Hattie Turns 1!


I can hardly believe that our baby girl is a 1 year old. She is a toddler. She is a wild, loving, and sweet little girl. :) We have enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her which that and our busy life have kept me from posting this most important update.

  • Hattie has all eight incisor teeth - four on the top and four on the bottom. I also noticed just today that her top molars are starting to come through. 
  • Her favorite food is cottage cheese these days she eats it by the handfuls.
  • She says "Ma-ma" all the time and tells us when she is ready to go "Ni-night".
  • Hattie is starting to say a lot of new words including book, Elmo (Melmo), quack quack, ball, basketball (b-ball), yeah, yay, etc.
  • When we ask if she wants to go to the basement she walks over and starts tapping on the door to go downstairs.
  • Walking is definitely her made mode of transportation at this time and has been for several weeks.
  • We were attempting to get her 1 year pictures taken about two weeks ago and the poor girl hit her head on the window sill. She went to put her hand on it, missed it and fell forward into the edge and hit between her eyes. Mommy might have panicked slightly. We went to the doctor, she got some glue on a cut on the outside corner of her eye, and was deemed to be ok. :)
  • Hattie likes to cuddle and be held by her Mom and Dad.
  • She is still a little anxious around people she is unfamiliar with.
  • Hattie is enjoying books a lot more these days and wants to read them with us all the time now. Her attention span has greatly improved. 
Remember what the second year was like with Emmett makes me look forward to everything we are going to experience with Hattie over this next year. She is going to learn so much. It will be so fun to see. She is my sweet little Mama's girl and we are enjoying her so much at one year old.
