Cruising along

B will be 1 year old a week from tomorrow. It always goes so darn fast (and then painfully slow at times too). But I can't believe she will be a year old. She really is turning into a cutie too.

She was always a great baby. She rarely cried, slept well, ate well, smiled on command. Now, she still does all those things but with a little of her personality coming out. She is such a little flirt. She smiles at just the right time, to whoever is looking at her. If you aren't paying close enough attention to her, she'll throw her hands in the air so you will say "Who is so big." Out comes the biggest smile. She is really getting around, and fast. If you turn your head for a minute (which I do all the time) she is probably upstairs or on her way up. She even climbs up the slide!! And pretty well too.

She says uh oh, but mostly sounds like some ancient dinosaur I can't spell. Lots of high pitched happy squeals. She loves her sisters, who most of the time treat her well. Sometimes it is hard to understand why she just crawled over the puzzle you worked for the last half hour on and broke it all up. Understandable.

I really hope b keeps this great personality. I think she will be a happy person if she does. Although i must note she has a bit of the Irish temper. If she is on her way to get something and you a) close the gate b) pick it up, she will a) stop in her tracks b) scream. But she is easily distracted, so that is good.

B will be having a Bee first birthday party on the 20th at a local park. I have been working on it for a month now. I hope it turns out nice and does not rain! Not that she'll know. But she will see pictures when she is older.
