1 year, 2 months

It is hard to get me to sit still for pictures now. These are the best of the 20 or 30 dad took this morning. You'll also notice that I'm sporting a new outfit from Lindsey and Susie!

And I apologize for my hair. Tonight is bath night so it'll look better soon!

Go Broncos!

 Ok, that's enough, Dad.

Highlights from the month:

I'm not in a cast. That's probably the biggest news. The new surgery date is Friday, January 17th.

I'm making the most of my cast-free time by crawling all over the place. Sometimes so quickly that Mom and Dad are surprised when I'm not where they left me. I also like spending time on my knees and I'm getting better at pulling myself into a standing position. Dancing is always fun and it doesn't take much of a song to get me bobbing my head. 

I'm starting to get just a little pickier when it comes to eating. I'll no longer just shovel anything into my mouth. And if Mom or Dad tries to sneak something in with cottage cheese or apple sauce, I'll calmly pull it out of my mouth and offer it to Keillor. But I'm still a really good eater overall. In fact, over the last couple weeks I've become quite skilled at pointing to what I want and giving a little grunt (food, books, toys, whatever). Dad made a new batch of lefse on Christmas and I like to say, "Mmmm" after each bite of that.

I'm saying several words now, too. It's just that no one really understands me. Banana, milk, and book are all part of my vocabulary, but it's still my own sort of language.
