Dear Vera: 16 month baby

Dear Vera, You would think that 16 months wouldn’t be so different from 15 months, but it seems like you’ve grown so much in such a short period of time. You are physically bigger, you have more hair (turning blonder and blonder this summer), and…

Dear Vera: 15 month baby

Dear Vera, We’re one day late with your birthday post, but since it’s the holiday weekend, we had friends here last night and you got to play with some of your friends too! We all went to the zoo and you absolutely loved it. The…

Dear Vera: 14 Month Baby

Dear Vera, You’re fourteen months old today and you’ve had some big changes this month. The biggest by far is the fact that you can walk now! It literally just happened one day. All of a sudden you went from standing to walking and now…

Dear Vera: 13 months

Dear Vera: 11 Month Baby

Dear Vera, You’re getting to be such a big girl these days. It’s so funny to see you start to understand things and imitate what you see. You can clap on command now, and you love to dance. Anytime you hear music, you start waving…

Dear Vera: 10 Month Baby

Dear Vera, You’re ten months old now. Creeping up on a year and I can hardly believe it. You’re crawl-scooting all over the place and we have to watch you constantly to make sure you haven’t put some random item in your mouth. You have…

Dear Vera: 9 Month Baby

Dear Vera, Your birthday was really yesterday, but since we spent the day overeating at family Thanksgiving festivities, I didn’t get a chance to sit down and write this until today. It was your first thanksgiving and you were the center of attention. Also, you…

Dear Vera: 8 month baby

Dear Vera, Eight months old today and you are getting so big! You still aren’t crawling, but I’m not worried about you. I know you’ll get there when you get there. Your dad thinks you’ll be walking before you crawl, as you can already stand…
