11 whole months - by frankie

only 1 more month until i turn 1! can you even believe it?

i sure can't!

this month we went to the library a bunch of times.

i can't decide if i like it yet.

we also went to the park a bunch of times.

  i'm getting so big that i'm finally able to play with the toys there.

it's prett-y fun.

my mom's been putting these, these shoes on my feet lately. a lot of them don't fit because of my fat feet and ankles.

 

 but she squishes my feet in there anyway.

 one day my dad put me in a laundry basket and pushed me around the room. then addie saw how much fun i was having and had to get in too.

she's always all up in ma business.

 then she took over the pulling of my laundry basket. right after this picture was taken she pulled me into her room and shut the door. i. was. terrified.

i'm eating lots of solids now. pretty much anything anyone else eats. 

not sure why my mom thinks it's so funny when i fall asleep in my high chair, but she does.

i crawl up all the stairs now. i even go down the right way.

look out!

here's how i wave.

my bff roni came over (she already turned 1!) and my mom tried to get some pictures. but guess who butted into them all?

we weren't paying attention anyway, so the pictures were terrible, but still, there's addie!

our mom's were trying to get us to stand up by ourselves here, and even though we both know how to, we wouldn't. not for a picture at least!

park again. and those darn shoes again.

these were after i went down the slide, all.by.myself.

i walk everywhere! as long as i'm holding onto an edge.

i also decided to make my dad happy and take up skateboarding.

pretty fun.

lucky for me i won't be crawling this summer because i do not like the way the bare floor feels on my knees. i do a bear crawl anytime i don't have pants on.

there are always things to be done around here. i am seriously unloading all the time!

it's pretty fun, so i don't mind the work.

stillll only have ma 2 bottom teeth. they've been my only teeth since the beginning of november, so they're pretty long, it looks a little bit like an upside down bunny mouth with my 2 long bottom teeth.

i love our baby couch.

relaxxxxing.

with a baby and a shoe.

not much else going on. i don't really say any words. i haven't really learned any new tricks. i'm sleeping through the night almost every night. i like most food. my mom keeps saying that instead of getting more brave as i get older, i seem to be getting less. i hate baths, mostly because addie splashes a lot, but even when i'm by myself i only like to stand. if i happen to sit down in the tub, forget it, i'm screaming. i'm super bashful. when people say hi to me i just bury my head in the shoulder of whoever's holding me. then i look up after a few seconds to make sure people are still looking at me. i can also be pretty patient. like when i play peek-a-boo, i will wait 15-20 seconds before boo-ing. but if i'm hungry or tired, all patience goes out the window. alright, i've got things to unload and messes to make.

 

see you when i'm one!

love,

frankie beans
