Day 5: One Year

-
Little Miss, at One Year...

-You wear size 3 diaper
-You weigh 16 pounds 12 ounces 
-You are 27 inches long
-You wear {mostly} 9-12 month clothes
-You sleep for 11-12 hours/night
-You eat 3 meals, 2+ snacks and nurse at night
-You have 2 teeth 
You like to eat cheese, grapes, bananas, apple sauce, yogurt, pears, peaches, ice cream, a bagel with butter, oranges, peanut butter and jelly, graham crackers, goldfish, cheerios, baked beans, fig newtons, deli meat, chicken nuggets, french fries & much more!

 You love MUSIC, dancing, toys with noise, waving to the dog, crawling into the garage, being outside, bath time, playing peek-a-boo, taking things out of bags/off of shelves and tables, sucking your thumb, reading books, going on walks, Sesame Street videos on Youtube, feeding the dog from your high chair, going "bye-bye"- even if it's just to get the mail, swinging at the park and watching/hearing videos of yourself

 You don't (always) love diaper changes, getting strapped into your car seat, constricting hugs (that your Daddy gives), getting dressed, teething, being away from me, the church nursery (you're getting better), when we take something away from you (phone/TV clicker/wallflower air freshener), prolonged shopping trips, kissing your Daddy (scratchy face), drinking cow's milk and wearing shoes 
You're able to wave "hi" and "bye bye", give kisses (to me or your baby doll), pull up on objects, cruise from one piece of furniture to the next, stand alone-only for a second, clap your hands, say "mama" and "dada", feed yourself-with your hands, drink from a sippy cup, go outside or to the garage backwards-by turning around first, walk behind your walking toy, open a hard back book-and turn the pages and give a "high-five"

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
