We did it! Our first trip around the sun! How amazing is that?! And how amazing is it how much a human can develop in 1 single year!
Here’s a list of things she can do: She is very smart. More smart than I anticipated that she would be at such a young age. She has fantastic fine motor skills. She loves to draw, paint, she loves to feel textures. She loves to explore sounds. She can say ‘dog’, which is her favourite word, as well as her favourite animal! She will say all of the double words (mama, dada, nana, gaga, etc). She can say ‘iya’ and she’s learning ‘hola’. She can independently chose to play hide and seek. I can ask her to make an owl noise and she will. I can ask her where the balloons are and she will find them and point at them. She loves to point and wave. She loves to do a big smile when I tell her to ‘cheese’. She says ‘dada’ whenever she hears the door open. She will laugh whenever she hears other people laughing, and it’s SO funny. She’s learning to pull herself up on things and she will walk independently with her ‘shopping cart’.
She has a ton of hair now, and it gets thicker and longer by the day! Her beautiful eyes are a deep, dark blue. She has 8 teeth (and counting). She is around 19 pounds and around 30 inches long. She is more gorgeous than me and her daddy can comprehend, we spend a lot of time staring at her wondering how we made such a beauty!
She has made our hearts SO huge with love. When she was born, I couldn’t believe how much I could love such a tiny little human, but that love grew more and more each day and now I could never have a dull day with being reminded all of the time how much I love her and how lucky we are to spend every day with her! She is so perfect in every way and even though this year has gone so quickly, I can’t believe that there was a point in time that I did not know her face.
