Here I am during a recent trip to the finger lakes, celebrating the fact that I’m rounding the corner to my first year!  This month marked a lot of milestones, including three more teeth.  My top teeth poked through on August 20, 2016 and my fourth bottom tooth emerged on my right side the very next day.

In terms of physical developments, I can stack all of my colored rings myself, and I love taking things in and out of containers.  I’ve also started dancing (bouncing vigorously up and down and waving my arms whenever I hear music) … what I lack in coordination I make up for in enthusiasm!  I can also clap, wave, and make funny noises with my tongue on command.  Some of my favorite social pastimes include pretending to talk on the phone and blowing kisses.

I have two recognizable words.  My very first word was “mah,” meaning more, which I say at the table when I want to eat more of something (usually blueberries).  I also say “uh oh” (usually when I drop said blueberries on the floor).

Current likes: the cat

Current dislikes: being restrained or having something I’m holding taken away from me

So close to walking, and yet so far!
