1 year old!


One year ago the pic on the left is what I had in my arms...a sweet, cuddly, sleeping newborn.  The pic on the right is what I now have, an ever happy, walking, adorable 1 year old.  I would like to know when she grew up...and when this change took place, because seriously, I have a hard time remembering the newborn in the picture on the left...and I suppose in a year I'll have a hard time remembering the 1 year old on the right.  Here's the lowdown on the 1 year in the picture on the right... so that I remember this come next year.

Fav. food is beef and noodle and ice cream (but only when fed to her by daddy)
Loves: the vaccum: its basically her best friend, she giggles at it and likes to chase it.  I've only ever heard of babies and kids hating the vaccum, but she loves it!, she loves to read: all books over and over and over.  (Just FYI: Board books do not feeel good when dropped on my toe or popped over my head...), she loves juice (preferably prune juice...ewww!).  She also loves to play fetch with herself and Duke's tennis balls...she also loves to play fetch with Duke too:)  She loves to swing, she would swing for hours and hours and hours.  A swing set is gonna be in her future!

She broke herself of being rocked to sleep, a habit that I created when I started staying home FT...then one week she just decided she just wanted to be put into bed and go to sleep herself.  She's a big people person (the opposite of me...) when we go out she's all about smiling and laughing at people and lil kids...all she wants to do is play with other kids when she's out around them! 

She has made me a better person, without a doubt. And she has singlehandly made me an even bigger believer in God.  How can one not believe in God after seeing this miracle named Belle?  Only God could make this itty bitty newborn into this sweet lil toddler a year (just a year) later!
