November 19

And now we're 13 months old and walking all over the place as if we own it.  This is girl is ready to leave her mark on the world.  Just not sure if Momma is ready to let her grow up quite yet.  




"Hi world!  Let's have some fun!"


Lots of dress-up fun this month.  Unlike her brother, Little Sweetie is always pretty excited to get dressed and accessorized.  She wants to be a big kid like brother!


     

My cute little skeletons hanging out with me while Daddy had a doctor's appointment, followed by Little Sweetie being an adorable skeleton nurse and taking good care of Daddy.  






     


Loving her new Chi O legacy bib and it's ability to help her play peek-a-boo!



Decked out in patriotic gear as she and brother accompany me to cast my vote (in the rain, no less.  They are troopers).



Rocking her Cleveland Browns gear because, somehow, Believeland has a winning record?!?!


     

Modeling her new super hero underpants, which we had to get because she wouldn't stop stealing Brother's!


Every day is also an adventure as she is constantly on the lookout for new things to explore and discover.  A simple trip to the park can quickly turn into a proud naturalist displaying her new acorn collection!

     


"Where are we going, Momma?  The park?  Great!  I love the park!"



     

"We can go on the slides and the swings and...wait, what's this, Momma?  That thing right there!"



     


"See, it's right here!  It's an...an...an...an acorn!  Amazing!  Let's collect 20 more!"


Height and Weight 
Gained a bit of weight and height and is now 22 lbs. and 30 inches.

Personality
Little Sweetie is definitely coming into her own.  She's so happy, but she's also mischievous and she know's how to play our heartstrings.  We catch her doing something she should be doing (like emptying a baby wipes container) and she breaks into tears like her world has ended and suddenly we're the ones rushing to apologize.  Yes, we are wrapped around her little finger.  We admit it.  

Developmental Milestones
She's got this walking thing down and she's starting to get fast.  The cutest part of it is when she walks over to us to give us hugs, just because she wants to.  We love it!  Well, Daddy and I do.  Big Brother sometimes reciprocates and sometimes is too busy playing.  Chesney's tolerating her love, even when she's teasing him with an apple (which I think she also stole from Brother when he wasn't looking).



"My puppy!"

She's still sleeping well, both at naps and at night, although sometimes she tells me I'm just too fun and that she doesn't want to nap because it should be playtime!

     

Two instances of when someone should be sleeping, but she prefers to hang out and stick out her tongue at me.  She's lucky she's cute!

She also LOVES food and is completely on table food and rarely displays pickiness.  She nods enthusiastically when offered some of her favorites and she's now eating kid meals at restaurants because she's always so hungry.  I think "hot dog" will be her next word!

     

"FOOD!!!!"


Her pretend play has also started and, while she does really enjoy playing with brother's cars and the kitchen, she's also beginning to play with dolls too.  She'll be a great Momma someday, as long as she remembers to feed her baby's mouth and not her baby's nose.


"Why won't baby eat, Momma?  Does it go in her eye, maybe?"


Fun Tidbits
The bathroom is her favorite room in the whole house because that is where she can go use her potty and clap for herself and where she can get her favorite thing...a bath!  Seriously, if you say "bath" in any part of the house, she immediately stops what she is going, stands up, vigorously nods her head yes, and runs to bathroom, trying to pull off her shirt the entire way.  

     

Proud of her potty success and her mohawk!


Until the next adventure,
