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

It's been a while!

Hi sweetie!

I was having phone problems so I couldn't post to this blog for a while. So much to catch up on!

You've blossomed into an amazing toddling tyke over the last few months... You said mama, then dada, then you started waving hello/goodbye and clapping your hands! A few weeks after that you started to throw a fit because you wanted food off my plate... When I asked you "how do we ask mommy for food?" You responded by saying "mamamama" and using the sign for "more!" Soon after that (a couple days?) you also started signing "all done" which has served you well!

You're trying to crawl but haven't quite gotten there yet... But you can pull yourself up to standing and just yesterday you cruised around the coffee table to come to me!!!

You have a photo shoot tomorrow in front of the Christmas tree at grandma and grandpa's for our Christmas card... We have a cute Santa dress around here somewhere but can't find it so Aunt Becky and I picked out another cute outfit for you to wear! I let Daddy pick out a hairstyle for you so I hope you like it. :-)

We're so excited to have our first Christmas together as a family. I love you so much, sweetie. You are my world.

Love,

Mama
