How has it been a year that I was in shock about the way this little one came in to the world? Now it just seems part of her story, nothing unusual.
These past twelve months have been the fastest by far. I see so many tiny babies around and think "wow, how are we past that stage already?"
She has started hating bath time, which seems unusual for any child. We had her taking baths in the regular tub so I switched her back to the sink and she seems so much more happy. Maybe the larger tub was overwhelming? I have no idea.
Exploring the stairs has become a new interest to her. Ari is her biggest cheerleader and he is always right there to encourage her on.
Of course there is always playtime involved. She thinks he's hilarious.
She continues to point and say "eh-eh" when she wants something. She refuses to sign or communicate any other way.
She is loved by so many. Her cousins and siblings play with her and exercise much patience when she decides to overtake their toys.
She wasn't a big fan of getting her picture taken. Sundays are so hard because her nap schedule is not really a "schedule" like she's used to.
This picture really shows the relationship that Ari has with Selah. He is always loving on her and caring for her.
She finally got a taste of some sugary-goodness.
And not a crumb was wasted!
She would snuggle with grandma but would never fully give in to falling asleep.
We've been struggling with transitioning to other types of milk. She just won't take anything else. I tried liquid and powder formula, cows milk, and even almond milk. She will takes small sips of almond milk, but definitely doesn't drink what they say she should be taking in. I'm past the part of worrying about it since she still seems to be eating and sleeping just fine. It's hard to say what her favorite food is because she seems to enjoy most everything.
She is finally sleeping much better at night. I cut her down from 3 naps to 2 naps during the day, then AJ and I had her cry it out a few times. Now she sleeps 11 hours and usually only wakes up 1 time at night to find the paci. We've really enjoyed the extra sleep. :)
She is at an age where independence is highly favored by her. She will protest at the word "no" and cries like I hurt her feelings. She is already testing boundaries and usually have to follow up with a firm "no" several times. As you can see she has no problem expressing her feelings about that. :)
She has truly brought us more joy than we could imagine. Happy birthday sweet baby!
