12 Months

Lucia you are 12 months now, almost 13. You’ve become a funny little girl, always granting us with this big smile of yours. You started walking some days before you turned one. Suddenly you decided you wanted to, so you stood up and gave your first steps without requiring any help at all. It was amazing. You knew you could, and so you did, on your own. You were so happy when we all cheered at you!

And now, no one can stop you. The fence we bought is useless now, you need to be able to wander all aver the house. I’m still a bit concerned about the stairs. You climb up easily, but for going down you always call for help, that’s good!

Still just two teeth, but I think the upper ones are on there way. The doctor told us to start using the toothbrush. You find that quite amusing, and so do I. We hear lots of “mama”, “dededede”, sometimes “papa” and some other stuff of your own. It’s really funny to see you speaking and singing. No clue what you say, but I wish I’d understood. Sometimes it looks as if you said “veux”, “I want” in French, but really, who knows…

You are 9.4 kilos and 71.5cm. Your appetite is still the same, voracious. You like almost everything. You go nuts with cheese and bread; and it seems you enjoy the “jamon pata negra” very much (but doctor says we should about pork meat until you’re older) Well, a bit wont do you wrong, right?

We still go to the pool once a week and we are now searching for a nursery; is time for you to start playing with other children. It will be more fun than with adults, believe me.

People are asking us when we’ll go for number 2. Jezzz! Don’t know if we are ready? Are you, for a little sis or bro?
