after i stopped writing your weekly letters, it got hard for me to remember to write on a regular basis. the holidays didn't help much with that. but i'm going to try and get back in the swing of things.
you are saying a lot of words now! words like dada, mom, ice ("ess" or "suss"), apples ("ap-pos"), duck, book, uh oh (just "uh!" usually), yes, this, no, bye ("buh"), got (you learned that from daddy and pappy and sam, when they were playing a pillow throwing game and saying, "i got ya's!"... you liked to fling your own pillow to the floor and say "got!")... you used to say baby ("be-be") a lot, but you haven't been lately. you also very distinctly said "mouse" a couple times when we were reading a book that had a mouse in it. it seems like that's all been happening at once. some words you'll say a whole bunch one day, and then not again for a while. and you will never do it on command, so the talking can just be our secret for a while, if you want.
you are very very close to walking now. i keep being afraid i'm going to have my head turned and miss your first steps, because you almost do it so often. tonight you stood there for 7 or 8 seconds, reaching for daddy, and we could see that you were almost going to take a step to him, before you gave up and crawled over to him. we need to get the video camera ready to go.
you are sleeping a bit better at night, knock on wood!
tomorrow sam starts preschool. i wonder how you will adjust, with him gone all day. i wonder how i'll adjust, too. we can adjust together.
love, mom
oh! i made you a hat, finally. you look cute!
