You are just a ball of energy these days. You crawl everywhere and get into
everything. You have started opening
cabinets. I found you the other day in
the midst of tons of plastic cups that you had pulled down off the kitchen
island shelves. You are QUICK when you
crawl. You stop yourself by sticking out
a leg and pointing your toes. Speaking
of pointing, you are pointing nonstop.
Every light, speaker, fire alarm, speck of dust and even people’s faces
are prime pointing places. You love to
“pet” Missy by touching her with your pointer finger. Every time you point at something, you always
say “ooh.” You also have found joy
pushing this enormous blue exercise ball across the kitchen floor and love to
play. You have started clapping. You clap when you do something that you like
or to music. You just love music –
especially the toy house radio that you play with in your playroom.
Your dad went skiing out of town last week (Thursday –
Sunday) for work. He takes an annual
trip to Beaver Creek with people from his work.
This meant that I got you all to myself – which was so much fun. We spent much of our weekend eating (of
course), playing, taking walks, going to Gymboree, playing bubbles, going to
the park and just hanging out with your mom.
On Saturday night, mom hosted her old book club for one of the girl’s
pre-bachelorette party. After a little
bit of time to warm up, you loved being held and passed around by
everyone. Although you did NOT want me
to put you on the ground to crawl. There
was way too much action for that!
Poor baby. This past
Tuesday, school called and you were sick.
You were running a 101 temperature.
We gave you Tylenol and Pedialyte (which you loved) and cuddled you
tight. Luckily the next day, even though
we kept you home from school, you felt much better. We received notice that your new school is
ready to open so I sadly had to tell your other school that February would be
the last month that you will attend there.
I was heartbroken. We have really
loved our time there and the teachers are wonderful. Your new school is much closer to my work and
there are so much fun things that you will get to do. There’s a theater, Spanish classes, a garden,
daily book readings, health eating and physical activity. You will have a playground that is made just
for your age! We start in a couple of
weeks and I’m excited that you will get to attend. You were the first kid to register for this
school. I registered you when you were
only a month old.
This weekend was Valentine’s Day and it was extra special to
me this year because I got two valentines.
Saturday morning, we met in Addison for a meeting to do with a
restaurant chain that we are investing in.
You didn’t last long in the meeting.
You wanted to crawl and point, so I took you in the lobby. We pointed at all of the lights, ate bottles
and purees and looked at some new apps that I downloaded for you. After a while, Granddad came out to play with
you too. You promptly threw up on
him. Poor Granddad. After the meeting, we met Nonnie at BJ’s in
Plano and had a great lunch. You slept
through the first part and sat in a high chair for the second part. You just love being a part of the group. Instead of going out, your dad and I decided
to stay in a make a special Valentine’s Day dinner (steak, mashed potatoes and
artichokes). You snoozed right through
it. We also started planning an Italy
trip that we are going to take this summer.
Sunday, your day was filled with playing, Gymboree, and even a nice run
outside. You love to be outside.
