You and me? We're a lot alike. Just like me, your happy temper can go from 0 to 60 in about a millisecond. I don't blame you - we just know what we like, right Peanut?
Despite your persistence, you have blossomed into such a cutie and are quick to smile and laugh. My heart swells each evening when I get home from work - you are always smiley and happy to see me. You love waving your chubby baby hand whenever we say, "bye-bye," dancing to music, racing with your sister around the coffee table and bouncing on Lucy (our dog). You know three words, "dada," "uh-oh," and "hello." I am patiently waiting for the day you say, "momma."
Your appetite is surprising amazing! You were quick to reject baby food, and I love how open you already are about trying new foods. I hope that continues because Momma would love a partner to experience all types of global cuisine.
You can play independently pretty well but prefer being in the same room as your big sis. She makes you smile the most, we get such joy watching you two play together. I hope your sisterly bond will continue into adulthood. When you're not admiring your sis, you are trying to climb up my leg. You are absolutely a momma's girl. Don't tell anyone, but I secretly love it since your sister is such a daddy's girl.
Here we are, at one year old and only two teeth. You are crawling and attempting to take steps. This isn't my first rodeo as a parent...so I'm not pushing you to do anything. I know you will achieve it all in your own time.
Because Momma works, evenings are something I will always hold close to my heart. You peacefully nurse, looking up at me with your amazing big blue eyes and will pull away ever so often just to give me a big grin or squeeze my index finger with your fingers. It makes me melt every night and I cannot imagine life without you in our family. You have filled my heart in a spot I didn't even know existed until you came along.
Baby girl, I love you. I tell you that about 50 times a day when I cover you with kisses and I have no intentions of ever stopping. You're our Peanut, our Holly Bawl-y and Maddi's Sissy. You make us all smile. Thank you for bringing our family such immense joy.
Cheers to your first year, little lady. I hope the year ahead fills you with courage, curiosity and plenty of moments that make you giggle.
