Milestones:  Nothing new this week

Development: You are becoming a toddler. You are throwing tantrums (little ones, but still tantrums and we DO NOT give in), your testing boundaries, and deciding if you want to eat or not. You are demanding now. You have all your little wants and needs and you make them known and NO is not something you like to hear. I see you working the angle, seeing if crying will work or laying your head on my shoulder. Very adorable. But can be really annoying as well!

Words: Mum, da-da, pen (penny, our kitty), bye, hi, no, done, nigh nigh (night night), Paw-paw (grandpa), ya, mine, snack (nack) milk, aqua, wow-wow(puppy) moo (cow) ta-ta (grandpa)

Concerns: Weight

Eating Habits: Breastfeeding three times a day and 3 meals and 2 snacks. Next week will be cutting down the breastfeeds to two a day.

Sleeping Habits: Still 2 naps a day, and sleeping through the night

Health: Healthy

Special Moments-  The zoo, new years, and calacali!

Other Observations/Activities:  This week we went to the zoo! You had so much fun watching the animals especially the bear. It was hilarious watching you. We also spent new years eve at your great aunts farm. We went there really early in the morning and spent the whole day going outside, seeing the horses and the cows and all the other animals like the ducks and sheep. You had a blast. Of course you went to sleep at 730 or so and I didn't go to bed until three. But guess who was awake at 530?? So yes, it was a long day. But completely worth it!

Milestones: Took one step!

Development:  She's getting more steady on her feet, trying to dance and bounce up and down. She took one step but hasn't taken much interest in walking since then. She is so good at crawling now that I don't think she sees it as a necessity, just whatever. But I'm sure it will come in time.

Words: Mum, da-da, pen (penny, our kitty), bye, hi, no, done, nigh nigh (night night), Paw-paw (grandpa), ya, mine, snack (nack)

Concerns: Weight

Eating Habits:  3 meals, 2 snacks and now breastfeeds 3 times a day. I have decided to take one breastfeed away every two weeks. So far she hasn't seemed to mind to much.

Sleeping Habits: Still taking 2 naps a day but I am pretty sure she'll be dropping one in the next month or two. The morning nap ends too late to have a second nap that will end before four but too early to not have a nap at all. We've moved bedtime back until she decides to drop the nap.

Health: Healthy

Special Moments-  Birthday and Christmas

Other Observations/Activities:  This week we celebrated your actual birthday. We let you open presents and you had so much fun. We got you a little kitchen which you absolutely adore!  We got you a couple of other gifts as well but the kitchen is obviously your favorite. Then we had Christmas two days later! You had such fun, opening presents, crawling around, playing with your new toys. Not to mention your outfits were adorable. Then of course like I mentioned above you took a step. You, of course, got so excited, as you do when you are just standing, and fell! You were kind of hurt so I can't help but wonder if you don't want to try because of that
