my sweet alice is less than a month from reaching the impressive one year mark. looking back at how active she is, and how much she's grown, i'm still a bit skeptical that this is the same baby i brought home from the hospital.
as i type, she is pushing her "lawnmower" around with ease, which reminds me why i started up this post. wednesday, for the first tme ever, alice started walking. now of course, she's not exclucisvely bipedular, but she takes a few steps here an there. i am so proud!
alice's language acquisition is also on the rise, she mimics "uh oh" whenever billy or i say it, though it mostly sounds like "oh oh oh" = ) i'm convinced she's trying to say "bear" (as in pooh bear) but billy thinks it sounds more like "pah" = ) she'll get there i'm sure. she's pretty good at mimicing tone, she can's say "tweet tweet", but she'll attempt the tone we give the name.
she has outgrown almost everything in her closet with a 12 month tag, and 18 month clothes are fitting her pretty well these days. she's still in size 3 diaper, i don't know how much longer that will last.
i recently completed my least favorite chore of the entire summer, which was enrolling her in a new daycare. her old one is too far out of the way from our new house, but i think the center she is in will be a good fit. they are small, but have a camera available for us to peek in on her classroom anytime we would like. hopefully that will make the transition a little bit easier.
for now, i'm going to enjoy the last few precious days with my little alice before taking a few optional inservice days, then we'll have one last week before i head back to work.
is it june yet?
