Once again, I am a bit late posting your monthly letter. ( An idea, as I have mentioned before, shamelessly stolen from other bloggers. Deal.)
This month, one away from the BIG 1 YEAR, you are blossoming in a way that is truly astounding.
First in physical development: You are on the fast track to walking. You are currently practicing standing unassisted...which you do for a moment or so and then begin this drunken hula-hooping movement that inevitably results in you falling on your diapered butt. You crawl with lightening speed but I can tell that you'd really love to be running. Don't worry. All this practice will pay off and you'll be laughing and running away from me in stores in no-time.You also seem taller and leaner...a result, I'm sure of growing (er...yeah. D'uh.) and moving around so much. You are on the go ALL THE TIME. Even in your sleep...you crawl around and then fall into hilarious poses involving your previously mentioned diapered butt sticking straight up into the air. Cute.
You make all kinds of faces at the moment...many of the funniest are when you are finding circumstances to be decidedly UNFUNNY. I try not to laugh but, sorry, sometimes it can't be helped. Especially when you are pouting and stick out your lip and your tongue. Its ridiculously adorable.
Word-wise, you are an old pro at "Uh-oh" which has evolved from "Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh" to a very distinguishable two syllables. You say "Dad" ALOT, "shoes," "meow" like a kitty cat, and yesterday you said "Cheese" over and over again at the grocery store. You say a heck of a lot more, lecturing us on what I'm sure are very interesting, in-depth opinions on everything under the sun, but we don't understand much. We just nod and smile and hope you keep on talking. Because we love it.
We are currently planning your 1 year birthday. It seems surreal to be even thinking about it but there it is...2 1/2 weeks away. Where has the time gone? In some ways it seems like you just got here and in others like I've been diapering your little ass forever.Watching you grow the past month has been a blast. You are so much fun right now and I really think its just going to get better.
I love you up to the sky and back again a million bazillion times,Mama

Holy crap, look at the vocabulary on that fella!
Clearly advanced for his age.
And adorable, too.
Yes, very impressive. (and so darn cute too) We had ear infections a lot at that age, so we only recently got uh-oh. Kills me every time she says it though. Has to be one of my favorite little kid words.
That one made me cry. I think I am hormonal! Anyway, yay Otto! I loved this age. Have fun with him. I can't believe he is going to be a year old. He looks like he has really been growing taller. Give him a squeeze for me!
