Eeks. Even that title is hard to write. 11 MONTHS OLD. I can't tell people you'll be "one" soon without placing my hand over my heart feigning chest pains. Am I allowed to say "I just had a baby?" Does that still apply? In my mind it still applies, so I still say it. When does it stop applying?
You. Are. Into. E V E R Y T H I N G. And "everything" doesn't quite cover it. We call you a wrecking machine, a disaster creator, a maniac, a crazy lady. You find anything to play with anywhere, anytime. You could be so tired, but you push through it to just keep on playing. It could be past your bedtime, but you don't let on. Sometimes you even have us fooled.
You learned how to giggle. It's so adorable. You giggle when you see us. When it's time to eat, you giggle. When you get to go outside and play, you giggle. You giggle. We giggle.
The pointer finger has emerged. You point at everything, sometimes its a something in particular, sometimes its not. You love to point at ceiling fans. You especially love to point at anything that Daddy is doing. You love your Daddy.
You have four teeth! But I don't think they are the "normal" four teeth babies get. They are your two bottom teeth and your two outside teeth NEXT TO your two middle teeth. Seems odd, but you seem to do your own thing on your own timing, so this is right on par. I just have these visions that maybe your body will never develop your top two middle teeth. How wierd would that be?! But those two top middle teeth are SO close to coming through; they are right on the edge of popping through. Maybe you'll be flashing those two new pearly whites while eating your birthday cake.
Since we call you Young Khoeward Anthony (YKA for short. It's a name your Dad came up with), Aunt Kristi thought a name like that deserved it's own Tale, accompanied by guitar and sang with a "twang". Here is the chorus to The Tale of Young Kloeward Anthony. There is more to come, so she promises!
This is the tale of young Khloeward Anthony
She has beautiful, glowing brown eyes!
This is the tale of young Khloard Anthony
Where she's been is never a surprise!
We call you our Sweetie! You are such a little sweetie! Keep giving us all those wonderful hugs! Happy 11 month old birthday today!
