love to engage,
you adore attention,
though love your independence too (i often find you alone playing with toys in E & L's room or the playroom),
you are a spitfire at times (no worries - i like this spunk),
you love being held in the moby, looking out & inclusion in the moment,
you seem to love the compliments given to you,
& you are into just about everything - earning the title "danger baby."
and this will reflect terribly on my parenting skills - but to reference why we gave you this alias - you have thus far
- raided kelly's advil - successfully opening the child proof lid, & managing to eat (we think/hope) one pill, necessitating a call to two pediatricians and poison control
- stuffed a golf sized ball of wasabi in your mouth
- attempted to drink nail polish remover
- have a hankering for eating batteries
- have found plugs & opening cabinets as favorite playtime activities
- loves climbing steps
- prefers siblings 'tiny' toys to the age appropriate toys of your own
4 eyes should be fixed on you at all times
what the future holds for you is exciting. watching your personality develop in your first year has been nothing short of a tremendous blessing. you are a beauty & a happy little lady. you seem to enjoy life as the third child & the frenzied, harried lifestyle that results from three & me. i'm always rushing, naps for you are dependent on others' activites, kids are always hovering & doting regardless if you are awake or sound asleep, but you hang in there & adapt to the moment.
you are one of a kind, as you should be.
we love you...
LOVE all of your kiddos! Lyda is just like you...she likes to live on the edge! :) Can't wait to see what she is like in a few years. So blessed to have dear friends to share our children with - and your children are blessed to have such a good mom! Love you!

ReplyDeleteOhhh beautiful baby girl!! Love that you know her personality! WOW--I didn't know all she was into--yes, yes, 4 eyes on her at all times!! Ummmm, like that's possible?! Ha!
