Baby Girl -
Wow - I can't believe we are at the tail end of your 1st year. So much has happened and you have changed and grown so much! I think I'm in a little bit of denial that you'll be a toddler in less than a month.
We celebrated your 1st Christmas over the weekend. Well, you actually had two full weekends of family Christmas's since our family is so big. You definitely have the idea of how to open presents, and love tearing off little pieces and just playing with those. As soon as you'd get something open enough you'd have to peak inside to see what it was. And honestly, you didn't want to play with anything you got, your sissy's toys and our gifts seemed so much more interesting to you.
Your top two teeth have popped through for a grand total of 4! You are sleeping through the night still and taking two naps a day. I've switched you to mostly formula as my supply was dropping and now only nurse you first thing in the morning. I enjoy our mornings snuggling in bed. Your current favorite foods are peas, chicken nuggets, hot dogs & cheese. You love the orange Gerber juices the most!
You still won't stand by yourself, which also means no walking yet! Which is A-OK with me! You of course pull yourself up on anything or anyone to walk around. And you can "run" from one side of the couch to the other so fast it's crazy! Some of your favorite toys to play with are your wooden pull alongs, your rocking horse at Mimi & Pappy's, & the plush play sets you and your sister got for Christmas. Also, Daddy says stuff your not supposed to, like computer cords, tearing through your sister's games and getting out every piece of them - actually, anything of your sisters really!
Daddy calls you a tank because when you want something there is no stopping you. You charge ahead and attack it, usually me! You give the cutest lovings, in bed in the mornings you'll either dig your head against ours or throw it back into us. Sometimes they hurt if we're not watching when you throw yourself backwards - lols. Anytime someone goes in the basement you love to look through the pet hole in the door and talk to whoever is down there. You play peek-a-boo a lot now, sometimes even pulling your own shirt up over your face to hide.
I look forward to this last month of your babyhood and celebrating your turning 1 in a BIG way with all of our loved ones and friends! You are so loved little girl and bring such joy to our lives!
Love,
The Mama
