You are just one day shy of your 13th month birthday. We celebrated your 1st birthday twice, once with the Chu side and once with the Brockway side. It was so fun to see you eat your cake and open your presents. You did not hesitate to stick a finger in your cake and start eating.
You are walking well now, and you are so fast. You love to explore the house, open cabinets and drawers and pull everything out. You love to watch the tv shows on nick jr. Your favorite is Yo Gabba Gabba. You love the characters and the songs and you also seem to be growing a liking for Barney the purple dinosaur. The life size creatures really intrigue you.
You love to hug and kiss the dogs, and in the last couple months you have really enjoyed hugging your mom and dad. While you hug and kiss, you say "mmmmm....". It is so cute.
We took you to see the animals at the San Antonio Zoo and SeaWorld. It was sooo hot, but you did well. You got to see monkeys, elephants, seals, and dolphins. Your absolute favorite show, however, was the dance show put on by people dressed up as Shamu and friends. Like I said before, you love life size creatures.
You talk a lot now. It is mostly jibber jabber, but you understand a lot of words.
