These past months have gone by so fast. Truly, there is no possible way I will have a one year old in 4 months! That cannot be. Caleb loves watching her grow and it doesn't seem to phase him that she is growing so quickly. I, on the other hand, and considering putting all our money in a time machine. I just want to go back and savor those quiet moments again. We don't have many quiet moments anymore.
Piper has learned many new things this month. She has begun to try and stand on her own, which is terrifying in it's own right. One of my favorite new things is how she constantly sticks her tongue out, especially while she's crawling. Another funny thing she has started to do is put something in her mouth, like a toy or a book, and crawl around with it. I think she's trying to tell us she wants a dog.
Piper has almost outgrown her car seat weight limit. She is currently at 20 lbs and is about 2 and a half feet tall. She is so big!
She has gotten so silly. Piper loves to shake us when we pretend to be asleep. Her favorite food is anything sweet, but she especially likes frozen bananas. Somehow she has learned how to whine. I know what you are all thinking, but there is no way she learned that from me ;) When she gets hungry or tired she follows us around just whining. She has also learned that when she holds up her arms someone will come pick her up.
For about 2 weeks Piper forgot how to fall asleep by herself and we had to sleep train all over again. That was a pain. But she fell asleep on her own for her last nap yesterday and bed-time, so hopefully that's over with. Piper continues to love reading and music. She even sings along to the hymns at church. She loves shoes, like any typical girl and watching Mommy put on makeup. She also loves to talk! Piper will talk to anyone, but my favorite is when she is playing with her toys and starts babbling to herself.
Piper loves going swimming. She doesn't like the splash pad very much, but put her in a pool and she's a happy girl! Piper also loves strangers. She smiles and coos at everyone! Our baby girl loves to make us laugh and if we are upset she'll crawl over and start babbling, laughing and making us smile. She has the sweetest spirit.
Even though I hate that my baby isn't so much of a baby anymore I am so grateful that I get to watch her grow into the amazing little girl I know she will be.
For anyone who cares, Caleb and I are doing great. We have about 3 weeks of school left until this semester is over. Then we are moving! We are moving into a townhome down the road from where we are now and are super excited about it. I just promoted at work and am so close to getting a $10,000 bonus! Life is good over here at the Hackett house.
