What a difference a few months make with a baby! I can still remember the days of Vivie lying on the bed or on the floor and not being able to move while I got all kinds of things done around the house. Those days are long gone! Vivie is practically running, and doing all sorts of adorable things that make me smile and laugh each day.
I cannot believe she is 17 months old and I now have a toddler running through my house. Each day she amazes me with something new. It is also amazing to me how quickly the days go by. Giving baths, cooking meals, going on play dates, grading papers, reading books, cleaning house, and about a million other things are dominating our lives at the moment. Some days it seems like I don't even get to talk to Shane until 8 o'clock! Needless to say, I have had a difficult time keeping up with a blog. However, I wanted to take a minute for a "status update" on Vivie since she infuses my life daily with her joyful spirit.
Here is an update on who Vivie is right now:
You are currently 24 pounds and growing rapidly! Your little chubby legs and arms are always getting squeezed by mommy!
You LOVE Sesame Street - especially when they sing. My favorite thing you do right now is dance. You shimmy your little shoulders and just thinking about it makes me smile.
I probably let you watch more television than you should - but you are so cuddly and sweet on the couch that I can't help it! It is the only time you slow down.
Your favorite word is dog. You say it all the time! You like little dogs, but big dogs are still a little scary. You love to pet Stella.
Your first sentence was "It's hot." It has been over 100 degrees so it was a very accurate sentence!
You love running through the house - the little pitter-patter of your feet is one of my favorite sounds in the world.
Your favorite foods are grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, beans, applesauce, and ice cream. You are not a picky eater yet!
You love baby dolls and I love that you love them. It is so cute to watch you feed them, pretend to bathe them, put diapers on them, and kiss on them.
You are so affectionate right now - you are getting really good at giving kisses!
It is getting more difficult to take you places right now. You want to walk and not be contained by the stroller, and you get really upset sometimes if you do not get what you want. The temper tantrums are a new experience for us! We are still working on dealing with those!
You are a total daddy's girl - mommy gets a little jealous sometimes because you are always wanting him.
You are such a joy to me. I had no idea how much fun you would be and how much I would adore watching you grow. Stay tuned for the next big milestone - potty training!
