Dear Jase,
FINALLY!!!
Now that you're earning your keep here's what else you've been up to this month:
- You know what "no" means... but apparently your Webster's dictionary defines it as "cool, let me do this some more"
- You are super independent and want to explore everything. It's been fun watching you figure things out... except you trying to take off your diaper - that terrifies me.
- Firsts: popsicle, fall off the couch, pancake, trip to the park, and artwork
- You can: walk with your toys, take your bib off, use a straw, help get your clothes on, and yank on what we thought was a very secure cord to disable the monitor.
- You love: teeth, pancakes, the movie Tarzan, balls, water, playing with blinds ,standing up, crawling over things, tug of war, and free rein to be on the move
Notes for your therapist:
- I wouldn't let you drink my coffee.
- We clipped your finger nails. Worse: we made you sit still to clip your finger nails.
- After unsuccessfully trying to get you to say "mama" without screaming I tried to get you to call me "Queen".
- I remembered your changing pad had a strap to hold you still - this displeased you greatly.
Our therapy (which we may be able to afford after I hire you out to clean houses):
- I had to work one Saturday, leaving you in your activity chair... this was the moment you decided to bust out your first "mama" while crying.
- You learned how to stand up in the tub - this means every bath is now a live battle with long range missile fire.
We can't believe you're going to be a year old soon! It feels like yesterday I was drafting up your eviction notice. It's been a challenging blast so far and we can't wait to see what you do this month (but seriously, leave the diaper on!).
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
