I’m 10 months old today…that means my birthday is only 2 months away! We’ll have to do something really fun to celebrate. I’ve had a really busy year. Mommy says I won’t remember it, but it’s been amazing. You want to know how amazing I am? Okay I guess I’ll tell you!

I LOVE to stand up. Why lie down or even crawl when you can stand up like a big boy!? I pull up on anything and everything all day, and even all night long if I remember to. Nothing is as cool as standing. I think I’ll hold off on walking for a while…too scary.

Food rules. Eating is my other favorite pastime. Only don’t give me anything with meat. No, I’m not a hippie or anything; meat just doesn’t taste very good. Bring on the veggies, fruit, or the occasional unidentified morsel I find on the kitchen floor.

I weigh 25 pounds, and am over 30 inches long. Do you know how big that is!?

I can say “dada”. Mommy, you’ll have to wait a little longer to hear your name. Right now it’s too fun to see Daddies reaction when he hears me. I also like to make up words like ga ga ga, ba ba ba, or ta ta ta. It’s a secret what those words mean…and I’m not telling!

Guess how many teeth I have! You don’t have to guess…I’ll just tell you. SEVEN!! I have four on the top and three on the bottom. There are more about to poke through, but they don’t count ‘til I can use ‘em. The new ones hurt a lot, but it feels much better when I bite everything in site, like Mommies shoes, or Daddies fingers.

I’ll tell you a secret…I love my family – especially my cousins. I get so excited when I see them – I just can’t help myself! I can’t wait until I get bigger and can run around with them!
