Well today is my birthday. A day that will live in infamy...or something like that. I have grown and changed so much my family hardly recognizes me. Alright, so thats an overstatement, but it is solely for the purpose of emphasis. My life has changed so much in the last 365 days here and I don’t know how to take it all. I have regressed slightly, and advanced greatly. I am independent, strong willed and have a temper. I am funny and happy and oh so dramatic and I have the sad face DOWN; no doubt about that. My parents are throwing me a big birthday party and although they say it’s for me, it’s clearly for them. Either way, we are going to have a blast with all of our friends and fa
mily. I am so excited to see my baby friends that I haven’t seen in awhile and anxious to see how they have grown; and although I must admit, there are some of my favorite people who will be missing this big event, I understand their need to be away and am looking forward to celebrating when they return. First, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty; things that I am doing new: Walking/semi-baby-joggingEating solely big kid foodDancing crazy to musicClimbing up stairs and work on getting down themSaying so many new thingsThrowing HUGE temper tantrumsGetting 4 new teethFiguring out how to work my toys like they are supposed to workTurning on and off the TVWave bye byePlay patty cakeDrink from a big kid cupPlay ball with youListen and respond to what is being told to meTurn pages on her booksBring spoon to her mouth and try to feed herselfPull of socks and shoes...and well, the rest of my clothesPlays with her friendsCan show me pictures of animals in booksGives kissesStruggling with separation from mommy and daddyDEMAND that I feed myselfGet into a standing position from squattingAttempts to climb out of the playpen by climbing on top of her toys
In regard to my temper tantrums, they are vicious. I throw such a big fit. Although this has been on the up and up for the last couple of months, now it is in (what mom hopes is) full swing. My scream has been perfected and my fake cry is nearly flawless. Mom tries not to give in, but I can be convincing. I am going to try to get away with murder. I can already see it; my teenage years are going to be rough for mom and dad.
My first Halloween was
amazing and mom an
d dad and I went out trick or treating in Grandma and Grandpas neighborhood. It was so neat to see all the kids in their costumes and to get to show off my beautiful fairy princess outfit. I sure looked cute, everyone said so. Dad dressed up with me and mom really flaked out.
I love music so much now that I will stop what I am doing just to listen to whatever is playing. I love to hear the beats and I try to mimic them. Dad and I continue to have special time on his guitar and I can’t wait until I get one of my own to bang on; just like dad!
Bath times are getting rather interesting. I love to lay down in the tub on my back. I just throw myself back there and hope that mom is there to break my fall, I am a good swimmer though and can maneuver in that water better than I can on dry land. I get so anxious when it is bath time and I slap the tub until mom puts me in...what can I say? I know what I want.
My cats are still my favorite (Boris still doesn’t like me) and I chase them around the house attacking, er, I mean, loving, them. I cuddle and romp and slap and pinch and pull and tug and any other describing word that you would like to use and typically they just take it. Which really makes it convenient for me because chasing them around can get so tiring. Sometimes after a long chas
e I just rest my head on their backs. They are just so cuddly.
I still see my Nonnie every other weekend and we have SOOO much fun. She was making me laugh so hard last weekend because she kept putting on my hat. I knew it was mine and she KEPT putting it on! She did look very cute as a mouse though.
I am still hanging out with my friend Keegan and we LOVE to be together. We get sad when I have to leave, but I am pretty happy to be back with my mommy after a long day at Miss Cassies house.
Otherwise things are fairly normal in the Thomas household, aside from the rush of things to get done before my birthday party. Mom is making dad clean the carpets...ha.
