THIS

So true, so true.  I need to remind myself of this quote often. Hold them, love them, play with them and soak in as much of them as you can. 

This baby is one! 

Those big crazy hippo teeth are in. 

She can be loud and squawky.

She follows Ruthy around like a little puppy in hopes of getting a taste of whatever it is she is eating. 

She says "Hi" in a really high pitch voice.

She waves bye bye with a little side gangster style kind of wave. 

She says mmm-uh when she blows kisses.

She can be super shy, as in closes her eyes to trick you into thinking she is asleep so you won't talk to her. 

She loves to eat sweets and eggs, bananas, cheese, rice, peaches, cream of wheat and oatmeal. 

She loves to dance and be tickled and spun around. 

She loves the cats at Aunt Karen's house. 

She shows you she wants to hold something by rocking her hands together and saying shhh shhh shhh. 

We love how she shakes her head in slow motion up and down to tell us yes. 

She loves to read books and will back herself up into your lap and look at books.

She loves to play horses and will make clicking noises for them when they trot.

When she gets hurt she makes loud blowing in and out noises till you kiss it better. 

She likes to count down, sree, two, one, beep beep beep, when we microwave her milk baba.

Her nickname right now is This. (It's kind of like Things.)

We love This so much! Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl!!!

 We celebrated down in St. George with some swimming, school shopping and big ol' ice cream cake!
