Sunshine!!!

Again- I really can't believe she is a year old!!!

To celebrate- again- I took her out to a pretty little clearing with some spring wild flowers and snapped some pics! I should have probably waited until Colby could have gone with me because she wasn't too happy about the whole situation. We stayed for a total of ten minutes because she had had ENOUGH!!! But I think we got some kinda cute ones!!!

(Despite the fact that she wouldn't smile!)

"Mom- seriously!! I don't like this!!"

I have to say- I know I'm biased but- her lips are so gorgeous!!

The only time she was happy was when she picked the flower- ha ha!!

I love all the different baby shoes!!! Even though she can't really maneuver in these- I still love them!!

Things she is doing at ONE!!!

She has walked a total of 10 steps by herself but she's definitely not WALKING yet!

She is eating EVERYTHING!

She just cut her third tooth yesterday- the top right one-

She gives Charlie hugs-

Instead of giving high fives- she likes to touch pointer fingers.

Her hair is constantly in her eyes when I don't have it pulled back.

She pulls everything out of her cupboard- the one with all of her dishes, bottles, and food.

She loves books.

We have been struggling with a sore bum for weeks now- it comes on fast when we have fed her green food like her beloved green beans.

She'll drink from a sippy cup if it's chocolate milk-

She still scrunches her nose and breathes really fast- I need to video it! It's so funny!

She is definitely a Daddy's girl.

There is so much more that I think about- then I can't remember them when I sit down to blog- I need to start writing them down RIGHT when I think of them!

Happy Easter!

It was a little weird having Easter so late this year- so she didn't even have an Easter within her first year! It's so fun having a little one to celebrate with!

Colby made smoothies yesterday and she LOVED them!!!

Here's the evidence....

Sportin her new shades!

Love her cute lil Easter dress!

Her dad put the floppy hat on wrong so she kinda resembles Gilligan in this pic!

Now Charlie gets to sport the floppy hat!

It's so hard not to go overboard for every holiday!! Especially when there are so many cute things out there!

Happy Easter to all!

oNe.

Wait what???

Will you please repeat that?? ONE??!!

Then we ventured out into the back yard to visit the other birthday girl!

story- read here.

Whew- I need a drink Dad!

and it was a day. quite a day. oh the things i would do for this lil girl!

Spring- please come so we can play outside??!!

Yeah I'm a little late on the whole "11 months" post seeing how my munchkin will be 1 YEAR old next weekend! CRAZY!! We are having so much fun with her spunky lil attitude!

Things she can do at 11 Months:

*motors around the furniture

~throws temper tantrums! haha

*opens EVERY cupboard she can

~she runs (crawls) really fast away from me

*loves her big people food! All of it- we haven't found anything she doesn't love

~she is obsessed with animals! She loves the horses at my mom and dad's- any dog- and she really wanted to pet the full-body mount of the giant grizzly in Ace

*she jabber jabber jabbers constantly! I swear she thinks she is telling the greatest stories!

~she is so independent- she loves to just play by herself- especially outside- she cries when we try to bring her back inside because her hands are cold and her nose is dripping (ew)!

*she loves balls- she plays her kind of soccer with her hands- she'll swat it away and chase after it

~she loves having AT LEAST 3 binkies in her crib- one for the mouth and one for each hand- just so she can swap them out every now and again- after she wakes up in the morning or after her nap she throws them all out!

*as of this week- she is officially on whole milk all the time- i had been mixing it with the breastmilk to get her used to it- but she took right to it!

~we have loved the time change because she will still go to be around 8 but she sleeps till somewhere between 8 and 9! She is still taking two naps (thank goodness)

----------------------

One of mine and Colby's favorite things to do before we go to bed is we go check on her and see what crazy position she has fallen asleep in- this one was last night!

She is the QUEEN of crazy hairdos!

Last week while I was at work, I called to check on my two favorite people and Colby told me it was an especially rough night- she was MAD! This is a pic he snapped that depicts her attitude! I think its HILARIOUS!!

Oh the bink- what would we do without it!

Oh my- I love this lil lady!
