One Year Old Pics!

Not much commentary, just pictures :) These were taken in April- I'm just really late at putting them up. Look at my growing baby!

 

 

 

 

Another post will be coming very, very soon. I want to insert some more pics into it before publishing it. Talk to you all soon! 

Word of the Day: Ta-Ta

My mother watches my Joy while I'm at work. As it turns out, my mother has been doing more than just making sure that Joy doesn't burn the house down LOL! She's actually been teaching her stuff :) Joy's latest word is "ta-ta", a precursor to "thank you". She's been saying "ta-ta" when handing stuff to other people and when getting things handed to her. I tried teaching it to her but she may have been just a tad too little to understand and repeat what she was hearing. She's gotten really consistent with saying it since my mom has been working with her. I love seeing her turn into a big girl :)

A pic of me and my Joy (both rocking our fros LOL!):

My One Year Old ...

My sweet little one is no longer a baby. She has officially entered the land of toddler-dom. I can't believe how fast this year has gone! I miss having a little cuddly bundle, but seeing her become more independent has been exciting, and I'm learning to love the process :)

Here are a couple of family photos taken two days before her birthday:

 

 

My munchkin looks SO unenthused...

 

This baby frowns better than anybody I know LOL

 

 

These pics are from the weekend right after her birthday. We went to the French Food Festival then walked around in Carytown, a shopping district near our home.

Smiling with Daddy

 

Cheesing for the camera :D

 

 

I thought she would be afraid of the bunny-but she wasn't!

 

She was completely ignoring me LOL!

In Two Weeks ...

I'll have a one year old. Where has the time gone?

New Year, New Posts!

I've been away so long! I will be putting more posts up very soon- I have some great news to share!

Motherhood just keeps getting better and better. I love being a mommy ^_^

Word of the Day: Bittersweet

Well, I return to work on September 24th. I'm disappointed that I have to go back. The arrangement that I anticipated did not work out at all, but I am determined to make the most of this situation.

My sweet baby makes me so happy, and I'll miss spending my days with her. But, on the brighter side of things, I will able to enjoy regular adult conversation again :)

Whatever. That's a crappy consolation prize. I won't be having any more babies until I have the life that I want, that will allow me to stay at home longer than 5 months.
