By the time you read this you'll know your old mom pretty well & know that with your birthday party less than a month away, I'm busy planning, planning, planning! Your first birthday is going to be extremely bittersweet for me. I'm so happy you're growing up to be a happy, healthy little girl... but some days I just want to keep you a baby forever. Definitely something you'll understand when you're a mom someday!
You're turning into such a sweet (and laid back) little lady. Your dad and I commented earlier today about how you seriously couldn't get any sweeter! Usually all we have to do is pucker up & you immediately lean in for a kiss. And man, do you have some thick skin! Caroline has a terrible habit right now of stealing toys right out of your hands -- and you never get upset. You just move on to something else or try to steal it back!
Your little legs get stronger everyday -- right now you cruise along furniture with ease & occasionally let go. I've seen you stand up in the middle of a room (no assistance) twice and each time you look shocked & then fall right on your butt. You're getting there! If there's one thing I've learned as a mom it's not to rush these milestones. You'll walk in your own time. For now you can crawl around the house very quickly & are definitely keeping up with your big sister that way!
In the food department you are a fan of basically everything we've had you try! You currently love scrambled eggs, crackers, mashed potatoes, peas, Cheerios, Reese's Puffs cereal (not the healthiest, but we thought it was appropriate to get you a box!), carrots, avocado, toast, yogurt & you even indulged in some chocolate on your first Halloween!
Speaking of Halloween, your sister got to pick your costume this year! A few months ago she told us that she wanted to be Santa Claus and wanted you to be a reindeer. We thought it was a super cute idea, but figured she'd change her mind a million times before Halloween. Nope! Almost every house we trick or treated at commented on how cute the costumes were!
You have your one year check up next month, so I'll post your weight/length stats after that. But you're currently fitting in 12 month & 18 month clothes! Your closet is a pretty good mix of both sizes. You're still in size 3 diapers but I think you'll probably move up in the next month or so.
Here are some recent pictures... we love you, Reese Cup!
