First time playing in the snow!

I love co sleeping <3

Your first official tree trimming with Mommy and Daddy

Last year we just had a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree that we put on top of all your presents- this year we knew you'd enjoy it!! 

We love you so, so much!!

And as a quick review of the last 3/4 months since the last blog post, you know red, blue, yellow, and are using 3-4 word sentences! Grandma is still "mama" and Grandpa is "papa" and you are 100% adorable.

You recognize letters now!

The day before yesterday you pointed to a B in your cousin Sabra's bedroom and proudly proclaimed, "B!" but I thought that just maybe it was a coincidence or something... Then this morning you brought me the B from your fridge alphabet magnet set and yelled "Beeeeeeeeeeee!"

You officially recognize the letter B! So exciting! I can't believe how fast you're growing and developing. I'm so proud of you! I love you so much!

Love,
MomMY (because lately you've been calling me Mom and you're too young for that! I'm still Mommy!)

Your first complete sentence!

We were sitting in the yesterday, in the driver's seat (nursing) when you noticed people walking by across the street. You popped your head out the window and shouted to them, "I see you!"

Hahahaha

:-( Sad night for mommy...

Tonight was the first time you fell asleep without nursing :'(

No nap?!?!?!?!?!

So today was the first day you've gone all.day.long. without a nap! Don't let this happen again!

17 months

You officially know where your head, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, teeth, fingers, hands, toes and feet are. And you climbed up onto an ottoman today... Your first time climbing! You're growing so fast... It's hard accepting the fact that our baby girl is gone and is now a full blown toddler!

You're so cute it's a little gross haha

Watch "Narcissism" on YouTube

You took your first steps today!

I'm going to try to get video if I can get you to do it again! I'm so proud of you, honey. I love you so much!

You're growing too quickly! Stop!

Sweetheart, you drank from a juicebox today. As far as I knew you hadn't yet figured out how to suck through a straw yet... But you saw my juice, asked for it by signing and saying "more" then pointing to it... I put the straw to your mouth and you guzzled it! When in the world did you learn how to drink like a big girl???

We have so many pictures and videos to upload to this blog. We celebrated your first birthday at Grandma's house a couple days ago. I made layered strawberry cake with filling made from strawberry preserves that your Great Aunt Barbara Griggs made. You loved it, but I think your favorite part was when everyone sang Happy Birthday to you!!

I love you so much it oozes from my pores. I can't wait to share this blog with you one day. Yay to Dad for creating it!

Bye for now-

Mom
