Being 1

Life as a toddler is very exciting! Mom said her head is spinning with all of my new developments in the last month. These days I am taking steps while holding on to things, and practicing my "free stand" (usually while holding my toy out in front of me and making funny faces at it).
My vocabulary is expanding every day with hi, dada, mama, na-na-na (banana), ah-Mo (Elmo and/or Nemo), and of course, the universal screaming-whine-and-point that usually gets me whatever I want.
These are pictures from my school, having fun with my friends. This is my favorite toy... and no, it is not designed for shoving chubby little arms down the chute... but I have my own approach to getting the toy balls.
Balls, balloons, and mirrors are big favorites. Dad loves to play "catch" with me, and Mom loves to laugh when I look in the mirror and say "Hi!" to myself, even with her small makeup mirror.
Mom and Dad are grateful that I am finally sleeping through the night- now that I am strong enough to roll over onto my belly in my hip brace at night- I sleep like a baby! Every once in a while I will wake up confused, and push myself up. I can't figure out how to lay back down in my brace, so they have to come help me. So far, so good with this new toddler-hood!

She is so wonderful! You need to come back to Tejas and visit. I want to "meet" her as a big girl!

How cute is she! And Kelsey- you are a fabulous writer- well above your time!

Funny how I found your blog- I saw "Mom" on my permissions, and I was totally confused as to how my own mother had made such huge leaps and bounds in blogging and created her own blog. Boy was I relieved when I saw Kelsey's writing instead of my own mother's. I've always wondered what she would write... Glad we found you!
