my sweet Jovie, today you are ELEVEN MONTHS OLD! and only weeks ago from turning 1!
i can hardly believe it – my princess is growing up so quickly, though at the same time, you’ll always be my little baby. ALWAYS.
nothing much had happened until the last week or so – you can stand on your own for a few seconds, and even take a few steps
and you’ve learnt how to clap! finally!! (i haven’t uploaded the video yet though)
your hair is growing by the day – your fringe always seems to be in your eyes, and you’re starting to get a little curl to the sides of your hair. you hate wearing bows or having your hair tied up, so we haven’t been able to take any cutesy pie baby photos of you (booo!).
your brother is getting way too crazy with you sometimes –
you’re often the object of his terrible two tantrums – but thank goodness you can take a fall! but then again, you’re really adventurous these days – climbing on and off the couch, rolling off things, peering over ledges… you’re so brave and curious! you’re obsessed with climbing up the stairs and get so upset when you’re not allowed.
sleep for you lately has been awesome for us (KNOCK ON WOOD), we hardly hear a peep from you lately between 10pm and 6am.
your Grandma Sharon and Uncle Ryan will be here in a few weeks to celebrate your first birthday and i cannot wait for them to meet you. i mean, who wouldn’t want to meet this —
i’ve only just realised that we share the same star sign – Taurus – which only confirms what i’ve been thinking all along – we’re two (stubborn) peas in a pod 🙂 watch out daddy!
i love you always, mumma.
