You Are My I Love you

Happy Birthday my tiny non-sleeping baby. I can't believe it has been a year since we brought all 5 lbs and 4 ounces of you home with us. So much has happened in your one year. I have no idea what life was like without you. (I have forgotten cuz of lack of sleep. I officially have Momheimers.) I think that is why I started this blog. So I could remember your babyhood.

Now that you are 12 months old you are talking up a storm. Not all of it is understandable or decipherable.  Here is a list of the words and phrases you have uttered so far:  Dada, Mama, mine, I do, I get, I want. "Mom, have? Mom, want? Apple, Bath, (pronounced baff) Gamamama, Philip or Bup. Puff.  Bunny or bun-bun, (name for your blankie). Num or nummy (when you want to nurse and take a nap).

You kiss the cats way more than we would like you to. You crawl everywhere. So far you have stayed away from the cat boxes. You still wake once or twice in the middle of the night if we are lucky. You love your fuzzy bunny blanket and sleeping without it is out of the question. You do something new everyday. You always have a smile for us. You love your brother. You are our Ellie Beans. You are My I love You.
