you're a rockstar

You had your one year appointment today (a month late mind you) and I was so proud of you. You got poked and prodded and had to endure THREE needles! THREE! You cried but only while they were being administered and as soon as the doc was done, you hugged me tight, cuddled me and stopped crying immediately. 

You were a ray of sunshine the majority of the rest of the day. We had an awesome day together. 

You made me laugh constantly, played happily while I folded laundry, and you ate so much! I think I'm more impressed by you each day. 

You weigh 20.6lbs and are 29.5 inches tall. You are PERFECT.

I also caught you standing a few times without holding on. You may just be walking sooner than we think! 

You're a chatterbox for sure. Constantly talking these days. I wish I knew what you were saying half the time. Some words you say (that I understand): mom, daddy, up, ball, bubble, doggie, hi. 

It seems like you're saying (or trying to say) something new every day.

I'm going away for a girls weekend this weekend. My first and longest night away from you. I'm excited to have some adult time but I'm going to miss you like crazy. I know daddy will ta.ke care for you and you''ll have so much fun. Daddy seems to be your favorite these days. 

Today when we were leaving a store you started waving and yelling "daddy" at a man in a uniform like your dads. You were so excited and I felt so bad I couldn't make your dad appear at that moment. The connection you two have is so special. Your face just lights up when he comes home at night

I love you my sweet, perfectly growing girl. I'll miss you like crazy this weekend but I loved having our day together today. 

Sleep tight my princess
