Mom Calls Me Bird Cause I Skwak

So, although this is a little late, I am now eleven months! At the present, there are a mere 21 days until my birthday. I continue to grow and change every day and although mom says I don’t look a day over 6 months, most people we meet say that they thought I was over a year old. I couldn’t imagine why because I remain in the 5th percentile in my weight. I am, however, very tall and can fit into (length wise) most 18 month pants.

I continue to be curious and have mastered the art of throwing a fit when I don’t get what I want. Mom thinks it’s funny. It’s not. It’s a serious matter. I arch my back and scream scream scream...then I whip my head back and I demand attention. It’s very disarming if I do say so myself. I feel as though this is going to be a very useful tactic as the years move forward.

I point at everything. Things I want, things I dont want, things that I want you to see, everything. I also say "that." Mom and me walk around the house and i p

oint at things and say "that" and she tells me what it is, most times I want her to pick it up for me too. It is one of my favorite things to do.

I still go to my friend Keegans house for babysitting, and that is really fun. Keegan just turned one so we went to his birthday party, it was a blast. I got to eat some cake and play on a kids swing and I even ate some homemade Mexican food, which I really enjoyed. Keegan said that he is going to come to my birthday party! I also get to hang out with my Aunty Chelsea some days and that is so so so fun. I love being with her, she loves me so much. My favorite people in my extended family are still my grandma and grandpa...but grandpa holds a special place in my heart...I can tell he is going to be a total sucker ;) But he laughs when I throw a fit too and that is just SO

FRUSTRATING!

I can do a lot of neat things now. I walk all over the place, but I do hold onto things. I have taken some unassisted steps, but I still don’t trust myself enough to get around well without a wall or couch or table. I do stand all by myself though and I really love to do that.

I say some things, like "down," "that," "darth" and the obvious, mom, dad, and baba. Sometimes mom says that i say other things but really, I think I am just babbling. I play ball and give kisses and high fives. I come to mommy when she says that she wants me to "come here" and I can give things to my mommy and daddy when they ask for them. I hide toys and I am a huge fan of cat toys.

My top two teeth came in this month, so I have been a little cranky. I am also waking up occasionally at night again, it drives mom nuts. I woke up last night at 330am, hahaha. Mom doesn’t feed me because she doesn’t w

ant me to get into the habit so sometimes it takes me a little while to get back to sleep. Last night mom ended up bringing me into her room to cuddle her, which I really loved, but only for about 20 minutes and then I had to go back into my own room, just because I wanted to play.

I drink regular milk now and eat the same food that mom and dad are eating. I don’t like baby food much anymore, but I do eat yogurt in the morning. I LOVE wild berry YoBaby!!

I love dancing and music. Dad and I have special time when he plays the guitar for me. I really enjoy it and I get to play on my guitar. We make beautiful music and it is a special time for daddy and me.

Mom and dad have been look at houses. Mom says that we might move. I am excited to be in our own house, and then maybe I can get a doggie! Dad is really nervous though and is having second thoughts, hopefully mom wins this one, I can bet that she will.

I crawl up the stairs and try to get down them, with little success. I can point out some animals (dog, cat, monkey and bear) and love to turn pages and read to my mommy. I drink out of a big girl cup and dance when music comes on. I party like an animal and sing like an opera star.

I play on my rocking horse and mom plays dress up with me..But I don’t really like that game. I like to take off my clothes and would rather be naked than clothed. I hate diapers and love to brush my teeth. I try to feed myself with a fork and with moms help; I can actually do it pretty well.

My daddy is my favorite person and I chase him around the house. I get to spend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights just me and him. I love that time. We play the guitar and dance and sing and fly around the house and dad lets me go through EVERYTHING in the house.

Mommy started making bows for me so I am constantly bowed up looking slick...and stylish.

My birthday party is rapidly approaching and it is pretty much birthday mania in our house. There are princess tiaras and dresses and plates and cups and neat things to give to my friends EVERYWHERE. I always want to play with the stuff but mom doesn’t let me and it really sucks, it just sits there mocking my very existence. Mommy has finished my pretty birthday dress and says that I look SOOO adorable in it. All of my friends are so excited to dress up like royalty and hang out with me for the day! It will be a pretty great weekend, although the following Monday I have to go to the doctor and get shots and that pretty much STINKS!

The weather is getting pretty chilly here so we had to break out the winter attire. I really like how comfy most of it is and mom says that I look so adorable in my long sleeves and sweater pants. I get to wear a lot more comfortable clothes in this season. Mom just picked out our holiday pictures outfits and she says that our family is going to be the cutest on the block in our snowflake sweaters; dad says we look like freaks (whatever that means).

I can hardly wait for the next few months. I have a feeling that things are going to be very exciting based on the amount of wrapping paper that mom has hanging around our abode (I love paper).

As My Birthday Approaches

Color: Purple ♥ Number: 12,21,30 ♥ Stone: Amethyst-the sobriety stone to balance you and open up your perception ♥ Flora:Lavender ♥ Animal: Stingray ♥ Occupation: Dancer, Artist ♥ Key Features: Thrilling, spellbinding, fascinating ♥ Naturally Good At: Attracting attention while appearing to do nothing (That is absolutely NOT me!)

Character: You have a mesmerizing air and piercing eyes-others feel you look not just into their eyes, but into their very soul. You attract people who either love you or hate you but either way, are drawn to you like a moth to a flame. Because you have this aura, some will find you wonderful, others sinister.

Life Path: Because it is easy for you to have power over others, it is essential that you monitor yourself and check your motives regularly. Some people born on this day become very insecure and are not aware of their incredible hypnotic power. Open yourself up to a path of enlightenment and unconditional love, but keep yourself firmly on the ground.

Love: You are lucky in love and attract a number of special and lovely partners. Learn to receive their love and don't question them as to why they love you-you can over complicate relationships with your probing and interrogating. Chill out and enjoy. Find a Sagittarius.

Best Present: Book on spirituality

Birthday Share: Grace Kelly, Princess Grace of Monaco, Neil Young
On This Day: in 1859, in Paris, the first flying trapeze act was performed by Jules Leotard at the Cirque Napoleon without a safety net. The body-hugging costume he used was later named after him.

And we have Semi-Liftoff

I have taken a step. I say STEP, because it was singular, uno, only one; however, it was a step-despite the ungracefulness of it.

We were all so proud. I have not done it since, though I have made a couple attempts...failing attempts.

I am standing like a pro now though and love to do it. I get really nervous about it when I realize that I am doing it though, and then I sit down. Its going to make the whole fluid walking thing a little hard.

I have been doing so many new things lately though, but I will wait until I write my 11 month blog to divulge that juicy information.

Mommy finished my princess dress for my birthday party though and says that I am going to look so beautiful. We are going to send out my invitations in the next two weeks. I can hardly wait to see all my friends. It is going to be a little sad though because my Aunty Amira and cousin Cali will probably not be able to go because Aunty Amira has class. Even though they wont be able to be there, so many of my other friends are going to come and I cant wait to see them all!
