She did it. She turned 1. I was kinda hoping she wouldn't, but she did! She's 1!! We had a little family party with her on her birthday (Wednesday). A few presents, some singing, a candle, some cake, and that was it!
Bubb, Avie, and I picked up her cake in the morning, and ALL.DAY.LONG Bubb begged (begged!) me for a piece of it! It kinda made me mad! Then Port came home and asked for a piece! Really? You think we're going to cut up her birthday cake and hand out pieces before she even has her party and blows out her candle and gets "happy birthday" sung to her?!? Jeez! Hungry boys.
So she opened her presents first
(before she got all cake-y).
Then she had her cake.
...and she liked it
:]
She's not walking on her own yet. I guess she's kinda close. She loves to walk around like this...
...and along the furniture. Sometimes she'll get brave and let go of the couch for a second to switch to walking along the table. She stands all by herself for a few seconds at a time, but not too often. She pushes stuff (her lion walker, laundry baskets, big toys, etc). She's super busy!! Always taking stuff apart, pulling stuff out, putting stuff in, pushing buttons, switches. She "talks" a lot. It's baby babble. But it's lots of questions. Blegliglooglih??? And then she'll say almost the exact same thing again. It's funny. She says "uh oh" A LOT, and she seems to know what it means. She says it when she drops stuff, or throws something on the floor (which she does a lot!!), or when other people drop things, or when something/body falls. She waves bye, and claps when we do or when we all say "yea.". She is super smiley! She laughs alllll the time!! She gets the hiccups when she laughs too hard (just like Chloe), and when we keep going after her she squeals this really loud cute, happy little squeal. She's really demanding. She lets you know when she's not happy, or when she wants something-usually she squeals. She's pretty attached to her mama. She likes to be held, and she always has to see what's going on. She likes to play peek a boo, and she likes when I hold her facing out and chase the other kids around the house. She puts her hands up when we hide stuff and say "where'd it go?" She dances any time she hears music.
Her one year stats...
weight: 18lbs 12 oz (14th)
height: 30" (77th)
head circ.: 44.7cm (38th)
Happy Birthday to our Teeny Moo! We love her so much! She's such a sweet baby sister. She's so much fun, and we're so glad to have her in our family.
