling out the Christmas cards. A few people will end up with crumpled photos.
