Dear McKenna,
Another month of happiness has come and gone! And yet... I’m still missing rent checks from you and your brother...
Aside from being late on payment, here’s what you’ve been up to this past month:
- You got your first tooth with the second cutting through
- You are rolling like crazy to get where you want to go and aren’t shy about grabbing things that are interesting to you... things like mommy’s glasses, mommy’s hair, mommy’s earrings...
- You have total street cred as the chill baby at daycare - keep it up as I’m sure it nets in extra play time and diaper changes
- Firsts: self-entertainment session with toys, bruise (you rolled into a cabinet at daycare and the cabinet won), holding the bottle by yourself
- You can: clap your hand on your leg, reach out to be picked up
- You love: playing with mail, watching Aladdin songs, your daddy, being tickled, sleeping on your tummy, and rough-housing with your brother
I worked hard to amp up your therapy needs this month...
- I sat you in a shopping cart...
- I walked out of the room.
- I made you go to bed when you were tired.
- Special guest therapy: your brother yelled at you through the wall, waking you up so that you could help him scream for the next 45 minutes...
And this month was a doozy in therapy for us:
- You got a stomach virus so severe I looked to see if our insurance policy would cover me accidentally-on-purpose burning the house down
- You gave me this same stomach virus...
- And then your daddy got it too...
You’re starting to get pretty mobile and it’s making me realize how fast this first year is going by - it’s fun to watch but also time slow down!
We love you little princess,
Mommy and Daddy
