Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.

I know this is a little late, but, better late than never :) I am currently 13 months old and toddle about 12 hours of the day. Mom feels like I grew up over night. This month I went with my mommy and daddy to Hawaii to visit my Auntie Tara and Robert and my great aunt and uncle (Margrit and Steve). It was an amazing trip (apart from the 7 hour plane flight). I did great on the plane though and all the people kept telling me what a great baby I was. The way home was a red-eye so we slept and cuddled the whole night.
In the last month I played in the ocean for the first time and ate some sand, I danced on the beach and hung out at some posh places, I saw a Buddhist temple, meditated (well, sorta) and ate some delicious food. I tasted (and hated) sushi and played some great games. I truly enjoyed my time in Hawaii but am happy to be home.
I am doing some amazing things now and embody everything that is involved in being a toddler. I walk, run, talk (mom, dad, nana, no, yes, please, thanks, hi, hey, ruff, meow, darth, baba, juice, snack, yeah...), dance, play with my toys, turn on and off electronics, climb, go up and down stairs, zip and unzip, put toys in their place, put my toy balls in the holes that they go in, remember what I need to press on my toys to make them go, I throw big fits and temper tantrums, I eat anything that you put in my face, and, among some other things that I can’t remember, I blow bubbles with my spit.
I have also...fell down the stairs, crawled out of my crib, dumped liquid all over myself, ate miscellaneous items from the floor, ate wet cat food, chewed a balloon until it popped in my mouth, fell into the bath, fell into the table and got a knot on my forehead, got time out (for the first time), laughed so hard I snorted (in public), tripped on a cord and got a forehead rug burn...the list goes on and on, sadly.
My birthday party was amazing and most of my friends came. It was so nice of them and I loved to spend the time with them, I only wish that I could have spent more time with them! My family birthday party that weekend was also amazing and I was reminded how blessed I am to have been born into this family.
I have spent a lot of time with my mommy and daddy this month so it was hard when we got back from Maui and I had to go back to hanging out with the sitter. I had some rough separation anxiety and spent a lot of time attached to my mom’s hip during the last week, however I am working through it. I love to share with people and try to get the cats to eat my dinner regularly.
I am eating solely big kid food, but I LOVE strawberry Pediasure. I drink it not because I necessarily need it, but because I like the taste of it. I would rather suck one of those down in the morning than eat something. Mom has to regulate when she gives me those because I will fill up on it.
I got so many great things for Christmas that I can’t find the time to play with all my new stuff. I have it scattered EVERYWHERE and every time that mom tries to clean it up, I just make a mess elsewhere; Grandma says that’s my job.
We got Christmas pictures done this year and outside of my and dads complaining, they turned out pretty cute, although mom did forget to send out our Christmas cards :) ha. I also got my birthday pictures done and those turned out GREAT! I am very proud and have decided that i need an agent, interested? Please call 1-970-631-895*.not really
Mom and Dad are going on a cruise and they leave this week and even though I am sad to see them go, I get to spend the time they are gone with my Grandma and Grandpa and I can hardly wait! They give me so many good foods that mom wont feed me! It’s going to be so fun together. It’s the longest that I have been away from my parents and mom is getting a lot of anxiety about it. She keeps telling daddy and she feels bad...feels bad?! For what?! She is such a wuss! I hope I got my big girl genes from my daddy :)
I am starting to repeat what people tell me and everyone thinks its so adorable. I know where your belly, nose, eyes and mouth are and point them out when you ask me. I like to show off my belly button too! It’s very cute, especially when we are in public. The term "hussy" has been thrown around. I also like to take off my clothes and diapers.
I am getting two new teeth, and they are doozies! I have been far crankier than I was with any of the other teeth and I chew and drool more than ever. I am getting through it though and mom says we just have to ride it out, but I can’t really trust what she says because she also says that my teeth make me look goofy and we all know that isn’t the case. I now have 11 teeth, 6 on the top and 5 on the bottom.
We are getting ready to move next month and I can hardly wait. We are going to be in our own house and then dad says that mom and I can get a doggie. We are going to get a really ugly one from the pound. We are hoping to get a house near my grandma and grandpa but we wont know for sure for a couple more weeks. I am going to have a play room to keep all my toys in.
Anyway, I trust that everyone else is doing great. Lovelovelove Ms Amira
