It's Coming!!!

My birthday!!! It's coming!!!!! On Tuesday!

Mama said that one year ago she didn't know who I was yet. She said she was excited to meet me and see me and get to know me...but she had to wait till March 3 to do that.

And now, she's known me for almost an entire year!

She said that I've changed a lot since that first time she met me. Back then, I was good, really, really good at doing 4 things. Wanna guess what they were?..... YEP! Eating, sleeping, crying, and making a big ol' mess in my diaper. You know, I still do pretty well with those things...but I've added quite a bit to my list of accomplishments.

For example...
*when Mama sticks a camera in front of my face, I know it's time to smile and have a happy face.

*if Mama asks me where my blanket is (we only practice this one when we're upstairs) I can find it.

*I know where Mama's nose is. Sometimes she lets me touch it. Sometimes.

*when Daddy gets ready to leave for work and says "Bye-bye!!", I know it's time to wave.

*I know that if I stand at the kitchen gate and yell long enough, Mama will let me in. And then I can play with all the fun kitchen things... like the fridge magnets... and the cookbooks... and Mama's bags of flour....

*sometimes I'm hungry. Very hungry! And I need to remind Mama of that very fact. I like to be loud at the table. But just sometimes.

*oh, and speaking of food, if I don't like my menu selection, I've discovered a convenient way of disposing of said offensive food. I just take it out of my mouth and drop it on the floor. Mama says I'm being a silly goose, but I just consider it a lesson in science. You know, just testing gravity one more time.

*my mouth is good for something besides just eating... I can "say" things. Well, try to anyway.

I hope you come back and join in all the birthday celebrations on Tuesday!!!
