Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl.

Wow I can not believe how fast the year has gone by. I just keep thinking about where we were a year ago and how excited we were to finally bring her into the world. We had a little bit of a struggle the first few months with her being alergic to milk and a little bit colic (probably from the milk). But everyday has been such a joy with her. She is always full of smiles, people come up to her when we are shopping because she is always smiling or waving to everyone she see's. She is so good and so smart I love watching her learn and knowing that her little brain is always trying to figure things out, even when we are not sure what she is trying to figure out. She started walking 3 weeks ago and is now all over the place. She can say Dadda, Mamma, Dog, quack, Kyla, Papa, No, and Ya. She still loves books and loves to dance to any kind of music. She loves her bike trailer, we go for long bike rides almost everyday. So far she is not really interested in "real" toys, she loves tuperware, pots and pans, lotion and shampoo bottles and my cell phone! She is such good help loading and unloading the dishwasher =) and she loves the Vacuum. She is seems to be doing good drinking Goats milk, so we are hoping that eventully we will be able to get her on other dairy milk and foods. Her favorite food is Peas, Corn, gram crackers, and Cheeto's. I love being a mom more than anything in the world. I want to spend every minute with her. She is an absolute Joy! I love you baby girl, Happy Birthday.

11 months

I know I don't blog as much as I use to, my laptop is having some serious issues and I hate to start anything knowing it may freeze up. Jordan is now 11 months old, WOW time flies. She is so fun, her little personality is really starting to come out. She loves to fake cough and fake laugh. She quacks like a duck, says Uh-oh and she is learning sign language. She is picking up on it really fast. She took her first three steps last week but now she only wants to walk if she has your hand or with her toy, hopefully she get the courage to try again. She is very independent and does things her way or the highway! I love it. We took her camping a couple of weeks ago and she was in heaven, so was I (she slept in until 9 or 10 every morning). I do have to say camping with an 11 month old is much easier than camping last summer with a three week old! We bought her a used bike trailer on craigs list so we go on lots of bike rides now. She loves to be outside, always has, must have something to do with being a summer baby. We are getting excited to celebrate her 1st birthday next month although I still can't believe it has been a year since we had her.
