My little luv bug
Oh how this little girl holds my heart, she is just so much fun and bring so much joy in to our family. Cupid brought some gifts for her; pinky the jaguar, play necklaces and bracelets, and big girl cups/plates/utensils. She found the jaguar while we were out shopping one afternoon a couple of weeks ago and she would not let that thing go. She is just in love with it along with her baby dolls. It is so fun having a girl!

Mary is almost 14 months old and she is constantly changing and growing up so fast!
I weighed her with me on the scale and she is 20 pounds.
She can sign for milk! So exciting to finally see her grasp on to what we are teaching her. She loves to be read to, play kid apps on my phone, she is such a little smarty pants and knows how to use my smart phone haha!
She loves to play with toys that she can stack on top of each other or put in/out of a bucket. I used an old large wipes case and cute most of the rubber part off (where the wipes are pulled out of) and thanks to my mom and sister they saved a ton of lids from juices, milk, other drinks that I can put in side and she will just sit forever pulling them out and putting them back in through the hole. Why do we buy our kids toys?! So funny how entertained they can get by the smallest things.
She is very much a mama's girl. Every morning we'll bring her in to our bed and play with her and she always cries when I get up and leave the room or even just to stand up.
She's not a picky eater and will try everything but just like us some days she isn't in the mood for certain foods which makes it hard some days because I have no clue what she wants and she'll just spit out her jam sandwich or throw her green beans on to the floor. lil stinker.
Is such a good listener and will walk back to us when she has wondered off, is very vocal and quite the little chatter box. She will jabber than be silent waiting for some one to finish talking than jabber again like she is have a regular conversation with that person.
Hates:
being told no and still some times cries, being put in her car seat at time and will do a back bend basically so she isn't strapped in.
Loves:
healthy green drinks! naturally loves candy and chocolate ect. She is in love with music and dancing and knows how to turn on my iHome.
Baby Einstein, Sesame Street, anything with music she loves it.
She'll bob her head up and down to the beat and shake her hips talk about our little entertainer.
Her hemangioma is slowly but surely going down wahoo! her hair is becoming to look like a mullet but it sure enough is getting a bit longer! maybe in another 6+ months I can do some little piggy tails haha. And she is our brown eyed blonde haired girl, so stinking cute.

the little moments
Some times as a mom you go through out your days trying to stay on a routine, trying to catch up on your home, have a hot meal for your husband to have when he gets home from a long day, to take care of yourself. And at times you forget to take in the small moments of what it is to be a mom. Yesterday as Mary would wine each time I would get up from the floor beside her trying to fold clothes, pick up her room or try to sneak in the kitchen to load the dish washer I finally gave in and just sat next to her watching her play. She would bring me a book and sit on my lap wanting to turn the pages herself. She wasn't paying attention to the mess around us, my hair that was in desperation of needing a style, and face with no make up on. All she wanted was her mom holding her reading stories and playing together.
So blessed and grateful to call this sweet girl my daughter, I must have done some thing right in my life to deserve to be her mom.

I have just been awful about taking pictures... With all of the hype and excitement having a toddler for the holidays I have just been enjoying the moments and not remembering to capture them.
Thanksgiving day we spent with Ryans family at his grandparents home and than had our own Thanksgiving the following day with my family. Which of course I didn't take pictures at either place. Fail.
We spent Christmas Eve at my parents home, she was spoiled with clothes, pj's, and toys.
Ryan and I were spoiled with money, ps3 players and Just Dance, Food Processor, the new Batman and ALL of the Harry Potter dvd's! We had a bomb Christmas.
So here are the few pictures of our walking girl opening her Christmas gifts. That's right she is a full on walker now! So flippin cute watching her be able to walk and explore on a new level.
Her smiles kill us, she has such a cheeser smile I love it. She so far has two teeth on the bottom and top showing with a tooth coming on it's way from both top and bottom a long with a couple of molars!
Teething time is so fun..
I can't wait till she is done teething!

Look Whooo turned one!
Naturally with MJ having an owl themed bedroom we had to incorporate it in with her birthday! We did the birthday party at my parents home and thanks to my sweet little nieces and nephew who came and helped decorate, keep Mary entertained I was able to get everything done. With Thanksgiving and work I wasn't able to get much done before hand so the entire day of her party was spent baking and getting decor up. Yes yes I know it's her first birthday and she wont remember a thing but she'll have pictures to look back on and hopefully think I did a fairly cute job.
I still can't believe I have a one year old, time really does just go by way too quickly. We are so grateful for our family that came to celebrate with us, Mary sure is lucky to have so many people who love her.

12 months!
I know I say this every month but seriously where has the time gone?! I can't believe it has now been a year since Mary came in to our lives. Sunday 11/20/2011 was the day that has changed our lives forever and for the better. We love our sassy, sensitive sweet girl.
update: weight 19 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches long. I for sure thought she would weigh a bit more with all the food she eats! And great news, her hemangioma on her back is getting smaller, yay!!
Fun Facts: Wears size 3-4 shoes, 3 diapers, 9+month clothing, She'll eat pretty much anything it's awesome she even likes olives and mushrooms (sick) she isn't afraid of strangers but has her moments where she has to either be in my arms or at least have me sitting by her (heaven forbid I leave the room to let her play so I can do laundry!) She is taking steps! She has had great balance for awhile just needs the confidence to continue walking. She's pretty comfortable crawling and doing the bear crawl (which is great to save her lace leggins and pants!)
Loves: Playing on my phone she loves the app 'zoodles' it's amazing because she can't mess up my phone and pause the music videos like you can on you tube or get out of the app unless I do it. Plus you get a free app for it each week!
Still loves her wubbanubs (so do I!) playing with her birthday dolls and toy walker. Bath time is always a favorite and I can't wait till the semester is over for Ryan so we can do more swimming with her.
Hates: This list is always so short since she is typically such an easy baby. She some times hates being fed and wants to do it herself, hates loud noises aka vacuum, bullet mixer, ect, some times cries when I tell her no like when she tosses her food all over the floor when she's full or wants to get in to the garbage..sorry babe but no treasures in there!
She is so good to share and always hands me some thing when I ask her to. She has her top two teeth and bottom teeth so far. Is our little talker and mimics us. She'll say ''hot, pants, mama, daddy, doggy, yucky, owl, ouch, and attempts to say flowers" Seriously can not imagine life with out this girl.
