is now 1. Technically no longer a baby, but still my baby. To be honest, I was kind of dreading her birthday. Annabelle has been a great baby, and I didn't want the baby stage to be over. It was a great year. I miss cuddling up on the couch with her:
But I love chasing her:
Her current interests include crawling faster than any baby I've seen, standing a lot (more lately, now that she's feeling better and her ear infection is gone), clicking her tongue, growling when something makes her happy, cuddling with Murray, laughing at Mabes, saying "Dada," not saying "Mama," and being a complete Daddy's girl. Dave works from home, so if he comes out during the day, her face lights up, she growls, yells "Dada!," bounces a little, then race-crawls over to him, knocks her head into his shins, sits back, and wiggles her ankles and wrists until he picks her up. The other day I was cleaning up the kitchen and before I knew it, she had bolted down the hall and was outside Dave's office sticking her fingers under the door whispering "Dadadada!"
She has her own opinion and gets mad when she doesn't get what she wants and randomly throws her food on the floor even though she's still hungry. So cute! And she still wakes up at night and I think she's trying to drop down to one nap, which I am totally not ready for. But despite that, she's an absolutely adorable one-year-old.
How could you not want to squeeze her?

"How could you not want to squeeze her?" I don't know, because I would love to squeeze her. Actually, I'd love to carry her around all day, but it sounds like she's become a bit more mobile so I guess that's not gonna happen. Please administer a long hug on her grandpa's behalf.
I'm convinced!
Oh man, she is so adorable! And I love that story about sneaking to daddy's office. That is so cute :) And I don't want Aaron to grow up, either! He's such a fantastic baby--can't I just have a baby always?? I mean, without having to actually have more babies?
She is such a sweetie. Turning one is always so hard on me. I miss the snuggling on the couch nursing days so much it's painful! awww, but growing up is fun too. So many new things, and the cute stuff that comes out of their mouths is a highlight everyday. She is adorable!
