My little girl is 1...

Monica turned 1 yesterday! My little girl is growing up! She got her first doll and while I think Christopher was more interested than her, she definitely enjoyed the baby bottle that came with the doll. :)

Then she and Christopher enjoyed ice cream!!! Monica's Godfather was going to bring a cake, but he ended up being delayed so it didn't arrive until after Monica was in bed...so we'll have to have an extended party tonight and get the cake demolition pictures!

Last night Monica walked across the room to Jason for the first time! She'd taken a step or two or three here and there, but never attempted something so big. Jason was thrilled! She was so proud of herself!

This morning Monica was playing with her doll before Christopher woke up and she was getting really frustrated cause she kept trying to get the doll to stand up, but it would just flop over onto her. She turned it upside down, inspected the feet, then tried again. It was pretty funny to watch her trying to "teach" a doll how to stand up!

I got Christopher up at 8AM and his first request was, "Play, baby?" He was so happy when he saw the baby doll waiting for him! He's so gentle with the baby doll...hopefully a foreshadowing of how he'll respond when his new sibling gets here.

Wow. Time flies. My baby's b-day is on New year's eve. I can't believe it.
And we're getting a doll for Rosebud for her birthday too! And i KNOW that T. will totally monopolize it even tho she has her own. :)

What a big day! That's awesome about her walking. I got to witness Zoey taking 2.5 steps to Heather earlier today....I'd forgotten how sweet those first steps are! Anthony loves Jenny's dolls too...I think he may be getting one in his stocking so that he wont bother her quite so much. :) Can't wait to see the up-to-datest birthday pictures! :) The cake demolition is always my favorite part. Don't forget the rosary and ring!
