12 Month Milestones

You help mama sweep the house! In fact, when you're done eating you so generously grab the broom and the swiffer and bring it to mama so I can sweep up your crumbs! What a good helper!

at 12 months for the first time you actually got the leggos to fit perfectly on the mat and you were also placing your animal puzzle pieces in the exact animal spots perfectly!!! I was very excited about this and called daddy because I was wondering when you were going to figure it out! Good job honey!

Walking

A week before your first birthday on December 1, you took steps--15 to be exact as daddy recollected as he excitedly spilled the news over the phone. He may have exaggerated as you actually ran more than walked in your excitement during your first trial. Nevertheless, you went for it! Over the next few weeks you took careful, concentrated steps and by your first visit to California you were walking at Catherine's wedding (December 27th) all night long! Exactly one month after your first steps you were a walking champ! Now you are RUNNING!!! At the park you just run all over the place and explore everywhere you can! Daddy called you his little Magellan!
