Where has the time gone? My baby is now 1! I can't believe it's gone by so fast - I feel like she was just born! And yet, I cannot remember our lives without this little ray of sunshine (I think it had more sleep in it....). She fills my heart with happiness.
Just this last week we moved her into size 6-9 month clothes, and now her pants are about the right length. Size 3 diapers, 3 shoes, usually 2 naps a day unless we're out and about.
She went to the dr on her birthday for her checkup and vaccines. She weighs about 17.5 lbs (15-20th percentile) and is right around the 50th percentile for height and head circumference. She's growing beautifully.
She can stand! She doesn't like to do it very often, but we can trick her into doing it. She can also take a few steps on her own, again, if we trick her into it. She is pretty content to just crawl around and be carried. She likes to walk around holding on to furniture and hands, but doesn't really see the point of doing it on her own yet, and I'm ok with that. If she doesn't walk, she's still a baby, right? RIGHT? Right.
Her little golden curls are my favorite. I play with them all day long.
She's got 8 teeth now - her bottom one finally came in after being at 7 teeth for a couple months. She's got a nice even number now.
She likes to babble but doesn't have any words yet. Occasionally we'll get a "mamamamama" out of her or a "dah......dah", but not very often. We've started trying to incorporate a little bit of baby sign and she thinks that it's pretty cool that she can communicate with us a little bit.
She's still a snuggler and lover and nuzzler and it's my favorite. She now loves to give "besos" or "kisses" - it's adorable! Wide open mouth kisses upon request and out of the blue, so sweet!
She loves to wave at people all the time - at the grocery store, on our walk, at church. That toothy little grin with her underbite and little hand frantically flapping is about the cutest thing you'll ever see.
She's really started to explore and learn about the world around her. She likes to get into a lot of things and figure stuff out.
Overall, she's pretty chill and easy going.
She and Evette have been "playing" together a lot more now and it's so fun to see them love each other so much. As Evette tells us, they're best friends, and that makes my heart happy.
Here's some pictures from Evette's 1 year old birthday shoot. We have this first one printed off on a canvas and we'll pick one from Miriam's birthday to print and put next to it. My two sweet girls.
Miriam is a joy and light in our lives. Happy birthday sweet one! I'm so lucky to be your Momma.
