13 Months - October 2005
October 25 - October 31, 2005
(1 year, 8 weeks)
Monday was a big day for me - I stood by myself for a few
seconds - all on my own. I have been pulling myself up to a stand
while holding onto Mommy for sometime but on Monday when I did it I started
to giggle. I then let go with my left hand and giggled harder.
Next, I let go with my right hand, realized I stood on my own and then
collapsed into a screeching-giggling pile. Repeat about 20 times.
I was so proud of my accomplishment and so was Mommy. We kept laughing
over and over.
I got to play in the leaves a few times this weekend.
I wasn't sure what to make of their crunchiness at first but eventually had
a lot of fun picking them up and handing them to Mommy and Daddy.
Happy Halloween!
"Hey!"

Here I am on the table that Daddy made to fit behind the
chair in my room. How did I get on the table you might be wondering.
Well, simple I just crawled right on up. It has become part of my
daily ritual. I crawl on the table, kiss all my animals (Lady the dog
and Michigan Bear get extra kisses), dive head first into the seat of the
chair and then I laugh and repeat. All this occurs under Mommy's
supervision of course. Last week I pulled Kleenex out of the box in
addition to the tasks listed above but as you might have guessed, the box is
now empty.
I got to see my cousin Lincoln this weekend. He is
getting to be such a big boy. He is 4 months old now and weighs just
two pounds less than I did at 12! He is so cute - for a boy who is my
cousin anyway. He smiles a lot. I can't wait for him to get a
little bigger so we can play together.
I go in for my official weigh in this week. Will I
have to stay on the high fat diet? Will I be able to sit forward
facing in the car seat? These questions answered and more on As the
Scales Balance.

At the Pumpkin Farm
Latest Word - Roaring like a lion (sort of
a word).
The funny part is that the roar is no louder than
a whisper.

On Thursday, I decided I was ready to climb up the stairs
and proceeded to do so like I've done it all my life. Lately I am
always looking for an opportunity to climb the stairs, or on top of the
chair in my room, or even over Wilson. It seems like I am making
physical leaps and bounds quite expediently.
Yesterday I went to the pumpkin farm with my friends
Aidan, Madison, and Sammy. It was so much fun! I even picked out
my own pumpkin!
I got my flu shot yesterday too. It wasn't very fun
but I was somewhat brave and recovered quickly from the poke. I get to
go back next week for my weigh in. Mommy weighed herself and then
again holding me at Grandpa's this morning. According to his scale I
weigh exactly 19 lbs. (with clothes on). We'll see the doctor's scale
has to say.
"I am one among many pumpkins."

I have become a master puller upper. I pull myself
up to a standing position on anything I can get my hands on - window sills,
tables, furniture, Mommy, etc. Everyday I get faster and more stable.
I am even able to sit back down. I greet Mommy most mornings standing
in my crib which I did for the very first time on Thursday, September 29.
I do not like for my toes and often the tops of my feet to
touch the floor while I am crawling so I curl my toes up. Mommy wishes
that I could explain the reasoning behind this phenomenon to her. I
could share but I think that I'll keep her guessing...
I fed myself breakfast with a spoon today. Mommy
would scoop out oatmeal with cinnamon and grated apple onto my spoon, hand
it to me, and I would put the spoon into my mouth. I hardly made a
mess at all.
