one year update

Okay, here it comes! The big one year birthday!!!

I have been planning her big day for.... forever. And now that it is here I don't want it :0( Now don't get me wrong, I am super excited for the present opening, and the guests , and the Jack skelington (you know how we do) cake. I'm ready for the excitement of her seeing all her new toys, just to realize she is more interested in the bows and colorful wrapping paper. But it is also a reminder that my little girl isn't the tiny-inny-baby any more. Now she is a walking, chomping, babbling toddler, who is on a mission to get into every cupboard, and has her heart set out to destroy every room just as I have finished cleaning it.

No more simple items like a plastic spoon to keep her busy. Her life (at least for now) will be filled with playschool lights, and noises, clapping, and dancing. which reminds me, the girl shakes her booty like no tomorrow. She must get that from me.

It is amazing to see how she tries to consume every little thing into her little memory box of a brain. She points at dog poop with her little finger, and is amazed by it. "Ick" She knows that too. She knows "hot" though it comes out "Ha". Noses make a beep sound and lips make a kiss sound. That is my favorite thing she has learned to do. Not quite mastered, as you will receive an open mouth drool slobber kiss, but it is cuter than a baby purple unicorn fart. Which I am assuming is cute. I love how she clings to daddy when he goes to work, waves good by and blows kisses to him as he leaves. I know she wants him at home as much as I do.

I hope that Violet enjoyed her first year of life, as much as I enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure she did, considering that most of it involved all attention being on her. I sense more Independence showing from her personality even more than when she was a newbie and we would try to put her in a walker, or a jumper. She would scream as if saying "I DON'T LIKE CONFINING SPACES!" Now she is running to Gee-Gees house when she gets mad. I hope she isn't planning her escape from me all ready. Well, honestly she can plan but, nope, it ain't going to happen. LOL.

So yeah, that's it for know. Wish me luck on this next year with my head strong little Violet Rayne. I'm sure I'm going to need it!

and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIOLET!!!
