1 year, 11 months

Monthly picture time! It was a beautiful autumn day yesterday so Keillor and I went out to the porch with Dad.




Keillor was obviously ready for nap time!

 
Lots of excitement this past month! The big thing was starting at my Montessori school, of course. I love it there, although I don't love saying goodbye to Dad when he drops me off each morning. Most mornings I'm fine saying goodbye, but I still occasionally break down just to make Dad feel loved. 

My teachers at school often mention that I'm a very good eater. And it baffles Mom and Dad, but I eat things at school that I refuse to touch at home. But at school I see all the other kids enjoying the food so of course I'll join in! Peas, carrots, mangoes, and blueberries are all on the school-only list. In fact, last week I asked for seconds on the peas and carrots at lunch. 

My patience is tested every day with the amount of times I need to repeat myself when talking to Mom or Dad. But I usually remain calm and repeat the word as many times as they need. And to make it even more challenging, I'm learning Spanish at school so now I can confuse them in two languages! I'm getting good at counting to five on my own and when I say my ABCs along with Mom or Dad you can actually understand the letters now.

I've made some great progress on my walking this past month, as well. In fact, I took 10 steps on my own  at my physical therapy session on Tuesday (for some reason I always do better at PT!). At home I can do 3 or 4 steps on my own when asked (we'll try to post a video later this week). I spend a lot of time squatting and "jumping" which is great for building up my glutes, too. When walking longer distances with Mom or Dad, I only need to hold on with one hand now and my gait has become much more natural over the last couple weeks. 

I love pointing at airplanes whenever we're outside and I actually get to ride on one this coming weekend for a short trip to Minnesota. We'll bring back pictures for sure!
