I had my birthday Feb 1, 1999! My birthday party was on Jan. 31 and I 
had so much fun! We had people in and out all day, so I got three 
cupcakes and I LOVED making a mess. By the third one I was a pro and had
cake and frosting in my hair, ears, and nose! It also found it's way down 
my legs and even on my back! 

  I am doing so much now! I've been walking for about a month, so 
mommy has been on her feet ever since! I love running from her when we 
play! I talk alot, too. Nana says I got that from mommy but mom says it 
couldn't *possibly* be from her! ;o) I can say all kinds of words, and 
here are some: light, good, bite (and no bite), okay, cat, dog, mama & 
dad of course!, & wussat? are just a few. I don't say all of these 
all the time, though. And there are some words I've said once and that 
was all (like duck, bat , etc). I guess I do talk alot for my age 
but that's probably cuz my mom never shuts up and only doesn't talk to 
me if I'm sleeping!

  I love all kinds of food and am starting to use a spoon a tiny bit. I'm 
also using a cup lots more, but I'm having a little trouble with it. Mom 
says that's ok, and I'll learn someday. And until I do she just gives 
me drinks when I'm thirsty. I now have twelve teeth to help me chew! 
And I also have my "fangs" that have been trying so hard to come in.

   Well, that is all the updates for now. My mommy will update again when
I have my 15 month appt in May! (But she is always putting new pics 
up, so check back whenever you can!!)
