12 months

My baby is 1 years old!! She is amazing, adorable, and full of energy! I can't believe how fast a year flies by. It still feels like just yesterday that Doug and I were preparing to go to the hospital to be induced to welcome our little baby girl to the world. We were so anxious, nervous, but most of all excited. Our inducement date kept getting pushed back because of women who were in actual labor...so after 4 days of biting our nails and waiting each of those days to see if it was THE DAY, we finally entered the hospital... 1 day later, Aprill 22nd, 2012 our Scarlett June was born. That day changed my life forever in the best way possible. I can't even remember what life was like without her, because it seems like she's always been part of our family.  She is the love of my life. She is the sunshine of my life. I feel so blessed and thank my heavenly father every day for her.

At 12 months Scarlett:

• Runs around everywhere
• Can say "Mama, Mommy, Dada, Daddy, Juice, Cheese"
• She can understand so much more than she actually says right now
• Loves to play at the park, or pretty much anywhere outside
• Loves to drink from a hose or be sprayed in the face with water in general
• Always asks to jump on our bed
• Will stop anything shes doing when music comes on and do a booty dance and a twirl
• Took her second trip to st george and got to spend a full week with her cousin simon whom she absolutely adores!

p.s.

I've only spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to go private and I'm sure its right in front of me but its taking to long (5 minutes is a long time when baby is sleeping and mom has a whole list of things to get done)...So going private is going to have to go on hold for a bit. Sorry to the people who sent me there email, but I had a paranoid moment back when I posted we were going private and now that time is past, I just don't have the energy to do it right now...I know that sounds lame but true. Thanks!

I can't believe my itty bitty baby is already 11 months! We are so blessed to have such a healthy, fun, personality plus baby. This last month was a real milestone for  her. She is starting to understand so much more. Simple directions, imitations, and is doing more physically each and every day.

At 11 Months Scarlett:

• Is about 24.5 lbs
• Is wearing 18 months clothing
• Walks/runs everywhere
• Loves to fake sneeze...You tell her to sneeze and she does a fake sneeze, head motion and all
• Will open and shut doors, dish washer, refrigerator when you tell her to
• If you tell her we are going outside she runs to the front door and starts banging and screeching with excitement
• Loves the swings at parks
• Loves bubbles
• Loves to push things
• Plays with her easter eggs all day long
• Loves to play hide and seek and to chase her all around the house
• Will find the bjorne carrier anywhere in the house and walk it over to me and tell me to put it on
• Dances whenever she hears music and she is the cutest dancer ever!
• Walk over to her high chair and ask up (its her way of telling me she wants food)
• Loves water - drinking it, splashing in it, bathing in it, especially drinking from a hose
• Takes 2 1 1/2 hour naps and sleeps through the night

Her favorite toy is my hand pump

She is so cuddly after her naps

Loves her gold glittery shoes

 Video monitor shot of how she'll wait for me sometimes after her nap

Eating big girl food is so much fun!

Climbing around at the park

Please mama put me in the baby bjorn!!

Cousin time is the best!

Going private

I'm pretty sure the only people who read this blog are my parents...but I've decided to go private anyways. If you'd like to be added to "the list" to view my blog, please comment to this post and leave your email. I'll leave this up for a month or so before i actually go private since I usually only post that often to give you all a chance (again in probably just talking to my parents) to leave your emails. Thanks!!!
