Preparing for my 1st Christmas

Hi Everyone!

We have been so busy preparing for my first Christmas that we haven't had time for an update.  Did you know that on Christmas Eve, I will be 11 months old!?!?! Mommy keeps saying how fast the year has gone.

My favorite words are 'dada', 'mom', 'hi' and 'hot'.

My favorite 'big people' foods (so far) are mac n' cheese, peas, chicken nuggets, toast, pears, crackers, Mama's swedish meatballs, and sloppy joes.

I am still not crawling forward yet, but I am getting where I need to by moving backwards and spinning in circles. Everyone thinks I might skip crawling and go right to walking. Wait and see!

I have been to the doctor twice with croup.  The doctor finally decided that maybe an at-home nebulizer would help.  So, Daddy & Mommy tried that this last time and it seemed to work.  I was able to avoid a trip to the ER, go back to sleep and just see the doctor in the morning.  Whew!

Below are a few pictures from the past month!

I will update you on my first Christmas. I am not sure who is more excited Daddy and Mommy or me!

Love you!
