Louise Newsletter Month: 12

Louise - today you turn 1-year-old! Man that went so fast! I know everyone says that but seriously it is true. We affectionately call you Hurricane Weez sometimes because whatever is left out within your reach the night before is quickly thrown around once you are up. So before bed your daddy and I do a quick clean-up to avoid Hurricane Weez destruction =) You are full of mischief and we fear we will be practicing constant vigilance over the next several months. We also realize it will only get worse when you start walking. The other day I was loading some stuff into the car and left you behind in the kitchen. I thought I had closed the screen door until I heard you shout, "ah". I turned to see that you managed to crawl out the backdoor and down the first two-steps. I sprinted to get you and when I picked you up, you clapped for yourself. Nice...well played. Today, you climbed up Elliot's step-stool and swung your leg over the top rung to reach an apple and sharp knife on the cutting board. Constant vigilance... Last week, you learned to clap which you think is called, "yay Louise". You say 'bub-bye' and 'aw-dun' and almost 'baby'. You love to be chased while crawling, we love to hear you giggle. You especially love it when Elliot mimics you crawling or elephant walking. Weezy - you are such a light and a joy. Happiest of Birthdays to you! Love, Mama
