Well, that baby girl of ours has turned 1!!! She wasn't feeling well on the day of her party so she wanted nothing to do with the cake, so no fun cake pictures. But, after the party some of us headed to the Fairmont Hot Springs and from the time I opened the change room door her arms and legs were flapping with excitement. She LOVES the pool and turned into a happy camper. She still not walking...actually I should say she's refusing to walk. She'll stand in middle of the room looking at a book or playing with a toy but will refuse to walk. At one point she was taking several steps but now she'll just stand, get angry, sit down gingerly and crawl wherever she wants to go. She's trying words though...dada, mama, shoe, theo (sounds more like shhhh). We're not really doing much signing with her but she does have one sign and that is the sign for 'uncle'. She adores uncle Kevin and is thrilled when he comes home from work. She loves the outdoors. One morning she led me to the back door and grabbed onto the doorknob, when I told her no, it's too cold, she went into hysterics and literally cried for over 20 minutes. So, as we've observed before, we have a little princess on our hands who knows what she wants. But we love her, she has an infectious laugh and is quick to do so, especially if you're chasing her.
