Belated Birthday, belated everything.

Wow, I am way behind. We have been so busy with the holidays and birthdays etc. Not to mention the fact that I can not get the computer out or Channing comes over and pounds every button and screams at me until I put it away. Needless to say, I don't know when my next post will be. Channing's birthday is old news now, but I of course want to remember it. She turned the big one back on November 10th. Yes, I am still in denial. I can't believe this little ball of joy has been in our family for a year now. I can't remember life before her, and I am so thankful for her and Makoy in my life. We had a fun little party for her at home. She didn't care about the presents or decorations, but she did love having her own little cupcake. I also wanted to throw in a few pictures of Halloween. Yes, I know. That was also forever ago. Channing was a goldfish and Makoy was a storm trooper or some boyish thing. ;) I am not really sure what it was, but I know he was happy with it.


Here are some things little miss Channers is doing that I want to remember.

-She weighs 19 lbs and is 27 inches. She is the shortest little thing.
-She says momma, dadda, pap pap (passi) hot, ho ho ho at every Christmas tree, good girl, rawr, baby, bah bah (bottle), bath, uh oh. She also shakes her head no and tells me "na uh." She is a little spunky child! She also loves to bark at every animal, or snowman, or whatever she thinks is an animal.
-She does the sign language for drink, bottle, more, bath, eat, and baby.
-She started walking at ten months. She now runs all over and has started to become a little climber.
-She is not a picky eater at all. She loves cucumbers, pickles, zucchini, spicy foods, beans, tomatoes...on and on.
-Ever since watching Home Alone, she slaps her cheeks and screams like he does in the movie. So hilarious! She has the funnest personality.
-She comprehends so much. If you ask her to bring you her shoes, she goes and gets them. Ask her to go night night, she walks to her crib. There are too many things to list, but it's been really fun seeing how much she is learning.
-She LOVES to read books. She will sit on your lap and let you read to her forever.
-She also loves music. She will bring me my phone and I know what she's wanting, mommy to turn music on. As soon as I do, she is walking all over the house "singing" and dancing with my phone to her ear.


HALLOWEEN

Little goldfish. I didn't think this costume through, since she couldn't walk in it. She didn't last long in it, but it was sure cute.
Smashed face, the mask didn't last more than five minutes.
Love this
FIRST BIRTHDAY

She was so confused by the presents.
Look at that enthusiasm....


Her favorite part, destroying her own little cupcake.




Ladybug decorations. Koy had so much fun putting these all over.
