Your new favorite word is "art." You've been my museum buddy since you were 10 months old, but now you actually say what you love to look at so much. You're drawn to vibrant colors and beautiful shapes, pictures of people. I point and say, "look at all the pretty colors." You’ll nod your head, squint your eyes and scrunch your nose up in agreement. You’re also walking now. Or should I say running. This has been going on for a month or so now. I was blessed enough to be right there with you when you took your first steps. You enjoy dancing and although you can’t fully talk, you’ll sing along with “na-na-na’s” to the tune of whatever song is on. We need to get in the pool more now that it’s summer. You love playing in the water (even if it’s the cat’s). We’re planning a trip to San Diego soon. I want to show you as much culture as I can from an early age. You’re already quite the jet setter. You’ve flown through Texas, to Florida for our family vacation to the Gulf of Mexico and a couple areas of Orlando and to San Francisco where you enjoyed SFMOMA and Haight-Ashbury with me. Can’t wait to see what this next year brings for us. Excited for the future.
Yours,
Mama
