First Haircut

So I know I am really late with this post.

It happened almost two weeks ago.

Suprisingly it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.

I saved her little locks of hair.

I will keep it in her keepsake box where I have her hospital bracelets and cap.

I wonder if I will be this sentimental with baby number two?

Probably.

Not that I am pregnant.

Just a bit sleep deprived today.

Did I mention I have become addicted to the Twighlight books? It kept me up way too late reading. I couldn't stop. I feel like a teenager reading it.

But that is so beyond the point of this post.

The before with crazy bangs...

Checkin out the Barbie Jeep ...

(P.S. the hairstylist had crazy bad hair..i was like u sure u know what u doin' lady?)

First cut...

Sophia I don't think you could be any cuter if you tried!!...

All done! So pretty!

Ooops how did this one get in here?...

....meet Edward Cullen. This is who is keeping me up.

A Few Of Her Favorite Things!

Pretends to write on paper with a pen just like mommy does.

Says hi and eye (more words I'm sure that I haven't deciphered yet)

Loves to play peek a boo, claps, waves

Has a maternal side coming through. Sits her teddy bears on chairs and carries them around in her basket.

Stands alone for 15 seconds or so. (Just yesterday stood up with no assistance from the couch etc. She just went from a sitting position to standing!)

Walks with her push cart

Loves to point at everything

Loves to Dance! Dances as soon as she hears music. Will bounce even when my cell phone rings, so cute!

Says "oooh" and "eww" if she sees something she likes or hears a loud noise or something exciting. Unbelievably cute!

Brushes her hair with her brush

Gets so excited by Lilly our cat that she screams with excitement! Scares poor Lilly to death. She likes to try and sit on her, pull her tail and chase her.

Loves to help mom unload the dishwasher

Wakes up and plays with her teddies in her crib..i don't even know she is awake.

Hates getting her diaper changed and dressed..wiggle worm.

Hates getting her teeth brushed!

Loves to shop and socialize with friends (don't know where she got that from?)

Favorite Foods:

Whole wheat rotini with garlic and classico sauce

Grapes, grapes and more grapes!

Peas

Cheese

Pancakes

Banana and banana cookies

Danino drinkable yogurt (banana flavor of course!)

Quaker oatmeal - maple and brown sugar flavor

And what is a really fun game to play when you are a big one year old??

...why crawling with a towel over your head bumping into things of course! Apparently this is hilarious!!

Happy First Birthday My Sweet Baby Girl!

Today is your first birthday!!

How can you already be one?

When you turned 11 months my heart started to ache thinking

that you my little baby would soon be one.

Then as the month started passing I started to get excited thinking about how

much you have changed and grown over the months and how you are turning into such a big girl!

It is hard to remember what life was like without you in it.

It feels like you have always been

here and that you were the missing piece in our life.

I love you beyond words can speak.

I don't want to get super mushy because believe me I can.

I could easily start crying just typing all the things I want to say to you.

Just know that you have blessed your mama and dada so much

and we look forward to a life filled with fun and love with you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is your first birthday party!

I love you my little monkey!!
