Fayola is 1! |


We celebrated Fayola's 1st Birthday in Cleveland, OH with our dear family and friends. We didn't have everyone there, but I know everyone was there in spirit.
Milestones:
Many new words (flower, ooooo water!, bird, plant, Elmo, soo big, potty, banana, pine tree... the list goes on...)
Cruising along on furniture (forward and side stepping)
Walks with one hand hold
Sleeping through the night (11 months)
Claps
Swimming!
Climbing like a monkey
Stands alone without support
Gives kisses and hugs (sometimes just make the sound effects and don't give them all the time)
Ate dog food.. haha! (you got Chloe's food within 2 seconds)
Working on getting 4 more teeth
Weigh in:
19 lbs. 5 oz.
29 1/2 inches long
Fayola your personality:
You continue to be more and more social, saying "hi" to each stranger, so gentle with your toys when I ask you to be (then you go crazy when it is okay), you love to sleep with your Teddy and Snuggles :), you continue to analyze the situation before you act, has an long attention span when trying to figure out a new toy, you aren't a fan of being the center of attention with big crowds (only Mommy and Daddy), love music and dancing, love to EAT.
It has been a joy this past year having you as a part of our lives, Fayola. Thank you for your light and energy... your soul is so pure and beautiful. I love you beyond syllables or sounds.
Thank you to all the family and friends that helped Fayola celebrate her 1st year! We love you all!
