Yet another month has passed and it seems unreal that this could have already happened! 2011 is off to a great start. You have had a busy month full of wonderful activities. You are a busy, busy girl. During January we finally had to break down and put locks on all of the cabinets because our mobile genius has determined how to open the cabinet doors and drawers. There are a number of drawers and cabinets that we let you play in, but there are some that are far too dangerous for you to explore. Beginning in about mid-January, you began to let go of the objects you were holding to gain support, and stand on your own. In the beginning, you started this because every time we say ‘Yea’ or ‘Yea Addison’ you automatically clap and you had to let go to clap at these phrases. Eventually, you moved from doing it only on this instance to doing it at random. You also love to hold our hands and walk, as well as walk behind the Dino Grammy and PaPa gave you for Christmas; it is adorable!
You love music. You love for us to sing to you, listen on the radio/TV music station, and on your piano. Your class has also started to go to music time each day and your teachers comment that it is your favorite part of the day. The part of your music experience that we enjoy the most is that you shake your bottom when you listen. It is absolutely priceless and melts the hearts of everyone that sees you.
You were sick for the first time this month with bronchiolitis and an ear infection. As you will read, you were on antibiotics and breathing treatments. Coupled with these, we also added a humidifier, propped your bed and put Vick’s on your feet after bath under your socks. There were so many ‘remedies’ going at once who knows what (if any) contributed with the antibiotics to get you well again.
You love to eat, aside from the week or so you weren’t your normal self! This month we added a ton of new food, and there really have not been many that you don’t love. To be honest, you will eat anything, but you love almost everything. This month you tried lemons and pickles and loved them both. You really, really take after me in the respect that you like snack foods. You adore Goldfish crackers, YoBaby yogurt, applesauce, and fruit. You are extremely bright in that you know when Daddy is eating ice cream and if he eats in front of you he knows he is going to have to share with you. You did have a rough patch this month where you would throw fits when you wanted out of your high chair. You would rare back and wiggle until you turned around and could stand up. Needless to say you have now begun to wear the harness when you sit in your chair. Luckily this was a short-lived phase and you are back to loving your highchair.
Bath time is still a highlight of your day and you will splash and sing and play with your toys until we make you get out. We love how much you love water and are still anxiously waiting until pool time this summer.
You are quite vocal, or as Dr. Ramsey noted, articulate. Your current vocabulary includes: Dada, daddy, wow!, hi, bye-bye, ba-ba, pawpaw. Sadly, you will notice it does not yet include mom, mommy or momma. We are all three diligently working on it and I you are so very, very close. You also like to flip your bottom lip and make a boat sound, and you love to motor boat your lips.
We love you so much and are thankful for such a fantastic month!!
