Happy Very First Birthday to Me!

My party was last weekend, but I'm officially one TODAY!  I can't believe one year ago today I entered this world a wee 6lbs 6oz.  I've seriously loved every little bit of this past year.  Things get better and more fun with every new trick I learn.  Oh, and before I go on, I finally sprouted my top two teeth!  I weigh somewhere around 18 lbs (dr appt is next week) and I've got to be close to 29" because I'm seriously reaching the height limit on my infant car seat.

Mommy taught me how to sign "more," but it's more like a clap when I do it.  I sign "more" when I want something, anything, and when mama asks me to say something other than more, like "please" or "thank you."  So I basically just clap all the time.  

I've really started to love my lovey.  Whenever I'm upstairs I make a b-line for my crib and fish my lovey out from between the crib bars.  Then I put it on my head and crawl around.  Just today I climbed the entire flight of stairs (with mom's supervision), got my lovey out of the crib, and drug it all the way back down the stairs.  

I started the weaning process a few days ago and I'm already down to nursing twice a day and drinking milk from my super-cool-big-girl-straw-cup the rest of the time.

For my one-year pictures mommy cut a cupcake shape from my nursery fabrics and had it sewn onto a onesie along with my name and the number one on the back.
