1 yr…
and inside the blink of a watch, she went from a snuggly little one, to a full-up toddler.
A little bit of journey by way of memory lane:
and now, chances are you’ll sometimes uncover Miss P chasing her sister spherical the house, belly-laughing, repeating phrases, sharing precise hugs and kisses, and gently petting Bella.
12 points about 12 months:
12 months is…
1) Curious and wild, however serene and sweet. She is into each half, as widespread, nonetheless will nonetheless stop and supplies me a hug, or pet Bella on one of the simplest ways to her subsequent trip spot.
2) Precise hugs and sloppy kisses. P has been giving *precise* hugs for pretty a while, and there’s nothing desire it when she reaches over to enthusiastically wrap every arms spherical you.
3) Listening to secrets and techniques and strategies from her biggest buddy, understanding she’ll have the flexibility to participate rapidly. Liv and P already have an unimaginable connection, and I actually like watching them play collectively. I actually really feel like every day Liv will practice her one factor new, or uncover that P can do one factor. “MOM P CAN ‘HOO’ LIKE AN OWL AND IT WAS AMAZING!”
4) Dancing, clapping, and stomping toes. Usually all three on the an identical time.
5) Already strolling over to take bites from my oatmeal. It always makes me smile when she crawls or toddles over to have a little bit little bit of what I’m consuming, much like her giant sis.
6) Splashing inside the tub and kicking her toes like crazy. She loves the water so much, and might splash with wild abandon. I can’t even inform her to stop on account of she’s completely drenching me, on account of it’s the cutest ever.
7) Snuggles on the couch whereas she drinks her bottle. I’m pretty sure we now have been presupposed to transition to a sippy cup at 1? And start to work in complete milk (which I’m nonetheless terrified to supply her)? Yeah, every haven’t occurred however.
8) Talking and babbling up a storm! She’s been ready to say a handful of phrases for a while, nonetheless her vocabulary continues to develop and she is going to even say some 2-syllable phrases (meh-med = mermaid, little one, Caro, snug, apple, mee mow = Minnie Mouse).
9) Music and singing! Music class continues to be her very favorite, and she or he happily bangs on the drum, sings alongside, and shakes the maracas vigorously. I was contemplating maybe the coach thought P is older than she is -she’s off the charts for height- on account of we now have been moved up into the older infants’ class. Then I seen… she is an older little one now. After which I cried.
10) Consuming all the points. We nonetheless love sharing new meals and flavors with Miss P, and have gotten barely further adventurous since her birthday. Some new faves are pasta, turkey meatballs, fajitas, smoothies, and bites of meals that knowingly have dairy. Knock on wood, it seems to be okay to date.
11) Having fun with! She’s really into puzzles and blocks; points she is going to put collectively and take apart.
A couple of of P’s favorite toys:
12) On the switch. P can stroll fast. She’s like an ultimate power walker, and has a superb huge stance, which is equally beautiful and hilarious. She nonetheless crawls typically, nonetheless it seems as if strolling is the favored mode of journey.
With every girls, I spent quite a lot of my being pregnant praying that they’d be protected and healthful, and imaging what they’d be like. Would they’ve their daddy’s eyelashes (YES)? Would they’ve my hair (yep!)? Would they be quiet and introverted like me, or outgoing and charismatic like their dad? Every appear to be the latter for now. It’s humorous, on account of every girls have fully shocked us within the easiest method potential. They’re solely bits of what we’ve anticipated, and better than we imagined. Whereas the earlier 12 months have been troublesome and a bit rocky, I’d do all of it as soon as extra in a second to have this lovebug proper right here with us.
Proper right here’s barely video I made to share with household and buddies on her birthday whenever you’d like to have a look at. It’s been a few weeks and I nonetheless can’t make it by way of the whole factor with out crying.
