Suzanna: A Whole Year Passed By

Here are Suz's feet moments after she was born.

And here they are a year later. It's hard to believe that Suzanna has been in our lives for more than a year. One of these days she'll be using these feet for walking. But it took her almost a year to crawl, so walking may be a few more months away.

She will stand for a few seconds without holding on to anything. She is in to everything. We have officially childproofed our house which includes putting a gate up in the kitchen which she wasn't too happy about. Despite that, we still let her get in there and the office once and a while to tear things up a bit. She loves exploring: pulling toilet paper off the roll, pulling pots and pans out of drawers, and generally putting all foreign objects into her mouth that she can find.

Her favorite toys are her piano, we can tell her to go play a song and she'll crawl over and start playing a tune. She loves stories and playing with her farm. At Grandma & Grandpa's house she likes to rock on her Tiger and play outside smelling the flowers. We've scaled back on the daily baby Einstein video a bit, so that's always a treat when we turn it on. She is just the joy of our lives.



 
Here's a picture of Suzanna one year ago almost to the day. What a whole lot of difference 12 months makes. From the moment we met her, she's been such a delightful, happy spirit. I know I'm getting all sentimental here. But I'm allowed because I'm a mommy.
