OH HAPPY DAY!

Daddy is working, the dishwasher is humming, the washer is spinning and the baby is snoring so that gives Mommy time to relax, to reflect and to pray! I can't believe how fast the past year has gone by. So many times I wished for time to speed up so my husband would be able to be here with us but then the next breath, I wanted time to stop because our little one is growing so fast! This was just a year ago:

And here she is now!

She still loves bath time and if you ask her if she wants to take a bath, she is in the bathroom trying to get into the tub before you know it! She is a walking machine and thinks its funny to walk as fast as she can, when she figures out how to run . . . we are in TROUBLE! She talks non-stop and most of the time we can understand her words. I know of these people but she has never met them but she has a friend Micah and Markas, at least that's what it sounds like anyways. I think she somehow is learning to speak Chinese too because some words are ummmmm unknown but we just roll with it! She loves to dance! If music is on, her hands are in the air and her head is bobbin! She has such a love for her babies! She burps them and her new thing is to hold them tight and while patting their back she says SHHH SHHH SHHH! She also likes to share her sippy with them too! We don't have a minute by minute routine down here but 3 naps a day, bedtime at 7:30'ish and she has been sleeping all night long for the past few nights! She has 8 teeth and working on more because she is chewing on EVERYTHING and her appetite isn't the same right now but she will still eat ANYTHING! She is wearing mostly 18 month clothes since her body is so long with those short legs (like Daddy) and can finally wear jeans since she is walking! She has size 4-4.5 feet and is wearing size 4 diapers! Her hair is growing like a weed and Mommy won't take her for a hair cut yet so it's always pulled back to the side with a clip or sometimes a side pony like Mommy wore when she was little, as long as it is out of her eyes, it works for me! She is waking up so I have to run but I hope you all are enjoying your little ones (no matter how young or old) living life to the fullest and thanking God for everything!

We get one shot at this life, live it and love it!
