Month 12

You are becoming quite the personality, you laugh your head off when we play games with you, and we've been told many times that you are just a happy kid
You got your first real hair cut this month -- the wispy baby hair just wasn't working anymore
You have become quite attached to your little stuffed monkey - we have to make sure to take it with us wherever we go
Diaper changes are becoming quite the challenge -- you manage to squirm out of any hold that we have you in
You had your first day at daycare this month -- mom went back to work two days a week, and a good friend of ours is watching you at her home daycare.  You did amazing -- and everytime I drop you off in the morning, you have a huge grin when I pass you over. (Trying hard not to develop a complex ;)
You're crawling at the speed of light and are cruising furniture with ease.  Just before your first birthday, you started to stand for a couple seconds on your own.  Walking is just around the corner, and we're bracing ourselves for the change!
You moved this month! Your crazy parents moved you across town and immediately tore out walls in the house while you were napping.  You have been such a trooper and seem oblivious to the chaos going on around you.
We feel so blessed to have had you in our lives for a whole year, and are amazed by how much more we love you now than this time last year.  Here's to a whole lifetime following the same trajectory.
