Happy New Year! Mom and dad rang in the New Year with me at their friend’s Lisa & Scott’s house. I woke up at 11:55pm just in time to celebrate with everybody. And to think mom and dad were going to let me sleep right through the midnight celebration. Good thing I set my internal alarm.
On New Year’s Day, I got to celebrate another Christmas with daddy’s family. It was fun seeing Grandpa, Grandma, and both my aunts and uncles on that side. I got some fun clothes and toys, including my own piano so I don’t have to always wait for mom to play the big piano to play along with her. Also, while playing with Grandpa Jim, I said one of my first words, “ok”. Or at least that’s what everybody says they heard.
I am certainly learning to exert my will even more. This week I am protesting almost all of my naps unless they are taken in the car. It doesn’t matter how tired I am, I am just not willing to take a nap unless I’m moving.
My last big bit of news is I now get to eat “real” food. I got my first meal of rice cereal on Tuesday. I didn’t really enjoy eating it at first and ended up finishing my meal in a bottle. But on Wednesday, mom thickened the cereal some and I was much more interested in eating it. Thursday I even ate two meals of cereal in between my milk feedings. Friday, I was a bit stubborn about eating, but yesterday I was back on track. It’s not the most flavorful of foods, but at least I get to use a spoon and make a mess. I am very helpful while eating though as I like to wipe my mouth with my bib part way through the feeding. It is also pretty neat to sit way up high in my feeding chair and now I even get to sit at the table while the adults eat their food. I’m starting to feel more and more like an adult. Though mommy says I still have a long ways to grow and not to grow up too quickly and enjoy my childhood, blah, blah, blah.
In honor of the New Year, here are my resolutions for 2009:
1. Eat my fruits and vegetables (once mommy lets me have them)
2. Use my words more and my crying less when I want something (once I have words)
3. Play, play, play!
4. Take longer naps (this is actually mommy & daddy’s resolution for me – apparently they are not fond of my 30 min cat naps)
5. Keep on learning and smiling :-)
Have a happy 2009!
Love,
