One is Fun!

Being 1 y.o. is so much fun! I love to play at the park, & now I like to climb on things too. I really like to "help" with the dishwasher & to rearrange everything in the kitchen cabinets. I also recently learned that 2 lids (from the pots & pans cabinet) make great cymbals! And, I have now improved my take-my-own-diaper-off talent to include using both of my hands & ripping it off in about 2 seconds flat.
I also like to run up & down the hallway chasing the dogs & Momma & Daddy. And, last week, Daddy taught me to kick & (sort of) throw a cool new green bouncy ball he got me. My friend Diego from down the street sometimes comes over to play with me. (I "politely" ask him to give me back my toys.....but he's trying to teach me to share.)
I'm also learning to say a few more words (at least to talk & say words that Momma & Daddy seem to understand). And, I understand a whole lot of what they say to me. (I just don't like to listen when they tell me "no" or make me go to sleep when I want to play instead.....) I can now tell them when I'm finished eating (my own special hand gestures or if that doesn't work, I just spit my food out & say shake my head "no").
We're getting ready for Christmas, & it will be so much fun! I can't wait to see what new toys I get & to play with everyone! Love, Davis
