How this is possible, I do not know. I can't believe we are closing in on 1 year already. This month was a big one, she had a huge development leap and gained so many new skills. She is able to communicate with us very clearly in a variety of ways now, whether speaking, signing or just in her own little ways. She has clear preferences and opinions and makes them known! Her personality is shining through, and she is turning out to be a goofy and strong-willed little lady. She has been very mommy-centric and pretty much needs to be attached to mama at almost all times to be happy. While this is tiring for mama, I am trying to soak it in and appreciate it as much as I can knowing it won't be long before she wants nothing to do with me! Poor peanut got her first ear infection this month, too, after battling a head cold that swept through the family. As always, she just continues to delight and we fall more and more in love with her everyday!
