Seeing Ophelia turn one, I kept thinking back to the day I first saw her and got to hold her. She has grown up so fast! She was born at 6 lbs and 19.25 inches and now she is all the way up to 19 lbs and 29.75 inches. As far as growth charts are concerned, she is skinny and tall, which I have no idea where she gets that from. I guess she can eat all the cake she wants - no weight problems for her!
It has been a wonderful year for us - Ophelia's first year of life. I can't believe the incredible amount of change that each baby goes through. I babysat a two-month old baby Carter this past week, who doesn't hold his head yet. Ophelia seemed so big and so heavy all of the sudden. Where did my sweet bundle of joy go? Can she be hiding in that cutie-pie toddler walking around all over the house with her arms in the air (for balance's sake)? It's been so much fun watching her developing first sounds, first babble noices, making first steps, first falls (that one was not so much fun), first smiles, first laughs, her first discoveries of toys, people, animals, books, TV, remote control, cell phones, car keys... Everything is so new and so exciting! I am so grateful to be her mother and to have this little person in my life!
We went on a walk today and Ophelia saw a cat. She was way excited and kept barking at it and showing the dog sign no matter how much I was meouing and showing the cat sign.
