Dear Cupcake,
I cannot believe it's been a full 12
months since you came into our lives! In some ways, it feels like just
yesterday that you were a little blob coming home from the hospital.
Then again, I can't even remember what life was like before you came
into our lives. Really, it feels like long long long ago.
We've
moved to Texas, and you seem to be adjusting wonderfully to the move.
Sure, you were a bit clingy for a bit, but overall I'm amazed at what a
resilient little thing you are. You've been hanging out with
grandparents, aunts and uncles, family friends and you smile at all of
them. You just love attention, don't you?
And for over month now, you've been walking. You took your first
steps before 11 months, and every day you are just getting stronger and
stronger. Now you can walk, get up, and grab your stuffed animals, all
without having to lean on anything. It's pretty amazing.
You are also becoming a slightly pickier eater. That's par with
the course, right? It really seems that as you've been exposed to more
foods, you seem to remember them and then want them later. The other
day we had to through 4 different dishes before we realized you were
asking for peas. And once you had your peas, you had no problems with
the rest of your meal. Bless you, you're becoming such a great
communicator.
We also got you a new car seat, worthy of your ginormous size.
Still in the 90th percentiles, I'm afraid. How much longer will I be
able to hold you? Then again, these days you prefer to walk everywhere
anyway.
I love you so much, my little Cupcake. You are growing into a
wonderful and intelligent little girl. And I can't wait and see what
the next year brings us.
Love,
Your Mama
