Standing up on your own

Such a big girl!

Pushing your bee around

Playing in your playroom

Hanging out with daddy

Ok, my baby is just growing up WAY too fast! I know we all say that but REALLY..it is mind blowing. I can not even grasp the fact that I will have a one year old in a month. I have been putting off planning E's party for a while now and finally broke down and got invitations ordered this week. I am in total denial!

To my sweet baby girl,

You have become my little buddy lately! You were never a cuddler and I have to admit, it made me a little sad, but you are making up for it now :) You cling to me and hold me close and I just love it! You are so much fun to be around and always put me in a good mood. There is never a morning that I don't get excited to get you out of bed and see that precious face of yours. You are usually waiting for me..standing up, hands on the the rail, smiling, and bouncing up and down. There is NEVER a time I come and get you and you are in a bad mood in the morning. It is awesome! My favorite part of the day, by far!

You jibber jabber constantly! You mainly say "dada" or "dadeeeeee" ( in a high pitched squeel) over and over again. Then you go through "Duh", "AhhEeee", and "Na" for our dogs. You say "Nana" when you want me or are hungry (it is one in the same :) You have said "mama" and "bye-bye" but not more than a couple of times. You are waving hi and bye bye to everyone and everything! A car drives by, you wave...a dog barks from across the street, you wave!! So cute. You are so close to walking on your own but you still would rather crawl or hold mommy and daddy's hands. You are not too interested in your toys right now since all you want to do is walk around furniture or play outside. You are a great eater and devour whatever I put in front of you. You also share your food with Daddy and me. Yum Yum! You are SO big and I can not keep clothes around that fit you. I had to go shopping AGAIN and bought 18 month clothes. It made me so sad but I am glad I have such a healthy baby! 

Some of your funnier moments are when you throw yourself around when you don't get what you want. It is pretty comical. You are quite dramatic and always needing attention. You are a daredevil and scare me to death several times a day. When we were in Sedona, you staretd this thing where you throw yourself backwards and land on your back. You were doing it over and over again on the bed and we just thought it was a riot. Well, you now have done it on the hardwood floors (not fun!), off of the couch ( I caught ya!) and in my arms...crashing into my head (ouch!) Needless to say, we are not laughing when you do it anymore! 

Everyone always talks about how happy you are and I get asked all of the time if you are always that way! YES, YES, YES! You are such an amazing little girl and daddy and I just know you have so many wonderful things to come in your life. You are so special and have a spirit that is full of such happiness and love. I am so glad you are mine! You are my world and I love you so much!
