Loves: Climbing! Your brother, books, eating, nursing, snuggling, riding on my shoulders
Dislikes: being put down or being left alone (or when you think you've been left alone), being scolded, most people holding you
Clothing: Mostly 9-12 mo, 12 mo, or 12-18 mo. Size 4 shoes.
Hair: Straight on top, curly on the sides and in back, thick and light brown. Blue eyes.
Food: You nurse at night and in the morning. You refuse most cups and bottles during the day, whether whole milk or pumped milk. You are eating table food with a baby food "squeezie" every now and then. You love bananas, shredded cheese, any kind of cracker or cookie, most meats, yogurt and oatmeal.
You prefer your brother, parents or grandparents. You are ok with a few others, but will cry if you see me or Ree-Ree around (and not holding you).
You are saying more words every day. You can repeat a lot of words but sometimes refuse to do so. You are very good at pointing. You are clear with telling us "uh-uh" (no). You still say Mama, Dada, Bubba, Bye, book, duck, mo, baby, me (gimme), ma-ee (Maggie), uh-oh, pa-pa (pacifier), baba (bottle/cup), out (outside). You understand a LOT.
You can follow directions well. You love to pick up toys or blocks, and you are very proud of yourself when we all clap for you.
You wake up around 6 am, take a short morning nap and a longer afternoon nap most days.
You can walk, are starting to run, and are a climber.
You weighed 19.4 lbs this month.
You have two bottom teeth and are working on your top teeth (not quite broken through yet).
You had your birthday party and got a lot of toys and clothes. You love books and are starting to carry around baby dolls. You LOVE to carry around blankets but are not attached to any specific one.
You are learning body parts. You know eyes, nose, tongue, ears, hair, belly, and can show "one" finger.
