Hello Love,
We are closing in on your one year mark and I can't believe it, where did this time go?
No idea!
I have been looking forward to this month for a while.... the reason being, we had your birthday party memorial day weekend.
Your Oma, Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Andrew all came up for the party. I was so excited... you on the other hand were not.
I thought we planned everything perfectly, you went down for your nap with no problem, the food was made and decorations ready to go. You woke up from your nap on your own, got dressed, took you to the shelter house and that was it. As soon as you crossed the threshold you started crying, and you cried the whole day. Screamed too, I thought singing happy birthday to you was going to set you off but nope, as soon as we started, your tears stopped. You were a smash cake CHAMP!!!!
You were a little hesitant of your Oma and Aunt Jen, I didn't think them being in your face helped, but i get it. You have the most kissble cheeks in the world.
I looked over at you the other day and you look like a toddler, your body has changed, you are loosing your baby chunk and are becoming long and lean.
We changed up the playroom area, as much as I hate seeing toys in the living room, but you now have tons of room and you cruise girl! Standing is a favorite of yours and you can now stand for a few seconds on your own.
On the eating front, I am happy to report that we haven't found many things that you don't like, you weren't a fan of broccoli or blueberries. We found two new loves for you though, 1. Pancakes, lawd have mercy girl you love pancakes. You have them pretty much every morning. 2. Pineapple juice, we ordered it on a whim while out at a restaurant and you would have thought it was the sweet nectar of life.
One thing you have learned and love is that if you drop food on the floor, the dogs come running. You are now on a power trip, even if the dogs aren't there... its frustrating but also hilarious. You just drop the food and smile, sometimes giggle.
Your new favorite love is water, we were hoping that you would be a water baby and that you are. Your lips were turning blue when we went to the pool, you got out warmed up and got right back in. We are so excited for the pool to go up so you can swim all day this summer.
My love you are so busy that I can't get you to sit still long enough to read or do any work on colors and numbers. I feel that you are making up for lost time, all those long months waiting to be mobile. I am still betting on you walking by 14 months, your daddy and grammy think you will be walking by your first birthday. We shall see.
I love you bug and I am so happy I get this time with you and get to see you discover and play.
Hugs and kisses little one.
Love,
Mommy.
