Ashlyn turned 1 year old on November 9th! She’s no longer a little baby anymore!
A year ago she couldn’t hold her head up…
Now she bobs her head to the music.
A year ago she spent most of the day sleeping…
Now she only sleeps 1-3 hours during the day.
A year ago she only drank breast milk and formula…
Now she drinks whole milk and eats anything we eat.
A year ago she only made little baby sounds…
Now she is repeating many words we say and mocks animal sounds.
A year ago she would only lie on her back and not be able to move much…
Now she loves to dance, point at things, run, and climb on everything.
A year ago her favorite things to do were eat and sleep…
Now her favorite things to do are push buttons, play with toys, and listen to music.
It’s been such a privilege watching her grow and develop over the last year. We feel very blessed as parents and look forward to all the years to come. We had her birthday party this year at Gymoboree Play and Music. Unfortunately, not as many people got to come as we would have liked but Ashlyn had a great time so that’s all that matters. She got spoiled with a lot of toys on her birthday and she loves all of them except one of the toys we got her! She HATES her new rocking horse and is absolutely terrified of it. She doesn’t even want to be in the same room as it! Poor Ashlyn…and poor horse! Hopefully she’ll warm up to it eventually.
Here are a few pictures of her party:
Very cute and exciting. I especially like your timeline with "The baby is the size of a squash!" on it. By the way, we are starting to really crank out some old time lines and finished July 2011 today. We are opening our page (NelsonNewsFlash.blogspot.com) to the birth family in a few weeks (they just signed over rights) and want it up-to-date. Starting in March (when we get to adopt the kids), we will finally be able to put their names and photos on the page!
