19 months

Dear FIN -
This has been a whirlwind month! We have sold the house, we have find a new house and baby, I'm so very excited for you to be in this new house! Lots and lots of room to run, the community seems really great, you'll be a FIB (to be explained to you when you're older). And if the community isn't great, well heck, we are only renting this first year to make sure we are making the right decision.
So your accomplishments this month, while still subtle, have been coming daily. You now can name all the colors in your color book. It totally took me by suprise. When I bought the book for you, you were about 10 months old. I would sit with you on my lap, flip each page, and say the color; 9 months later you can flip the pages and say each color. Awesome. Now I don't feel bad holding out on giving you M&M's until you tell me the color. And yes, lellow is acceptable for yellow.
You walk up and down stairs. No more crawling up them. You have no fear of just rubbing those chocolatey fingers up and down the wall as you make your way on the stairs - I'm totally OK with this, the house is only ours for 1 more month. There are so many other things you have begun doing, but I have to mention, you started swim classes. Not only are you the cutest thing in the class, but you are a rock star in the pool! Yes yes, the babylicious body helps, but you can kick your feet and paddle your arms on command, and you lunge for toys in the water with no fear as you sink like a rock - before I catch you, of course.
I am excited for what this next month has to bring, like your first baby girl cousin, thanks to Aunt Sara & Uncle Henry, due any day now!

Here are a couple pictures of you playing around the car. Your favorite word is CAAAAAR!
Love,
Mama
