She's officially 1! What a wonderful year it has been. A few things I've learned...
- You can do a whole lot of work to get a baby to come out of you, but it doesn't mean that she will like you even close to as much as she loves her Daddy. Extremely unfair.... especially since I'm the one who will have to rock stretchmarks and a swimsuit with a skirt the rest of my life.
- Babies actually CAN be born mean. She's a feisty one and always has been!
- We will be investing in pre-paid legal services. Lila thinks the word "No" is simply a suggestion.
- Thinking it's hilarious when other people fall down/get hurt must be hereditary because Lila enjoys it almost as much as I do.
- Some one-year-olds will eat their weight in pulled pork. I have a feeling we have a future competitive eater on our hands.
- Tooth #6 has emerged! You've got quite the toothy grin!
- You attended your first 4th of July parade. You were generally irritated and HOT. Check out the sweet hair... I intend to use this picture in your high school yearbook.
The fireworks show later that night was a huge hit. Something about explosives really held your attention.- On July 13th, you had your first frosty sippy of milk. You were a fan!
- You've got a ridiculous vocabulary for your age. Your Dad and I calculated 12 words that you are using regularly. Your pediatrician didn't believe us until you told him "Thank You" and pointed out the "lights" in his office. (I can only imagine the words that will come out of your mouth in the future when someone doesn't believe you...)
- You wave when you say "Hiiiiiii" and "Byyyyyye."
- And, you have officially started walking. When you fall down. You laugh. You're a strange child, but I'm glad you are laughing with me.
- You had your first birthday party. Your favorite part was the frosting!
- You weigh in at a healthy 19 lbs 6 oz, and are 28 1/2" long.
Now, let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into...
Just another day Being Billingsley...
