Brenna is now 1 year old! I'd like to say that the time flew by but really it didn't. It was a long year full of exhaustion, fun, laughs, and many new friends. We had a big party on Saturday to celebrate her birthday. Friends, old and new, came out to our BBQ at the house and Brenna had a blast. We asked people to hang a buck or two on our Giving Tree (an idea I stole from my neighbor/friend Allison) and we raised $100 to donate to St. Jude Children's Hospital. Of course, not everyone obeyed the no gifts rule and Brenna now has some really cool new toys and clothes. Among her favorites are some new Gator gear, a new red wagon from Grandma and Grandpa and a new table and chairs set from Grammy and Grandpa.
She loved the cake. She dug right in and made a mess of herself but after a quick bath she was ready to go back out and party!
She also had her 12 month checkup this week and weights 22 lb 15 oz, 18.25 inches long. Time to ditch the formula (wooohoooo....my bank account thanks you!). She's an excellent eater right now and among her favorite foods are blueberries, yogurt, cinraison toast, cheese, Mahi Mahi (she loves fish!), ham, turkey, pears, broccoli, and green beans. She has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom with another one just starting to poke through on the bottom.
She's not walking yet but she can crawl FAST!!! She's pulling up on everything and cruising all the furniture but I think we still have a little bit to go before she walks unassisted.
She waves and says "hi" and LOVES LOVES LOVES Peekaboo...like Peekaboo NEVER gets old around this house. She loves helping me with the laundry...she pulls it out of the laundry basket for me to fold and plays... yep, you guess it....Peekaboo with the laundry. She says Dada and makes a great monkey face. Our next mission is the conquer the Gator Chomp before this weekend's game.
Here's a slideshow of her birthday party and 2 videos below the slideshow.
