Even though this is our third first birthday, it’s still just as much of an accomplishment each time. We did it. We survived the year! And I’m always just as shocked about how quickly it went by. How are you one already?
Your year feels split in half - the first half you were the easiest little squish baby who just came along wherever we went. The second half, aka the mobile half, is when things got a little crazy. You became strongly opinionated and LOUD. You aren’t talking but you still blow us lots of raspberries, give very wet kisses and screetch often. You’re constantly moving and climbing and exploring and trying hard to become a full on toddler. You love eating chicken nuggets and pasta and drinking from a sippy cup just like a big kid.
We keep finding you climbing up on stools so you can look out the window. I think you’ve seen that the world is bigger than this house, and you want OUT. You are so fast, too. You can be across a room and pulling out wipes, have swiped my phone or changed the channel before anyone knows you have the remote. Your favorite game is when I stomp my feet and pretend I’m running after you. You start giggling and take off before you can get caught.
Mostly, though, you’re just the perfect addition to our family. And I think you’re pretty thrilled to be a part of it too.
