Bye, 2011.

The New Year is fast approaching. I am excited.

PP has been taking 3-5 independent steps every day now, she's so big. I am really excited to see all of her teachers next week! Before the break I spoke to each of them and they told me how excited they were to come back to work and see the progress PP has made. We have had a lovely time off from school, but it gets boring at home and we love our teachers. PP has definitely been making progress in the past two weeks! Besides walking, her sign language has improved and it's clear to see what she is trying to do with her hands. It's such a neat process! She has also been making more sounds verbally, and non-verbally. Now, PP likes to burp and fart intentionally and she thinks it's very funny! She has been adding more "B" and hard consonant sounds to her vocabulary. Pointing at things and asking for "help" is mostly how she communicates, along with high pitched screaming. Her laugh is still the same, and I hope it always stays that way. PP has the BEST laugh I have ever heard. I am not biased because I've heard that from everyone who hears her belly laugh!

This New Year promises to bring a lot of change to our family and I am so ready for it. I am going back to school, and Chris (quitting smoking almost a year ago) has a whole new outlook on his health, and PP has a lot of growing to do!


Happy freakin' New Year!
