Dear Jameson,
Hello my darling!!
In a few days you will be 14 months old. CRAZY! Can't believe it (as usual.).
You are obviously walking tons, getting faster and faster every day.
You're talking a lot.. you have your own language, and you say a few words, and you also make tons of animal sounds.
Words you say:
hi
light
cheese
dog/doggy
mama
dada
fish
Sounds you make:
snake
cow
sheep (I think..)
horse
elephant
duck
bird
dog
You did finally have your feeding assessment. I'm not really sure about what they thought was wrong, but the good thing is, we were referred for OT (Occupational Therapy), where we'll meet with a really nice lady once a week, and she can teach me, how to teach you.. to eat! You do still eat cheese by the handful, bologna, sometimes blueberries, oranges. You drink your bottle really well, but by this time we should be thinking of weaning you off a bottle. Boy will that be hard! (they also told us we need to start weaning you from your pacifier.. oh no!). The other good thing is they don't think there's anything 'wrong' developmentally with the rest of you.. just that you may not know how to eat yet, and your mouth is a little underdeveloped. You're so on track otherwise, and even advanced in some areas. (of course!).
We do still take you to the gym, you do like it too.. but you're the oldest in the class now, and the class for your new age group is during a bad time for you (nap time!). We'll see what to do about that.
You still take 2 naps a day, usually one around 10, and another around 3 or 4. Course if you nap late, you go to bed late, usually around 9. Then you *usually* sleep all the way through until 6 or 7! I would say 9 times out of 10.. or maybe 8 out of 10 times, you sleep all night.
You just got over your second cold.. boy was that awful for you! You couldn't breathe because of all the sinus gunk you had, and you're too little to know how to blow your nose or anything to clear your head. I tried to use a booger sucker on you and holy cow that made you mad and made you cry :( I hate that you can't understand things like that, for all you knew, I was just being really mean! I think you've forgiven me though now.
You are SO sweet. You give your version of hugs, and you like to try to lick my nose. You still play with my nose, mouth and eyelashes when I rock you, and now you like to twirl your fingers in my hair. You walk up and hug our legs if we're standing, and you come up if I"m sitting down and actually place my hands under your arms so that I'll pick you up. Of course you also know how to just walk up to us and raise your arms so we'll grab you, which we're always happy to do!
We took you to the stock show a couple of weeks ago, and the Aquarium this past weekend. You absolutely loved the Aquarium.. not sure about the Stock Show, but it was so busy and you weren't really able to just enjoy what was going on. We're hoping to take you to the Butterly Pavillion and the Zoo soon.
Well my love, I better get back to work, I don't have much time to write these letters to you, you sure do keep me busy!
I love you more than anything else, my little prince.
Love, Mommy
