- Right now, she is crawling like crazy. It is funny to watch her chase after something, usually her brothers. She is getting so fast. I can be getting into a cupboard and before I know it she is right in there with me, trying as fast as she can to grab whatever is in there before I can close the door.
- Right now she will pull herself up on anything she can, has not tried to let go yet though. She is very cautious and will only do things she knows she can do.
- Right now she loves to be thrown in the air, or spun around until she is dizzy. I think it is funny because when she was a newborn, if you stood up too fast she would panic; now she is a total thrill seeker. Disneyland here we come baby!
- Right now she still prefers her bottle to most foods but definitely wants to eat whatever anyone around her is eating. She just tonight fed herself spaghetti. It was everywhere by the time she finished and definitely needed a bath.
- Right now she is putting more and more things together. You can tell she knows what is going to happen next, and she likes to see how many times she can do something with me still thinking it is funny. I almost always think it is funny.
- Right now she will get mad if you take something away from her. That girl can whip out the crocodile tears fast when she knows it will work, she can also turn them off fast when she knows it is useless.
- Right now she thinks silly things are silly. She can tell when something is not normal and will laugh at it, which is nice because we don’t have to act like total idiots anymore to hear her precious laugh. She now laughs more freely.
- Right now she gives kisses, but only on her terms. She is an independent girl that way. You can’t get her to do something she does not want to do.
- Right now she loves to be on the move. She is loving being able to do more and explore more. She prefers for us to be in the same room as her but does not need to be held quite as much anymore. It is nice and sad at the same time. Time needs to slow down just a bit.
- Right now she has a snuggly blanket that she rubs on her face until she falls asleep, which she has never wanted us to rock her to sleep. She has been so good putting herself to sleep. Sometimes I do wish she would sleep in my arms more.
- Right now she is a total daddy’s girl. Once Kent walks through the door, she wants nothing to do with anyone else and will crawl as fast as she can to greet him. He of course loves it.
- Right now she loves bath time. In fact any time she can be in the water. Over the summer, she loved going to the pool as well. Definitely a water baby. She squeals and splashes and has a great time. It is so fun to watch. It is funny because as soon as I walk into the bathroom and open the curtain she practically starts undressing herself and jumps up and down knowing what comes next.
- Right now if you say jump, jump, jump, she will jump, with a huge smile. She also will giggle until she is breathless on the trampoline.
- Right now she still babbles like crazy, no words yet. Well just mama and dada. She of course said dada first, so I would try so hard to get her to say mama. She would laugh and shake her head no. Little stinker. Everyone else thought it was quite funny too. Thankfully she will say mama now.
- Right now, and always have, we get stopped everywhere we go by people commenting on how beautiful she is. She knows it too.
- Right now we still have not captured a smile on camera. She just is still very cautious with new people and new things. The girl does not need to smile for a camera to capture her beauty though
Happy Birthday baby girl!
