Her actual birthday was on a Monday. We played and cuddled lots! She wore her pretty dress...even though we didn't go anywhere. We did skype with Jon & April and Bebe & Gramps so they could sing Happy Birthday to her in person. When daddy was home when she woke up from her afternoon nap, we went to get her up together and sang Happy Birthday to her (and we videoed it too). So we hope to get her up singing Happy Birthday each year and make a homemade birthday hat every year for birthday traditions. I'm sure we'll add more along the way!
We went to the doctor yesterday (Tuesday). There wasn't much of a wait since it was before lunchtime when we were there. It was different from previous visits because now she can walk, so she was all over the patient room...in nothing but her diaper. The doctor said she looked great and was impressed by her motor skills and the number of words she was saying. Including but not limited to approximations of: Daddy/Dada, Mommy/Mama, up, ball, bubble, baby, ooh wee, hop, barking (for dog), roaring (for tiger), moo (for cow), more, sshh (shoe), balloon, cheese, apple, hi, bye, and Papa. She knows a lot of receptive words: dance, clap, belly, dog/puppy, milk, Mama and Daddy. She LOVES to dance (just starting moving back and forth) to music and singing. And our favorite time of day is after bath & milk when we all lay and play on the bed. She's so cute how she's starting to flop around on the pillows...fun and sweet times! She's still sleeping good, starting to do a little imaginary play (especially with her new tea set she got for her birthday), and she still loves most food and her milk.
And of course, her birthday always means that football season is just around the corner! Yay! War Eagle! (and Roll Tide! for the rest of the family ;) ).
