Eighteen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are eighteen months old. That’s a year and a half - we’re halfway to two already since your birthday, which doesn’t seem like it was all that long ago! You have 10 teeth now: two of your molars have poked through. Hey, if you get a couple more teeth in soon I [...]

Seventeen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are seventeen months old. Another month before you are officially one and a half! You’ve gained one of your top molars to bring your total number of teeth to nine, and you’re just on the verge of outgrowing a lot of your 12-18 month clothes.
What else is new this month? You have [...]

Sixteen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
You are sixteen months old today. I waffle between thinking that sounds so young and thinking that I should probably stop thinking of you as a baby.
I’m sorry to say that I’ve totally lost track of your words and your signs. You have so many at this point that it would probably be easier [...]

Fifteen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are fifteen months old, and what a big girl you’re becoming!
You are obsessed with Signing Time. Truly, truly obsessed. Every morning, the minute we come in from putting your sister on the bus, you ask for Signing Time. Every morning, I give in, so I can drink my coffee and eat my [...]

Fourteen Months Old
Dear Anna,
Yesterday you turned 14 months old. Somewhere in my feverish haze I vaguely realized it was the 12th, but then I had to take a nap. I feel slightly better today, so let’s see if I can make sense…
You are walking! Truly, truly walking, although you also still like to “bear walk” on your [...]

Thirteen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are a month older than one year old. My how the time is flying!
You are still not even remotely interested in taking even one single step for me. Not one! You would rather get down and crawl six inches and then stand back up then take one teeny-tiny little step to Mama. [...]

Twelve Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are a whole year old. It’s hard to believe how quickly this year has gone, but at the same time you really seem like you’ve been part of this family forever.
I can’t think of one new thing you’ve tried this month besides chocolate. (And truth be told, you’ve had a bit of [...]

Eleven Months Old!
Dear Anna,
One more month until the big first birthday! Time flies when you’re having fun!
You haven’t tried too many new foods this month, let’s see…tuna fish, raspberries, yellow beans and sunbutter (like peanut butter, only made with sunflower seeds). But you’ve tried many new table food versions of things you’ve had before. You adore Grandma’s [...]

Ten Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are 10 months old. Now it is most definitely time to start planning that birthday party of yours. As far as you’re concerned, as long as it involves chocolate cake you’ll be happy - we went to another baby’s birthday party last week and you were desperately trying to get that cake [...]

Nine Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Yesterday you turned 9 months old. As it was Easter Sunday we didn’t get a chance to take your monthly pictures, so we did them today. I can’t believe how quickly this first year is going by!
This has been an amazing month for you! Last month you could sit up if we put you [...]
