New Year & First Stepsish! :)

Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve we had Erin and Devin over to play games. Next year we'll have baby Scott to play with too! We ate dinner and played games. You must have known we were supposed to stay up late - you didn't go to bed until 11:15!! Despite my efforts! :)

Here you are in your party outfit! I'm so glad it fit you!!

Here is our last family photo of 2011! 

 

 

The best way to start 2012 was with a church service! It was Sunday so we went to church. I took you to the nursery for the first time! You cried the ENTIRE time I was gone! You were all blotchy when I picked you up! You poor thing! You've never done that before! I am going to take you to the nursery again, but this time I'll ask or a pager in case you get upset again!

ALSO, welcome to 2012! You took two steps last night! You are so good at going from standing to sitting that you don't take any steps, you just go to the floor and crawl! Well, last night you took two steps towards me! You also split your lip trying to walk on Friday! We were at the Zuelke's house and you took a step towards me and face planted on their hard-wood floor. Your lip was SO big and you were bleeding! You are fine, your lip is back at it's normal size - but I was a little worried! We'll keep working on taking those steps - soon enough you'll be running after all the kids at daycare!

For 2012 I'm going to focus on being more ENTHUSIASTIC! I feel that sums up everything I need! I really struggle with the fact that I have to go to school (which isn't always the most pleasant place to be) when I would much rather be with you! So I am going to try to be more positive and upbeat and always look for the silver lining! I know I have to go to school to work and I know it's good for you to be away! So I might as well make the best of it! So I am going to be Enthusiastic in all I do!

I love you sweet girl! It's time to now start planning your FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! :)

Love, Mommy
