(Nearly) One-Year-Old Sweetie

Well, our Baby Girl is fast approaching her big one-year mark, so I thought I'd compile some fairly recent pictures of her before that milestone is long gone.

C starting taking steps by herself on Saturday, November 3. She'd been standing by herself (randomly standing up in the middle of the room with no assistance) and creeping (holding on to furniture and walking) everywhere, so we knew she could do it. Papa and I were sitting downstairs while the kids played, and she crawled over to the coffee table. Except she didn't make it. Instead, she stopped, stood up, and took two steps to reach it. We think she forgot that she wasn't crawling. In the last week, she's gone from three or four steps at a time to ten or twelve. So now it's onward-ho to staggering, running, and general speediness for little C! Happy early birthday, Sweetheart.

 
 

And to think: just yesterday (it seems), she was only this big!

Look at all that hair! She's giving Ainsley a run for her money.

@ Rachel: HAAA! Maybe in fifteen years I'll be able to put her hair in 'tails. :) Meanwhile, Lady A will be starring in shampoo commercials.

Enjoy her! What a sweetie! I love to see dresses on her in some of the photos!
I'll let you know though my third born is the most mischievous and I have to always be one step ahead of him. I would guess if she's walking already she'll be the same.

I see lots of pink ;) (j/k, of course--I am learning that there seems to be some unwritten rule that if you have a baby girl, there will be pink.) That said, C is super adorable. Love those pictures! It amazes me how fast little ones grow--she's SO BIG now!!!!

@Ewe: Thanks for your post! Yes, we're finding that, too. I'm just waiting for the climbing to start. :)

@KJB: I'm a total fraud. You figured it out! Not only does she wear pink; I actually BOUGHT HER PINK CLOTHES FOR HER BIRTHDAY. Shame, shame, shame. :)
