One year!

Heidi is one! This little lady has grown up so fast right in front of my eyes. We celebrated her first birthday on September 26th in style. Cupcakes and Champagne with some of our close Misawa friends. We did miss having Dennis here to celebrate but thank goodness for skype. He got to sing his little lady a Happy Birthday song. We just can't wait to celebrate his safe return in the coming month.

Don't let this picture fool you...she had a great time at her birthday! 

At one Heidi is in the 99 percentile for height and the 94 percentile for weight. This girl continues to get bigger and bigger. I swear she looks like she could fit in with the 2 year olds. She has still yet to walk, only one step, but I feel she is SO close. She can go into a standing position from the floor and squat down to get things and go back into a standing position and hold it for over a minute at a time. So the balance aspect is there now she just needs to work up the courage. I know she will figure it out in her own time and then be running before I know it.

Heidi has started swim lessons this month and loves them. She is my little fishy and we are working on blowing bubbles so we can start practicing going under water. She still only has her two bottom teeth but it seems like she might be getting some of her top ones soon. Her favorite foods are cheese, blueberries, peas, peaches, and boiled eggs. She loves to go on runs with mommy, play in the park, feed Kendall, and be chased around. She loves other children and is always wanting to talk to them when we are out and about. Her first word is Dog and I think she might actually be calling me Mama now. Not 100 percent sure on that one but I know it seems to happen most when she is upset about something. She began stacking blocks last month and can give me a high five...when she wants to, of course. This little lady is my pride and joy.

Thank you to everyone who attended her party, that has sent us gifts, and wished Heidi a Happy Birthday on facebook. We really appreciate all the love especially since her Daddy is away.

Below are some pictures where you can watch her transition from birth to present day. My has she grown....

I'm one!
