1 Year Old

Dear KP,

I can’t believe it has been a year since you came into the world. You have brightened our days, changed our dynamic and made your own mark on our family.

If someone were to ask me what you are like at one year, I would reply:

You are easy going. You are the type of baby people would pay money for. You are the type of baby that if one isn’t too careful, they could get “sucked in” by your ease and think they want another just like you…that rarely happens my friends, don’t get fooled.

You are scheduled and consistent. You want only big kid food now and suddenly you have a discriminating palate. You go to sleep at 6:00 pm and wake up cooing in your crib at 6:30 am.

You are joyful and good natured. You interact with everyone and all things around you: playing games, doing things to get attention and actually laughing at the craziness that surrounds you.

You love to play with your siblings. The favorite seems to be Monster Baby. You just so happen to be the monster, the big kids run circles around you while you slide your belly across the floor with your big right toe and they scream, “MONSTER BABY, MONSTER BABY”. When your siblings are not around, you play nicely by yourself, but then there are moments when you look up and seem lost without them near.

You, my little nugget, are absolute joy and happiness and love. Thank you for being here with us. We love you.

Happy 1st Birthday!
