My Baby Will Always be My Baby

Mei Mei turned 1 this week. Let's be clear. She is not a toddler. She is not even walking yet. She is now and ever will be MY BABY!  

Here's a little bit about her:

Favorite Book: Charlie Parker Plays Be Bop (she brings me the book and rocks side to side so we can sing/read it)

Favorite Song: Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee (she puts her hands together and swings them from side to side)

First Words: "More" (especially when eating), "Thank you" (when we play a giving game), "Uh-oh" (when she drops toys out of the bathtub).

Favorite Food: Anything with meat in it, anything with a lot of flavor (especially grandma's cooking).

Dislikes: Getting my nose wiped, when people take toys out of my mouth

Favorites: Splashing in the bath, hugging and laughing with my big brothers

What calms me: sucking my thumb (at night time I do that and rub the ribbons of my dolly too)

Aspirations for the next year of life: walking, switching to a toddler bed, and having my first taste of chocolate (my parents are kinda health-freaks)
