One Year!!

We had a wonderful and relaxing family weekend. On Saturday we spent a lazy day hanging around the house and watching college football. It was great watching TCU beat up on Baylor! Trey's family was in town for a wedding, so on Sunday we all went to Mass together and ordered in Charleston's during the Cowboys game. Too bad the boys couldn't pull it together.

Now that Vivi is officially 1 year old and almost a toddler, I think this will be my last monthly update. She has grown into such a sweet little girl, and we are so proud of her! Here's what she's doing at 1 year:

• Has 6 teeth! Getting those 4 upper teeth have given her the cutest little grin, and she knows how to chew with her front teeth.
• Still likes to watch Wonder Pets! and LOVES the theme song. She smiles every time she hears it. She has recently really started to enjoy Sesame Street. Her favorite thing is the Preschool Musical song, check out her dance moves on Facebook!
• Goes to bed at 8ish and has sleeping in until 830 or 9.
• Puts herself to sleep every night and at nap time, but naps are a little erratic these days. I think we are on our way to transitioning to one nap a day!
• Is starting to become more opinionated about what she likes to eat. I think I need to invest in a toddler cookbook!
• Loves her blankie. A lot.
• Still loves music. Sometimes we will catch her "shaking her booty" and dancing to music on TV.
• Loves her brother Drake! She has learned how to throw the ball for him, although he wishes she could throw farther.
• Loves going for walks in her stroller or just generally being outside. Now that the weather is cooling down to the 90s we are able to spend more time outside, which she loves!
• Your blackberry/iphone/ipad is her favorite toy.
• LOVES other babies. And loves to look at herself in the mirror and will give the baby in the mirror kisses.
• Still loves reading books. I caught her reading to herself the other day, it was so cute!
• Loves to exercise her vocal chords. She says "Dada, Da (dog), Mama, and bath"
• Is still learning baby sign language.
• Is crawling EVERYWHERE!
• Can pull up like a pro, and cruises around the furniture. She can take a couple of steps towards me unassisted, but isn't too sure about the whole walking thing. She gets around so efficiently on her hands a knees! One of her new favorite things to do is push her stroller around the house. That will get those legs moving!
• Graduated to size 4 diaper.
• Is wearing 6-9, 9-12, and 18 month clothes. Who knows what size she really is?!
• Is wearing a size 3 shoe, she has tiny feet!
• Loves when Daddy sings one of his many made up songs.
• Can wave hi, bye-bye and clap her hands appropriately!
• Some nicknames include: Princess Peanut, Peanutsky, Princessca, Vivs, Miss V, Goozle, Ma-goozle
