13 months

Wow, 13 months old already. We have made it beyond the first year of her life and it has been so fun and crazy, all at the same time. Seriously, I couldn't imagine life without her. Over the first month of her first year lots has happened.

We had a birthday party for her on her b-day here in Colorado. We celebrated her first Easter at Auntie Chelsea's and Uncle Luke's with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Hallie. Went through her first ear infection and with that came hives from her amoxicillin she was givin for it. We started weaning her off of formula by doing half formula and half whole milk and quickly got her strictly onto whole milk. After she made the switch she got, and keeps getting, constipated from her milk. Her Dr. Suggested that we don't give her as much milk as we have been and just give it to her at meal times and water in between so once we get her regular again we will cut back on her milk and see if that helps her. We introduced juice to her, prune and apple to help her tummy issue. She only gets juice right now when she's constipated to help her out. She's is now an amateur climber and ascends everything she can, she even learned how to climb up the couch from the side. She plays patty cake by herself, sometimes we see her clapping and then "rolling the dough". She had her first shopping outing with Auntie Chelsea. She survived her first move. We got her a new car seat and she ended up getting carsick so we are waiting for a new one to arrive and hopefully this one will work better for her. She loves the stairs in our new home. She is getting more animated with her facial expressions (just like her daddy), she is getting more sassy and almost throwing fits (like her daddy, ha ha), still throws her head back when she's mad, she sometimes started to hit when she's mad (won't be letting that go on very long), she loves doggies everytime we see one she gets excited says doggie or says woo woo. She still loves her Mickey Mouse, she's starting not to like her face wiped after mealtime, She says YEAH all the time it's so funny talking to her asking her yes or no questions and she's like YEAH. She really starts dancing when she hears music, especially when Mickey Mouse comes on. Getting more and more snuggly in the mornings and when she wakes up from her naps (So sweeeeet). Loves looking at her books, especially the ones that sing, sometimes it sounds like she's even singing along with them (or copy them). She's on the go-go-go and she's non stop. She says dada, daddy, mmmmm, but not so much momma :-( only a few times, doggie, yeah. She likes to give us her paci and put it in our mouths, she is more snuggly with her stuffed animals and gives them loves all the time. She loves to play with our phones and put them up to her ear and talk. She loves playing with our keys walks around the house with them, she started playing with her toes again every once in a while. She also started trying to feed us her food. She loves the stairs.. She will literally walk towards the stairs and look at me as she's walking and smile then she will go up the stairs and sit on the second stair and wait for me and then start laughing when she sees me.


We have been a busy family this past month we moved into our new home and slowly settling in and slowly feeling like home. Things have just been crazy around here, not really much excitement except for moving into our home. Gil finish his semester of school and taking the summer off to get his job figured out so in the fall he can go back to school and work. His job has been so stressful, but I think he's getting it now...And that's a wrap for things over here just after her first year. :-)
