Saturday, January 10th

 

Another big month has gone by.  I got to open lots of presents at Christmas, but was strangely mesmerized by the boxes and paper.  I missed most of the other things that were there.  Next year…

 

I’ve grown a lot this past month, and can do far more things now than I used to.  I now get mad when someone feeds me (that’s for babies), and much prefer to ride in the car facing forward.  I’m turning 1 in a few weeks, so there will be more paper and boxes shortly.

 

I’ve learned:

  • How to stand by myself for long periods.
  • To crawl at amazing speeds.
  • Belly-laugh every day with my brother and sister
  • What this new white thing is inside my mouth.
  • Get food from the plate to my mouth using my hands.

 

More shortly.
