now that you have some teeth, we need to start brushing them. you weren’t very interested in the toothbrush, until I put it under the water. then, you wanted to use it so you could drink the water off of it. I was able to brush your gums and teeth, a little, though you mostly just chew on it.
I even got you to hold the toothbrush in your mouth.
At your 1 year appointment, you got your shots, including MMR. Seems that it (or one of the others) is giving you a fever. Wednesday, you had a 99.1 (+1) under your arm. Yesterday, you had 99.6, 100.1, 99.6 and today you had 100.8.
The nurses say its probably fine, but you feel SO much warmer today, so we don’t trust the reading we’re getting, so we’ll take you in to see the doctor.
Your first whole day back from Brasil, you noticed the lack of people around.
Mamae said you were looking around, like you do when you hear me get home from work, then you started pointing at all the pictures.
You trying to tell us you miss them?
Today, at the end of mamae’s birthday dinner, you had a small piece of a fortune cookie. Not sure you cared for it very much.
We finally changed your earrings for some new ones your aunt gave you.
You’ve been wearing the original once from since we put them in. Why it was so hard to get them off before I don’t know, but I finally removed them and put in the new ones (while you were sleeping/nursing of course).
You drank some water from a 1 liter bottle, because you saw me drinking from it. We normally put some water into the cap of your baby bottle, but you didn’t want anything to do with that; you had to have it from my bottle.
You were thirsty after playing at the “play ground” at the mall, so was your cousin. He got an orange bottle with water in it and you wanted it, even though we offered you the exact same bottle, but it was red. You HAD to have the orange one.
Mamae said that you started tearing off your bib recently, presumably when you’re done eating. I only saw you do it when we got back home.
Today, we went to finish your Brasilian citizenship, and you wanted to walk up the stairs. So, holding both of your hands, you walked up about 4-5 stairs. I told mamae to get the camera and make a movie. When you saw the camera, you decided you want to go down, backwards. Then you went up and down the first step a bunch of times.
Today you bent down and stood up all by yourself. You can pick things up that are on the floor and stand back up without using furniture.
