From baby to Toddler

I can not believe a year has already gone by. I feel like it was just last week that they put my sweet baby on my chest and I gave her the first of many kisses. These memories are still so tender. Brent and I have been so abundantly blessed with a beautiful, healthy and adorable child. We are so thrilled so be her parents.  We have spent the last week reminiscing, it is so unfair how fast time goes by when you have a baby. Each night we look at her newborn pictures all of the videos and just melt over our adorable baby.

On her first birthday she is 17 pounds and 29 1/2 inches long.

•  says "mama", "dada" "hi" and chatters long sentences we can't wait to understand. 
• changes what she likes to each on a daily basis
• like to feed herself but will still allow me to feed her. 
• she loves pasta with any sauce.
• wears 9 month clothes but moving into 12 month clothes
• Loves to play with her kitchen and play food
• still loves to look at books and listen to stories
• sleeps 12 hours at night and taking 2 naps a day (the first is 2-3 hours the second is 30 min-1.5 hours)
• waves "hi" but doesn't know"bye"(I don't want her to get sad we we leave and people say bye)
• still nursing, working on weaning. still has her "plug/pacifier" in the car and bed. 

Genivieve took her first steps January 4th. She loves her new stroller and baby she got for her birthday. She is so determined to play with her stroller she worked all day and by that evening she was walking.the stroller doesn't support her weight the the walker/car but she loves her stroller so much she can balance and push it much to her delight! I love that she loves her baby, hugs it and plays with is so well. She is going to be such a good helper one day when she is a big sister.
