I seriously am dumbfounded as to how this year has gone by so fast. I know people say that all the time and it sounds cliche but when you have little ones, it is really important to hold on tight to every moment because they grow so fast!
We were staying at International Palms on Cocoa Beach when she turned 11 months old so we took most of her monthly photos there. We had a mini family vacation and Rosie even came out one night so that Mommy and Daddy could go to dinner alone. Allie had a great time at the beach and resort. They had a little Treasure Island splash area with water slides. She seemed to enjoy it but I know she'd enjoy it more when she was more advanced with her walking. We also had a great time at the beach as she loves splashing in the waves breaking on the shore.
Our little one has been quite busy this summer. I kept saying that I wanted her to be walking by her first birthday because I just felt like her party would be more fun for her if she was walking. Well I'm happy to say she is now a walker! She has been taking steps for about two months now but for the past couple of days, she's been mostly walking and only crawling a little bit. Her walk is very similar to her crawl where it sometimes is kind of sideways like a crab. She's starting to take off though, that's for sure! She's now saying Mama as well which makes me so happy! Just this morning she walked over to me, reached her arms out, and said Mama. It was the sweetest thing! She also loves the sound of her voice and can be quite loud when she wants to. She loves clapping her hands to "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!" She absolutely loves her dogs and can almost always be found terrorizing at least one of them. Her favorites are pretty much the same as last month except for favorite snack I'd probably say has changed to goldfish.
Daddy just finished her swing set which was one of her first birthday gifts and she loves it! She also enjoys her new bounce house which was another first birthday gift. She had her first Build-A-Bear experience at the mall last week with me, her Aunt Mel, and Stella! She got a puppy with red bows and a red apple dress that we named Ruby for her birthstone.
She's in 6-12 month clothes, some 9 month and some 12 month. Her hair is still growing more in the back than in the front but she does have some little curls. It also seems to be lightning up some as it sometimes could look a little blonde. Her eyes are still blue and she has six teeth (4 on top, 2 on the bottom). She's in size 3 diapers.
We are busy planning her first birthday party which is a Mickey Clubhouse theme! I'm so excited to celebrate the biggest blessing in my life! Love you sweet baby girl!
