A year of firsts

At one month I had learned to smile.
At two months I slept the whole night(9 hours).
At three months I learned to laugh.
At four months I learned to roll and slept 12 straight hours.
At five months I had my first babysitter and learned to hold a bottle.
At six months I loved peek-a-boo and figured out rolling can get me just about anywhere.
At seven months I got 2 teeth and could sit well.
At eight months I had mastered crawling, learned to say Dada, and wave.
At nine months I had learned to stand and got two more teeth, learned to clap and say "Yea".
At ten months I loved to give kisses, feed myself all kinds of food, and walk with some help.
At eleven months I learned to say Mama, enjoyed playing peek-a-boo by covering my eyes, practiced dancing when I heard music, and said "uh-oh" a lot.
At twelve months I like to make animal sounds, have 2 more teeth(making 6!), and have really figured out walking(the day before my birthday).

Isn't it amazing what is learned in such a short time period. We have been amazed as each month went by what new and exciting things Maria was learning. It really makes you feel amazed at the miracle a child is.

We have plenty to praise God for; a year of firsts to look back over and remember with joy.
Happy Birthday Sunshine!
