Phoebe is doing so many amazing new things: cruising along the furniture, walking with support, just starting to stand unsupported, pointing, recognizing words (especially the pets' names!), taking naps in the stroller and car (finally!), drinking cow's milk, doing the "come here" gesture with her hands... she amazes us. She continues to be an excellent waver, waving at any friendly face -- or anything interesting that she sees! We go on at least two walks each day and we get really excited when we pass another doggie or a blow-up Santa. I'm a little embarrassed to say that Phoebe also gets really excited when we pull into the Target parking lot and she recognizes the bullseye - or the red carts - or both. A trip to Target usually means we share a grilled cheese sandwich at their Starbucks. Phoebe was an excellent Christmas shopping side kick. We thoroughly investigated the North Jersey retail scene together, we even made it to Walmart (hopefully not again soon - yeesh). Phoebe has four top teeth and two on the bottom. We go to a local music class and a puppet show each week. I am so lucky and grateful to be Phoebe's mom. We love you beyond words, Phoeb!!
