On September 8 Alice turned 1!
MaMa came to visit and give some birthday hugs.
She is such a beautiful girl and I just love that everyday I get to look forward to watching her learn, discover, and do new things.
When asked "what are some cute things that Alice does?" Dad replies without hesitation "Everything Alice does is cute, babe." I think that says it all....
Alice 1 year updates:
Alice has started a little vocabulary...she says Mama, occaisionally will say Dada, as clear as a bell said duck and ball the other day. Says the Uh part of Uh Oh (always right before she drops something). Her favorite expression is "OOhhh!" while pointing. She can identify her own nose (she usually wrinkles it when you say nose) and point to mommy's nose and eyes. She knows foot, shoes (good girl!) and pats her belly when asked to. She loves hiding, peek a boo, and being chased. She can high-five. She gives great hugs and hums when she does (I guess that's what I do!). And of course the open mouth kiss. She does a pretty good air kiss too! She waves at everyone, especially dogs.
Alice is getting closer to walking...she cruises and pulls up on any object-even the walls, and she is FAST. She still does the "Cayman Crab" a single hand crawl with the left leg pulling out in front and the right leg and bummy schootching on the floor. She loves to climb.
Alice is a dainty girl for her age...while she continues to be a tall girl at 28 1/2 inches, she doesn't pack many pounds at 16 lb 8 oz. She eats everything in site...I'm not sure where she puts it sometimes. She is such a busy girl, she never stops! She has 2 lower and 2 upper teeth, she still loves broccoli, cheese and yougurt above all else but likes just about everything we have ever given her.
Alice loves her dogs...Zeke and Zeus are instant entertainment and a cure for any cranky pants. They chase her and she chases them.
We just love her so much and are so thankful to have such a precious child!
