Baby S Is One!

It was almost a year ago that I started blogging, it was right before Baby S was born and today Baby S turned 1! I am sad, happy and bewildered. Sad because my baby is a year old, I do not have a tiny baby to cuddly with anymore and for a few other reasons that I will get to. Happy because she is healthy and in our lives! Bewildered at where the time has gone, really how has it been a year, I feel like I just blinked and it happened. It really goes by too fast!

We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with family and a few friends at the children's museum. It was supposed to be a party at the park, but with the massive amount of rain we quickly had to change plans. We had pizza, a yummy lady bug cake made by my Dad, thanks Dad, and beautiful pictures taken by my wonderful sister in law, thanks Gretchen! I will post pictures soon! She got some wonderful gifts, clothes, a stroller, blankets, she is obsessed with these small blankets that are soft and silky the girl cannot get enough, money, books, shoes and web cams. My Mom and Dad got her shoes and she looks like Frankenstein trying to walk it is so funny!

I know the web cams are a strange gift, well that brings me to the rest of my news. Robert found out on Thursday that he is being sent to Singapore for a minimum of eight weeks. I feel as if someone punched me in the stomach and I am gasping for air. He leaves Saturday, nothing like some notice! I know that the time will pass quickly and that we will make it, but it will definitely be hard. Thanks to Jenn, Janeen, Chris, Brad, A and R for the web cams, they definitely rock and we will all get use from them.

So Baby S here is what you are like at one year:
1) You suck your thumb and rub these soft and silky blankets when you are tired.
2) You walk from place to place and have been for a while now, no crawling anymore for you.
3) You love to sing a song that Janeen taught you, Little Fish and can do the hand motions and almost say bubble.
4) You do Peek a Bo and Patty Cake well.
5) You say mama and dada pretty well. Your brother Z swears that you speak to him all the time and have an extensive vocabulary.
5) You are obsessed with pointing and it is almost as if you are asking what is that so we always tell you.
6) You have a calm personality and are generally quite and content.
7) You love to be outside, I think that it is your favorite place.
8) You love dogs, love to pet them and talk to them.
9) You love to eat Gerber Cheese puffs and basically whatever else we are all eating.
10) You are loved by so many.

I love you, my special one year old! Happy 1st Birthday Baby S!
