I'm a growing boy and learning so much. Here is quick update of my happenings over winter break: 10. I explored a lot. My favorite place was the Fairfield library. They have a Baby Farm area where there are toys, a castle made out of gym mats, a big circus mirror and of course, books. We went a few times.
9. We also visited the Westport library, they have more toys at this one. I played with my first plastic train set and met Thomas the Train and friends.
8. I just love bouncy balls! I participated in my first MY GYM class and was most enthralled by the big green exercise ball. I, of course, played a little basketball. Mommy was impressed that I saw the basket and knew to take the ball and throw into it. I also rode on my first swing.
7. I'm walking more. I typically take about five steps and then dive into the person standing nearby. I took twenty steps one time, but since then, my highest number is ten. In fact, I was having so much fun on New Year's Eve day that I dove into the couch. Unfortunately, that was my first bloody accident because I cut my eye-lid and we had to go to the doctor. Another first here, I have a scar, which daddy thinks makes me tough.
6. I talk A LOT! My first word was "BA" = ball. My next few were "a-DUH "= duck and "BU" = bye.
5. I still love to eat. I'm no longer "the avocado kid" as I've been refusing them lately. I also like to throw my peas. I still love bananas and yogurt. I recently started eating more chicken and ground turkey.
4. Rather disappointing news on the food front, I'M ALLERGIC TO EGGS! Oh no, that means, no cookies, ice cream, muffins, pancakes....and so many baked goods. Hopefully I have Auntie Amy's genes and prefer a big steak to all the carb-filled goodies that my mommy loves.
3. Yesterday, daddy was singing (yes, you heard me right) with my learning bear and he said the word "kiss." I then showed him how I can blow a kiss. Surprised him, alright! See, I'm learning a lot at school. In fact, they are teaching me to count and I can do it all the way up to the number one!
2. I played in the snow for the first time. Ten minutes outside and I wasn't quite sure what to think of it. I made a few snow angels and then we went back into the warm house.
1. Happy Freezing Cold January Everyone - xoxo
Happy Holidays! I was very little last year so didn't get to fully appreciate the holidays. This year, I lit the Hanukkah candles with Grandma Judy, Grandpa Rich and even one night with Cousin Elliott and my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Matt. They gave me lots of great gifts, at least one for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah. I doubled my toy collection, for sure!
