I know this is a month overdue but I finally got my computer to upload a picture! (Grandparents- Ill get pics to you).
It was Indee's BIG 1 Birthday on July 23rd! She is such a blessing to us and I can not get enough of her!! I never thought I could love her this much and everyday I love her sooo much more! She is full of so much vibrance and personality! She is such a good, loving, happy little girl:)
Here are some things she is doing: (I will add to the list as I remember because I will eventually print this for our family journal:))
- She says: Mommy, Daddy, doggy, birdie, ball, no, passi, blankie, amen(or "AH"), baby, hello, hiiiiii, buh bye,
- Runs!!!! She has been walking for the past few months
- Is VERY good at climbing stairs and loves to scare mommy by letting go of the railings.
- Can potty on the toilet- well she has a few times- that counts right? lol
- folds her arms for prayers
- opens books and talks as if she is reading them to me
- Can get things when I tell her to (ex: "Go get your shoes")
- When I say lets go "BYE BYE" she runs to the door and starts pounding on it
- Runs to daddy when he gets home from school
- Can scoot forwards on a little sit down scooter (This took her a while to learn- she went backwards for a long time)
- She claps
- She waves
- She feeds herself and hasnt let us feed her since 8 months old
- goes down for bed without a peep for the most part; sometimes she will cry for her bed
- She will not sit still during a diaper change!
- She loves animals and calls every animal a "doggy"
- she loves babies and gets down to talk to them in baby talk (like adults do to her)
- She pats, shushes, and feeds her babies- She also makes a crying noise for them and hushes them :)
- Fake cries all the time- lol
- Likes to blow bubbles in the bath tub
- Likes to help with laundry, dishes and cleaning
- LOVES outside
- Doesnt get along with babies her own age to well- She always wants their toy and visa versa
- When she wants something she says "MA- MA- MA" until I actually do it
- Gives kisses and hugs when you ask for it
- loves kids

She is so loving and I am sooooooooo grateful that we got to have her!!! I already get sooo stressed thinking about "what if I dont teach her right?", "What if she makes bad decisions?". I know its a little premature, but I love her so much I dont ever want to lose her. I feel like I get a tiny glimpse of what our Heavenly Father must feel when we make bad decisions!!
Indee Rae- We love you more than we can show and say!! You mean the world to us! You are such a sweetheart and I could not have asked for better!! Thank you for making our home so blessed and for making us such proud parents!! :)
