Young lady.

You didn't start crawling until June of this year, at 10 months, and now, just after your first birthday, you started walking. You couldn't turn until the month of September, but by the end of the month you were tearing it up and going quite fast (and falling down and forcing me to restrain a giggle as I told you to just "shake it off.")

You know how to give high-fives (dame cinco, I think, en espanol) and you respond equally to your mother's ever-improving Spanish and my mumbly-mouthed English.

Disposition-wise, you generally smile and are content to play by yourself, though you have the same odd fascination with all things electronic.

This, you share with your big brother.

We had to move you to size five diapers, which your brother never used, as your growth seems to have no limits. Mummy took you to the doctor and you are 97th percentile for height, 99th for weight, and 97th for your head size (that would be my fault.)
