Dear Jack,
I accidentally forgot to write a letter for month 12. I guess we were so busy doing things like TURNING ONE, that it slipped my mind. Your first birthday was a great treat. Grandma and Grandpa helped us celebrate, as well as Aunt Gigi. Aunt Gigi feels a little guilty about her present to you since it seemed to scare you more than make you happy, but I’m sure by Christmas time you’ll be ready for your Tickle Me Elmo. You had an Elmo themed birthday, complete with Elmo cupcakes and three Elmo dolls. You were a little apprehensive of the cupcakes at first, but once daddy showed you how you could eat them, you were more comfortable digging in. I can’t believe my little boy is one!
Over the past two months, you have gotten four molars (ack! And ouch!) and have started to take about 10 to 12 steps on your own. You are pretty good at judging just how far you can walk on your own and will only attempt it if mommy or daddy are there to receive you. Otherwise, you’d rather cruise along the furniture and walls to get where you are going or crawl. I’m both excited and nervous for the day that you will be walking on your own. Excited because you look so proud when you take steps on your own, nervous because I know that you will experience falls and bruises in your effort to learn.
You were also baptized this past month. Grandma and Grandpa Karras came down from the Cape to see the ceremony, as well as your Aunt Sammy and Uncle Jim, who became your Godparents. You had a great time playing with your cousins and learned how to give your first hug to your cousin Mia.
Other things that you love to do are to point to things, wave (although not necessarily to say hello or goodbye, but just because you feel like it), and sleep through the night. I think the last one has been the nicest treat for me!
We love you, Little Bear!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

It has been a busy time the last two months. And Jack just gets cuter and cuter.
