Gigi's First Birthday

Even though the party was Jan 2. I wanted to post pictures of her party. She was asleep for the first hour because I accidently scheduled it during nap time! Regardless, we had to wake Gigi. It was her first time eating cake and she couldn't stop! Iris fed her cake until we finally put an end to it. I think we ordered 100 chic fil-a nuggets and they were a hit. I am especially grateful for all of the friends and family who traveled to make the party. It meant a lot. Until the next party........

You love your big sister and your big sister loves you. Big sis kept saying, "Awe" while feeding you.

Laugh Out Loud

  Ok, so you are one of the funniest people I know (even at your age!)
Here are happenings that make me laugh out loud:

• We were cleaning out sandbox the other day (haven't opened it in weeks) and there were a bunch of green snakes. I freaked out, screamed, jumped, fell over, etc. You looked at me a few minutes later and said " Mommy don't dream about those snakes tonight, just dream about Disney princesses". You are totally a Disney girl.
• 
  
• I was feeding G on the couch and you were riding bikes outside. You came up the stairs with your hands closed over something. You said, "Mommy I have a very special surprise for you, please close your eyes." I did. When I opened them, you had a dead mouse that you were petting in my face. Once again, I freaked out and screamed bloody murder. You said, mommy don't be scared, its not real.
• 
  
• I threw away a baby doll that you use in the bath and you found it in the trash can. You were so mad. I heard you in the bathroom saying, "This is so rude, I can't believe how rude this is".
• 
  
• The other day you walked outside and said, "its so freaking hot".
• 
  
• I told you around lunchtime that you could watch a movie after dinner. A bit later you had your PJs on with a pull up. At the time I couldn't figure out why, but it was b/c you were ready to watch that movie
• 
  
• You take swim lessons 2x a week and love it. You act like you are a mermaid and make me say " I thought I saw a mermaid when you go under water.
• 
  
• You love to eat your boogers. You were drinking bath water the other day and I said yuck, you like to eat boogers and drink bath water?? You said, yes mommy, its my favorite.
• 
  
• You don't like wearing under ware and it drives your dad crazy.
• 
  
• I love it when you sing...other than Frozen songs, your favs are: No Parking on the Dance Floor and Stop in the Name of Love
• 
  
• You said, "Mommy, when I poop I love the smell of it". I said, why? You said, I don't know, its just really lovely."

More about you......
As you can see in the above pic, you grab anything and everything.......you love to touch my face.

• You had a big red bump on your head and I said, dang you must have gotten bitten by a bug. Iris said, No mommy that is where I hit her with my barbie, she was pulling my hair!
• You love, love, love, the dogs and cat. Your fact lights up when they are around. Parsons lets you do whatever with him, so you take advantage of that!
• When you laugh, you scrunch your nose and sometimes snort.
• You still take a bottle every 3 hrs and eat 3 meals a day. In fact, I have to stop feeding you b/c you have never stopped eating food on your own. You easily eat a entire pouch at a time and would keep eating more if I let you.
• You love to kiss me. Your kiss is an open mouth graze.
• You love swimming with Iris and I at the pool. We go 3-4 times a week. Sometimes you just lay back in my arms and float....totally relaxed
• You talk and babble constantly, especially to the dogs.
• You take 3 naps a day.
