Friday the 13th

18 months ago on Friday the 13^th a little someone special joined our family. It is unbelievable how much that baby had changes in the last 18^th months.

She is…

• a blue-eyed, brown-haired little girl.
• easy, we will wait for the shoe to drop when she becomes a teenager. Until then- we have a very good baby.
• a lover of anything Elmo.
• a little girl that went a year without an ear infection, then had six in a matter of five months. She now has tubes in both ears.
• a bookworm.
• taller than almost everyone else in her class at day-care, but has small feet.
• an outdoor girl. But she does not like bugs inside the house- and lets Daddy know when there is one inside.
• a fan of having bows in her hair, but she takes them out.
• in a rear-facing car-seat. Her Mommy feels safer that way, and she doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.
• an artist. Art time is one of her favorite times and it is not OK to take her marker away to go up to communion at church- not OK at all.
• always on the go.
• teething. Twelve down, working on four more.
• starting to get a little shy, and crying when Mommy and Daddy drop her off at day-care.
• finding ‘besties’ at day-care. It is the cutest thing watching her and her friends giving each other a hugs.
• starting to have favorites. From books to blankets to toys and food.
• a carbs, fruit and cheese girl. No meat or veggies for her if she has a choice.
• neither a Daddy or Mommy’s girl. It just depends on the day and her mood.
• a girl of many faces and expressions.
• a determined and slightly opinionate little one.
• in size 4 diaper during the day and size 5 at night.
• into music and loves her child sing-along song CDs.
• still sleeping twelve hours at night and one hour nap at day-care (three hour nap if she is at home).
• a lover of shoes, accessories, purses and anything else girlie.
• a talker, and has started to scream a little lately.
• a fan of being naked and will run away from you once she gets to that point.
• friendly with other kids and loves meeting new little friends.
• more of a LEGO girl than a doll girl.
• our dream come true.
