I've said this same thing with all my kiddos... where has the time gone?
I can not believe how fast one year has flown by.
I felt like it was just the other week/month that we packed up and left Florida when Marilyn was a mere 8 weeks old...
And now our baby girl is 1-years old and considered to be a toddler.
*sigh*
[tears]
Marilyn had her 12-month (1 year) well baby check up this week and the stats are in:
weight - 20.6 lbs (43 percentile)
height - 29.25 inches (59 percentile)
There is no doubt that in the last month or two since she began cruising furniture and then walking that she has gotten stronger, slimmed up in her legs and has been eating like a truck driver!
For her birthday this week, we did what we have done with all the kids on their first birthdays...
made a little homemade cake and served it on our "You are Special Today" red plate.
Thomas and Abby helped decorate both Marilyn's cake and the cupcakes that we would be eating while she helped herself to the cake.
As you can tell, the cake and cupcakes were decorated with love & sprinkles!
And the birthday girl loved it.
Although she wasn't so sure about the candle flame and the singing of happy birthday,
once that cake was in front of her and there were no boundaries & limitations...
she was in hog heaven!
And yes, that is a big goose egg on her forehead.
Yes, it was bleeding earlier that day.
That is what happens when you have a new 1-year old who is walking everywhere but unfortunately her body is going faster than her legs & feet can keep up.
Sometimes there are falls & crashes that result in bumps & bruises.
Best remedy though is lots & lots of hugs and kisses.
Done.
Next stop... tubby bath so that we can be clean for presents!
Although it was just us for her birthday celebration, I just wanted to thank all of our friends and family who were thinking about Marilyn on her special day and helped celebrate from afar.
