Tess - 1 year

How is our little peanut already one year old?! She is walking, trying to repeat words, clapping and not wanting to sit down. Ever. Not even in the tub or high chair, and especially not while at Wegman's or Target. This is one busy little girl. She was sick, teething and has scabs on the tops of every single toe from Joey taking her for a ride in the red push car, but she performed. Come on, we all knew she'd be fine with a cake in front of her. If there's one thing P like to do, it's eat! She walks around the house screaming MY with her hand out whenever she hears a package opening or someone in the kitchen. She is something! 

Things I'd like to remember:

She has 4 teeth. The top 2 teeth are coming in going different directions, like East and West.

She loves playing rough with the boys and is not afraid to pile jump when she sees an opportunity. 

She smiles and does a little dance when she hears a song she likes. 

Has a few words: Dada, My, Mama, Bubba, Ow.

Her favorite item is "Pinky," her pink blanket that she pulls out of her crib and rubs up to her nose when she's tired.

She sucks her tongue to soothe herself and go to sleep.

Loves to sleep in her crib, definitely the easiest baby to put to bed. She doesn't make a peep. 

Loves any type of ball or sword the boys leave behind.

Favorite thing to do is to go up the stairs or roll away while you are changing her diaper.

Happy Birthday baby girl!! We may have to call you the baby forever, even though you have thought you were 4 since birth. 

It takes a village. I owe a huge thank you to Mary O'Sullivan and Fran for coming over to help entertain this little stinker and to Kelley Comerford for the beautiful floral arrangement she created for the cake! Thank you so very much!!!
