Month 11


Gentry,

Where has the year gone?  On April 28, 2012 I was celebrating the life inside my belly with friends and family at my Perritte Baby Shower and this year you've used almost everything I received that day!  What a difference a year makes!

This month has been fun and a little frustrating.  You are on the move and you don't stop moving unless you are asleep.  Hence a little frustration.  My days are spent moving things faster than you can get them.  Gone are the days I just fold clothes once or being able to use the coffee table for anything!  You like to cruise everywhere and you can walk from the couch to the coffee table.  

Your awesome sense of humor out weighs any frustrations I've had.  You are down right funny!  You sing all day long, click your tongue and blow raspberries just to make me laugh.  We had a guest preacher a few weeks ago and during his sermon you spent the whole time looking at him and giving loud kisses his way.  I am sure the DS felt very welcome :)  

You have also learned so much this month!  You can point out someone's eyes, nose and mouth on command.  You can point at lights on command as well as turn them on and off.  You've known how to say and wave bye for a while but now you can blow a kiss.  You can do the signs to Patty Cake and Row, Row, Row Your Boat.  You say bye bye to the water at the end of the bath and you spend your bath time "swimming" and splashing.  You are a very smart girl and know the meaning of the word "no" and you also look straight at me with a big smile and sometimes still do something I said "no" to.  

I cannot wait to celebrate your first year with friends and family!  It takes a village to raise a child and I love and appreciate the village that's helped me raise you!  You are so perfect for us!

We love you so very much,

Mommy
