Ginny turned one almost two weeks ago. She had a fabulous day with Mommy. First, we went to the Zoo, where we met up with Cousin Elliott and Aunt Jessica. We saw lots of cool animals and she got to walk around a bit with Cousin Elliott. Then, we met up with Daddy for lunch at El Indio (yummy!). Then, Daddy had to go back to work, so Ginny and I ran some errands for her birthday party. We then went home and made cupcakes to eat later that night and to share with her friends at school the next day. We went to the mall and met up with Daddy and Auntie Em for dinner at Red Robin (she got a balloon-super fun). We capped off the day with her very first cupcake (complete with a "1" candle and singing of course).
The next day, she had to go back to school, but they threw her a birthday party! She had more cupcakes!
Then, the next day, she had her very first official birthday party. She was visited by lots of family and friends and was overwhelmed by all of the fun toys and cool clothes she received. We have a ton of pictures, but I am writing this at work, so I don't have any to upload here. Later. I promise.
Ginny had her one year checkup today. The doc gave her the big thumbs up! She weighs 20 pounds, 5 ounces; she has gained 13 pounds since she was born (although she is a bit on the light side-25th percentile). She is 29.75 inches long, so she has grown 9.25 inches over the last year. She is tall for her age too-75th percentile!
Ginny has mastered walking and has now moved on to talking. She can say mama, dada, ba ba, hi, yum, up, yes, and no (although not always at the appropriate time). She's also been heard to say a slew of other words from time to time, including Mulan, Alex (other baby at preschool), Lola (dog at preschool) and "all duh" (aka all done). Otherwise, we have a certified teenager on our hands-babbling away all day long!
Next time, pictures.
