This is what I feel like doing today

Throwing a tantrum. No, no, no!!! My baby is going to be 1 tomorrow. It doesn’t even seem possible. She is growing way to fast. I was just noticing last night it is time to change out her sleepers again. Her little toes are busting the seams of her 6-12 month sleepers. She is really starting to talk too. Mamma, Dadda, dog, more, she tries Jack, and today Av and I were talking about what our last name was and I was repeating Hoekstra for Av to say it correctly and I swear Camille was trying to say it. It sounded pretty close and she was saying both syllables too. She cruises everywhere. Today I left my coffee on the coffee table and before I knew it she had it. She didn’t spill it but she was putting her little hand in it and then licking her hand. She was mad when I took it away. She was also sitting on the floor watching Sid the Science kid and eating dry cereal next to Avery. It was so cute. Again she got very mad when it was time to go and I had to take it from her. She stands now too. She will pull up to something, grab a few toys and then stand there not holding onto anything but the toys. She tests it as well. If you are lying on the floor she will crawl over, stand herself up using you and then let go and stand up the rest of the way. She will kind of bounce and shift her weight testing it all out. She will not take a step yet though. If you try to get her too she will drop down and crawl to you. She is impossible grocery shop with. All she wants to do is stand up in the cart. That safety strap they have on those things is a joke. Instead of sitting in her little chairs she wants to stand in them. She eats everything. The more flavor the better. She ate a quesadilla last night with beans, ground turkey, salsa and cheese. She also had sugar snap peas and cooked carrots. She wants to be eating EVERYTHING I eat. She could have just finished a meal but if she sees me with something she will crawl over and beg until she gets it. She is just like a little doggy. Recently too what she has on her tray is not good enough. She has to be eating the food off my plate. She used to want to eat everything herself but now she wants me to feed her off my plate. She also likes to bite off things instead of having small finger food sizes given to her. I gave her whole spinach ravioli last night and she came back for thirds. Her favorite in the morning are mini bagels with soy butter on them.

FYI that pic of Av throwing the tantrum is old. It was taken in Jan 2008. Just liked the visual.
