Oh, my little angel baby, you are getting so big.  This last month you are turning into a big boy, and I am not sure I am ready for it.  You have put the growing up on fast forward, and I want to enjoy every last bit of baby you have left…  Some of the things you are doing

- Starting to walk! You will take 7-8 steps and get scared and sit down.

-Starting to talk!  You will say dog, mom, dad, hi, no no no, bubye, ball, this, ddlls(you try to say Struddles, same sound every time, just not quite Struddles :))

-Will follow us all over the house

-Smile ALL of the time!  There is not a person who knows you that doesn’t tell us that you are the best baby ever. 

-Loves, loves, loves dogs!  You and Struddles play all of the time. You flap your arms at her, and she jumps at your arms and lick your face.  If you spy a dog from across the room, you freak out and say dog, dog, dog.  When they come near you lay your head on them and give them a love

- Got your first 2 teeth at 9 months, and we can start to see one more coming through on the top.  True to your nature, you were an angel the entire time you got your teeth!

- Mind SO good.  You start to put something in your mouth, so I tell you not in the mouth.  You will spit it out, and say no, no, no.  But, you are not perfect and typically forget and put it back in your mouth a min later, all to start over again! 

- You LOVE to cuddle and will lay your head down on everyone's shoulder to give them a love. You will give kisses, but only when you see your brother and sister give them.  You have the smooch sound down and it honestly melts my heart.
