My sweet Honor turned ONE!! I begin this post a little teary eyed that my sweet baby girl is already a year old. How time has flown!! She has been the most precious blessing to our family. She is a perfect fit for us in every way! I wanted to record some of her milestones on her first birthday:
She has developed THE sweetest disposition. She loves her Mommy, Daddy and Ah-Ah (Asher). Giving kisses is her favorite!
She has several words now; some real words and some words she says that only we know what they mean: Mommy, Daddy, Ah-ah for Asher, she says bik-bik for book, hey, bye, nana for banana (that was one of her first words), ball, baby and she has a word for juice(it sounds like gun-gun). She also signs several things: more, please, mommy, daddy, and eat. She is very verbal and will repeat almost anything you say to her, most recently she has begun night-night, Nonnie, Mimi, Papa, bath, but doesn't say those things on her own yet.
She has taken a few steps, but isn't full blown walking yet. She prefers to crawl because it's faster for now. *Update--I wrote this post a while ago and am just now publishing it, but as of now she is WALKING! She took her first steps on Memorial Day weekend and now prefers to walk everywhere. I will admit, it is a little sad for me, but I LOVE to watch her waddle around like she is big stuff.
She loves to eat! My girl is serious about her food!! Her favorite foods are: bananas, green beans, blueberries, eggs, chicken nuggets, cheese and her most recent interest: hot dogs.
She loves to read and play trains and sometimes baby dolls, but usually she just wants to do whatever big brother is doing.
She sleeps all night and has done so for a while now. She is a much better sleeper than Asher ever was and prefers to be laid in her bed and fall asleep on her own, which Asher still doesn't like to do. While I do love the bedtime rocking routine, it is nice to be able to cuddle for a moment and then allow her to go to sleep on her own.
We had a fun birthday party for sweet Hon-bon and had some friends and family over to celebrate our girl. We had fabulous cupcakes and some goodies. It was a beautiful day so we played inside, ate yummy food and just enjoyed spending time with some of our favorite people. Here are some pictures from her party.
