Randomness

Emme Nicole you need to sleep!  You are still not sleeping through the night and you are almost 1!  We used to have some good nights where you would sleep through, but not lately!  I don't know if it's because of the move to Gaga and Papa's house or because you are teething or because you are not feeling well.  I just hope we get through it soon.  I know that it is a phase and it too shall pass.  When you are an adult and living on your own I know that I will miss the nights you woke us up. 

You are a bundle of joy.  That sounds so cliche but it is true. You are such a happy girl and you make everyone around you smile.  Right now you are loving that you can walk.  You started walking about 3 weeks ago and you haven't slowed down since.  You love to crawl up the stairs and get mad at me when I go up without you.  When we get to the top with about two or three steps left, you turn around and start to head down.  You would go up and down up and down if we let you.

Right now you can say mama, dada, baba (for your bottle), gaga, dog (but it is more like gaw), hot and you understand a ton.  You seem to be a very smart little girl! 

You love to play your saxophone.  You love to eat paper. You do great in the stroller for walks. In fact, you almost always fall asleep.  You like your swing which we use a lot in the evening when you start to get fussy.  One thing you do not like right now is my super comfy rocking chair.  You know that when we get you in that chair with your bottle that it is night night time and you fuss and fuss.  You would rather stagger around half asleep than fall asleep.  I guess you think you are going to miss something!

You have 7 teeth right now and you are doing a good job eating real food.  Well, sometimes.  Last night you would not eat, you just wanted to fuss and drink a bottle. I think it's because you're not feeling well.

Anyway, I'm at work right now, so I better actually get some work done.  I love you so much and I wish you knew just how much!

Love,

Mom
