Dearest baby,
Oh my word, we’re into double digits on the months. Can you believe it? I’m already tweaking out a little bit about you turning one in just two short months. ONE! It seems like you’ve been a part of my life for forever and yet I’m astonished that you’re ten months old.
We’ve hit a few big milestones this month, too! You, my love, took your first steps on May 25th. You’ve taken a few consecutive steps since then, but I can’t quite say that you’re walking. You’re pretty stubborn and you like that you can cruise along at 30mph on your hands and knees. In fact, lately, you’ve taken to crawling at top-speed while pushing something along the floor in front of you, be it your wipes or a book or really anything that slides easily.
Just this past Thursday, on June 4th, we discovered something amazing and sharp. You got your first tooth. The very next day you got your second tooth. You don’t seem to be so impressed just yet and you absolutely do not want us to see those teeth of yours, but we think it’s pretty darn cool. It just means more foods of a bigger variety, my dear. You’ll appreciate those teeth pretty soon, I assure you.
Also this month, just about a week ago, you figured out how to open cupboards. Your mommy and daddy are just now putting their apartment up for sale so we can get a place where you have your own room and now we have to lock up the cupboards because you keep trying to get into the garbage! You couldn’t have waited just a smidge longer for that particular discovery? Next is drawers and then we’re really in trouble.
The cutest thing that you’re doing these days are your Eskimo kisses. You haven’t quite figured out that it’s nose-to-nose so instead you just whip your head from side to side while pressing your forehead against mine. It’s adorable, even if you’ve come very close to breaking my nose with your head on more than one occasion.
I love you, my girl. These last ten months have been remarkable and there’s only more to come. Please stop growing so fast. I feel like I’m missing things!
I love you I love you I love you I love you.
-Mama
