My baby is one now! I can't believe it! Here are a few pictures of her last year at this time. The second one is of her coming home from the hospital with the rose blanket that I have taken her month to month pictures with. I also included her last month to month picture at the end of all the pictures with the same blanket. Walter and I have been recalling her birth lately. He remembers staying at Papa and Grandma's house and coming to see us in the hospital (he was so cute when came that day with a bouquet of lily of the valley flowers.) As we where reminiscing he said "mama why did Rose E pop out of your belly?" He is also a little confused about her "number"(age). He can't understand, if she is just turning one, how old was she before(zero!)? Also he keeps thinking that now it is time for her to turn two since that is what comes after one. Does this boy ever have a sense of humor too, today I took her to her one year doctor appointment, which I'll mention more about later and he said "mama are you bringing (returning) Rose E back?" Rose E had a lovely weekend! She got lots of nice gifts (I posted a picture of her with them) and loved her Birthday cupcake (made out of rice flower)that Grandma made for her. She was a little ham as she said many new words. One that I have been getting a kick out of lately is when I ask her something she's bee responding "yeah(yes)." She has also been saying "this?" and "that" constantly. I had to laugh because the night of her party I took her upstairs to get her ready for a nap and she saw her cousin Ariel looking for her other cousin Kirsten upstairs and she said "kid?" On Sunday in church too we where walking around in the building and she turned to me and said "church" she also said "sing" during a hymn. She is understanding so much now and not just repeating words but actually applying them,which is just amazing to me.
Now back to her doctor's appointment, she was funny as the doctor tried to examine her she kept saying "no, no, no!" The poor girl had some shots and her blood taken (it is so heart breaking to watch). I am anxious about it though because they did a food allergy test and we should hear about the results in 2 to 3 weeks. I was surprised because I told the doctor I was going to start weaning her from nursing and she suggested nursing for three more months due to her allergy situation. I remember reading somewhere that nursing can increase their likelihood of getting over an allergy. Her weight and height and everything are good (as they have always been, she had a good head start at 9lbs 6 oz when she was born) and now weighs 23 pounds putting both her height and weight at the 75 Th percentile. I had to chuckle to myself though because Walter is over 2 years older and is only 7 pounds heavier!
