14 months!

Dear Sweet S,

You’ve lived with us for 14 months! You’re getting to be such a big girl.

You know A LOT more words and are starting to put together words to make short sentences like “I dropped” or “outside now.”

You got special braces this month for your feet. When you walked, you turned your feet in and walked on the inside of your ankle. We wanted to see if we can help make this better before you get older. You don’t seem to mind the braces at all and they seem to be helping a lot already. We did have to buy you all new shoes to wear with them and at first we thought you couldn’t wear converses anymore but we bought bigger ones and made it work! Aunt Beck has been really helpful with this making sure that we are getting what we need and doing it right! This picture is from before you got the braces. You LOVE boots and seem to be especially prissy in them.

You’re enjoying putting on clothes and playing with things you can put on like hats, scarves, or bedroom shoes.

MaeMae recently found this old hat of mine and you LOVE it!

You’re eating like a big girl these days. You like food with lots of flavor – except for meat – and you love things you can easily feed yourself. One of your favorite things to eat is burritos from Moe’s!

We went to Steve’s cousin’s house for Thanksgiving this year. We had a good time with family and also celebrated my Grandmama’s 90^th birthday. She loves flamingos so we all had silly flamingo glasses to wear.

The day after Thanksgiving we went to Fantasy in Lights. Jar and Mia were here to go and we had a van full! You and J were able to see Santa there and you liked him! You also really liked looking at the lights and dancing to the music!

 We picked out a Christmas tree together and decorated it while you were asleep. You’ve loved looking at it. Sometimes it is like you forget it is in the room and when you turn the corner you say “ooooo.” Its precious.

One of Bubbie’s uncles died this month and you and Bubbie went to Alabama for the funeral . You enjoyed the time with her and the extra attention. During the funeral you passed out tissues to everyone and got a little upset when everyone wouldn’t help you feed your baby her bottle. This uncle loved our family and loved you. When we last visited him you found his dentures in a cup and pulled them over on you spilling the water everywhere!

We can’t wait for Christmas to get here. It is so much fun to imagine this all from your perspective. You recognize Santa and are not afraid of him! We’ve spent a lot of time at home together which has been very nice. You love your room and having us in there to play with you. You especially like it when J is on the floor to play with you too!

The days are long kiddo but this month flew by! When I write again I will have news of Christmas to report! I can’t wait.

Love,

Meggie
