Sweet face

I love this little girl so much. Everyday is something new. Right now she is addicted to her "strollie" (that's stroller). I picked up this little baby stroller at a yard sale for 50 cents and she wants to push it and take it with her everywhere. This weekend we literally had to put it in the car in order for her to go to the park. And she gets so upset when the wind catches the material and it flies up. She thinks it is broken or something. So something has to be in the seat at all times to keep this from happening.

She used to be such a good eater, but lately she won't eat. Breakfast is the hardest. She takes about three bites and she's done. Bananas used to be her favorite, but now she won't go near them. But she still loves pasta. Sometimes Michael gives her macaroni and cheese for breakfast just so she'll eat. And the other day she thought the squash on her plate was pasta so she devoured it. Her new thing is to "dip". I'll give her ketchup or ranch dressing with her meal and the dipping action usually helps in the eating process. I caught her dipping tortilla chips in ketchup this past weekend. If she likes it that's all that matters.

She loves to jump. Even if her feet never leave the ground. She jumps off the stool, off the curb, off the grass to the driveway. Most of the time it's just a small step, but in her one year old mind it is probably one of the biggest leaps she's ever taken. The smile that forms on her face when she accomplishes those jumps melts my heart every time.

She's very lovey. She'll give you kisses and hugs. She snuggles with her daddy. And when she's thrown a small fit and knows she's done something wrong, she'll come over and give me a kiss and say "sorry". How can you be upset after that. How can you ever be anything but in love with that sweet face.
