Oh yeah, I forgot...
15 years ago
I like to walk. I even cheer myself on yelling "go! go! go!" as I walk.
Sometimes, I forget that I haven't yet walked by myself. What is this? A flower? Must stretch out a little further to touch it...
Mostly, I haven't walked yet because I am a very cautious little girl. I'm just not ready to let go of mom and dad.
On the other hand, I do other things. I like to smooch. I make a big mmmmmmmm sound and then go in for a wet one.
I feed myself just about anything I can get my hands on. I try to use the spoon sometimes when mom isn't paying attention but that is trickier than it looks.
I am saying all sorts of things. "What's that?" "Hello!" "Sasson." "Go!" "Mama." "Dada." "Nite, nite." "Bye, bye." "Blast off!" "Row, row, row" (your boat). And other stuff that I can't remember right now.
It's my birthday today and I am ONE! I can hardly sit still to take a photo because the world is so interesting and fun.
But I am getting very tall and I speak too. I say 'mama,' 'dada,' 'nitenite,' 'peekaboo,' 'ssss' (for Saxon) and my personal favorite 'hello'.
I love to say 'hello.' Every morning when my mom comes in the get me up, I say to her over and over, "hello, hello, hello!" I say it to Saxon and my dad and even Kari. I say hello to myself in the mirror. Who knew that "hello" could be such a useful word?
Saxon has promised me cupcakes later for my little party this afternoon. Stay posted for more birthday photos!
opens the door and...
I managed to eat two whole cupcakes and take significant bites out of three others in less than 10 minutes!
