Wow - our baby is one. Well, she was one last week. On one hand it is sad - our baby is growing up, on the other hand I'm looking forward to the big kid stuff with no naps, diapers etc (long way to go yet). We celebrated by having my parents, nana, brother and niece over for dinner and cake. Callia wasn't that impressed with the cake but I thought it was b/c it was late. She loved her toys - the day b/f she had received a toy from a friend and when Christian tried to play with it she scooted over to him and screamed. On Sunday we went to Rich's sister and her and I made dinner for everyone since her daughter turned 10 a couple days after Callia's bday. We tried Callia again with cake and she wasn't that into it - thus we don't have any really good mucky face pictures. At this party she received all clothes - she was most interested in trying to put on her new shoes. Her brothers were so interested in helping her open presents and playing with her new toys - Christian even volunteered to try on her new clothes! Here is what she has done over the past month:
-weighs in at 17lbs 6 ounces 28 1/2 inches long
-pulling herself up
-does a bridge - stands on her legs and is bent over with hands on the floor
-now hates pancakes
-loves her swing outside
-no teeth
-naps one or two times a day
-loves milk, not formula
-says "what's this" - not clear, kind of in a breathy voice (she tooted and said it, then Rich went to put her to bed for her nap and he let one rip and she said it again)
-loves to push cars around, stick the soother into her baby's mouth, read books, draw with the doodle board thingy
-goes from lying to sitting to standing
-throw your food onto the floor when you're all done
-use the sign for more
Callia you have given us an amazing year. You are easy going (except for when you seem to be teething), loving, and gentle yet boisterous when your brothers get you going. The amazing thing is that though we have completed your milestone year we have many more to celebrate with you. You have completed our family. You are so loved by me, your daddy and brothers. I'm excited to see all the new things you're going to do over the next year. I pray that you grow up loving God with all of your heart!
