Hi everyone!
On Saturday I turned 1! My Mom and Dad say the time has gone by wayyyy too fast and my first year went even faster then Blake and Em's!! But I've had a great first year, learning something new every day :)
On Saturday morning I got to open my gifts from Mom, Dad, Blake and Emerson. Then we went to watch Blake's hockey with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Lindsay. In the afternoon Auntie came over for a visit and we played! After supper that night I had my very first cupcake :) It was so yummy!!
Then on Sunday, I had a very fun birthday party at our house! We had some of our family and a few friends over. I had a cute #1 birthday cake, that Mom and Auntie Lindsay made me!! I wasn't too sure about digging into the cake but enjoyed a few bites!
I had my one year pediatrician appointment on Wednesday (Nov 16th) and I weighed in at 23 lbs and measured 28 1/2" long! I'm in the 75%tile for weight, 30th for height and 50th for head circumference!! I have 8 teeth and Mom and Dad say I'm a pretty good eater :)
I love walking around the coffee table, walls, couches, play table, and pushing my car around! The most steps I've taken is 4 and I'm a little monkey ;) I like to climb things!! It's so much fun!!! I'm not too crazy about hanging onto other people's hands and walking, but Mom and Dad think I'll be walking before Christmas. I'm not sure yet?! I'm a very fast crawler, and that seems like the easiest way to get places right now!! I love clapping my hands, waving hi and bye, blowing kisses and dancing to my favourite music. And I am quite the chatterbox! Mom can decipher quite a few of my words: Dad, Mom, More, Ta-Ta, This, Jazz, Dora, Blankie and All Done. Everyone seems to love it when I talk!!! I chatter away a lot :) I have a fun little personality, one of the things I do that makes everyone laugh is my "fake" laugh ... when I hear other people laughing I like to get a laugh in too!!! Or anther thing that seems to make people chuckle is when I'm thirsty and I clear my throat!
I've had lots of fun going to Come Play With Me with Mom and Emerson while Blake is at Preschool. I love to sing and dance :) I love the water and am going to start swimming lessons in the New Year! Some of the other things I enjoy doing are reading books, especially touch and feel books and standing and playing at my play table, the coffee table, the couch or pretty much anywhere there is something for me to hang onto and play with! I also love dolls!! But I probably spend the most time watching my sister and brother run around the house, they're just so entertaining!!!
In August I took my first airplane ride to Saskatoon for a wedding! Just Mom and I went and we had a nice little trip! I also had my first camping trip this summer and we can't wait to get out camping next summer!!
But I should go I'm getting pretty hungry, it must be supper time ;)
Hugs and Kisses,
Reese
