Every month I am shocked to see how much our little one has grown. You are in constant motion all day long. Which means, in turn, that Mommy is in constant motion all day long too! I love chasing you all around the house!

You really started this month off with a bang…you said “Mama” for the first time! So who cares if you said it to your Daddy first, you still said it! I cannot tell you how much it warms my heart to hear those two sweet little syllables! What is really funny, is that you learned that whenever you say “Mama” you can really get my attention. Uh oh, you are already learning little tricks to get mommy to act fast!

Here is a video of you saying “Mama”, it is actually from month nine:

On the fourth of January you started blowing kisses on Mommy and Daddy’s belly. Really, you are just leaving little puddles of drool everywhere, but we don’t mind the cleanup! I can’t believe how big you are!

Here is a video of you blowing on Mommy’s belly (caution-Mommy’s belly is shown here!):

On the 7th you started cruising around the furniture in the house. For days I spent all day trying to be right behind you to catch you in case you fell. Finally, I realized that your bottom is tough and it can take a few drops. Now you love going from place to place all over the room.

On the eleventh of January, you started standing up in your crib. I have always figured that when you started standing in your crib, that we would have some sleep problems. I figured I would have you waking up several times per night enjoying a little cruise in your crib. But, you are such a good girl, you never missed a wink. You have never woke once in the middle of the night standing up. What a sweet baby!

On January 11th you got your first haircut. Of course Meme gave you the haircut and we saved the hair for your scrapbook!

For weeks your top gums were SO swollen. Mommy kept telling Daddy that you were going to get a visit from the tooth fairy VERY soon.

Here you can see those teeth ready to make their appearance:

Well, on the 15th your third tooth came in. It was one of the top teeth. Then, exactly a week later, your fourth tooth came in. This was your other top tooth. You look ADORABLE with those two top teeth in. I keep thinking that there is nothing that could ever make you cuter, then all the sudden you get another tooth and you are even cuter than you were before! You were such a good baby while teething. Other than the swollen gums, I never saw any difference in how you looked or acted. You are such a sweetie.

Finally, on the 29th, while Mommy was pointing to the light fixtures and saying “light”, you mimicked me and said something to the effect of “yight”. I thought I was going crazy so I called your Daddy and Meme in to watch you, and sure enough, you said it again. We have a smarty pants on our hands!

Here are some more pictures of this special month:

Who’s the cutest baby in the world?

I don’t know where you got this hair, must have been from Daddy:

Baby girl, you are so amazing. Daddy and I feel incredibly blessed that God has trusted us with someone so special. Know that we will always love you! XOXOXO
