Merry Christmas Eve! It is a very special day today and also the day you turn 11 months. We have had such a fun month with you, once again.

This month you have:
-You are 18.5 lbs. and 27.5 inches.
-You can repeat noises we make: a buzzing bee, sssssssssss, clicking your tongue, etc.
-You can mimic words that we say like: red, yellow, bellybutton, diaper, mickey mouse, and tada.
-You had your first Thanksgiving and we were in Bristol, TN with G'Mom, Grampa, Aunt Jen, Uncle Chad, Molly, and Leah
-Your first Thanksgiving meal was a WHOLE croissant roll. All by yourself!
-When we give you your brush to play with and a phone you put them by your ear (so smart)
-Your first favorite song is "If Your Happy and You Know It!" When we sing it you smile big and start clapping.
-CRAWLING! You have mastered this and are an official crawler.
-You got sick this month and you were so sad. You had a sinus infection and went on an antibiotic, Amoxililin, for it.
-You went with Mommy and Daddy to get your first Cmas tree and you put the first ornament on it.
-You have started laughing at things on your own that you think are funny and make you laugh.
-You will hand us book to read to you.
-You went to the mall to take your first pix with Santa. You did great and didn't cry!
-We put Cheerios in your bib and you ate them. It was so funny!
-You moved up to the crawler room at church.
-You started having 10 min. of "room time" to play safely by yourself.
-You are really good at playing peek a boo. You will even keep the blanket on your head for a few min. and just waiting - laughing at us until you pull it off.
-We have started telling you "no no" and we heard you saying it while you were going to bed one night. too funny!
-You started using a snack trap.

This Advent Season has been so special. I have enjoyed celebrating the birth of our Savior with you each day. We had a chain link that had little activities for you and I to do together. We got to read scripture, dance, sing, and play instruments together. We made wonderful memories together.

I love you!
Mommy
