THESE ARE THE PICTURES I GOT OF MARA AT 4MONTHS AND THEN TODAY AT 12 MONTHS OLD. THE ONES BELOW ARE 6 , 8, 9, AND 10 MONTHS OLD.
OH, WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN FOR LITTLE MARA. SHE HAS GROWN INTO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE WONDER WITH SO MUCH HAPPY SPIRIT TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. WE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, WE WERE BLESSED WITH YET ANOTHER ANGEL FROM UP ABOVE. I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT MY TWO KIDS. I KNOW SOMETIMES LIFE SEEMS STRESSFUL RAISING TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, BUT THE JOYS THEY BRING SIMPLY ARE PRICELESS AND I REALLY ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY WITH BOTH OF THEM. SAMARA HAS LEARNED SO MANY THINGS IN HER ONE YEAR. EACH DAY THAT GOES BY WE SEE MORE AND MORE, ITS CRAZY TO SEE HOW FAST THEY GROW UP. SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO FREEZE THE TIME TO ENJOY THESE SPECIAL MOMENTS, BUT EACH DAY THAT GOES BY BRINGS ANOTHER EXCITING THING.
WE STARTED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MARA WITH HER DOLL BABY, AN IDEA THAT I GOT FROM MY FRIEND JESS AND I TRIED TO REMEMER TO TAKE ONE EACH MONTH SO THAT I COULD SEE HOW MUCH SHE GREW! SHE IS JUST BEGINNING TO PLAY WITH HER DOLLS AND IS HAVING A BLAST WITH ALL OF HER NEW TOYS. I STILL SEE HER PUSHING SOME OF THE GIRL THINGS ASIDE FOR YET ANOTHER MATCHBOX CARS, BUT HEY ONE DAY SHE WON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM ANYMORE. FOR NOW, WHATEVER PLEASES HER LITTLE HEART. CONNOR IS HAVING FUN WITH ALL THE PURSES AND DOLL HOUSES.
TWELVE THINGS MARA HAS LEARNED THIS YEAR:
1. HOW TO SMILE
2. HOW TO ROLL OVER
3. HOW TO SIT UP
4. HOW TO CRAWL(ARMY CRAWLED FROM 6-10MONTHS)
5. HOW TO GIGGLE, MAKE NOISES AND ACTUALLY REALIZE SOUNDS COME OUT.
6. HOW TO GRASP OBJECTS WITH HER FINGERS AND PICK UP THINGS. SHE CAN EVEN BRUSH HER TEETH, OR AT LEAST EAT THE TOOTHPASTE.
7. HOW TO STAND(ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS STILL) AND CRUISE ALONG THE FURNITURE.
8. HOW TO DANCE, BOBBLE HER HEAD WHEN SHE HEARS MUSIC AND CLAP.
9. HOW TO WAVE HI AND BYE-BYE.
10. HOW TO SPEAK AT LEAST FIVE WORDS: MA, DA, HI, BYE, BA-BA
11. HOW TO BE ON A GREAT SCHEDULE: SHE IS LIKE CLOCKWORK, NAPS TWICE A DAY AND GOES TO BED FROM 7 PMTO 6:45AM. YEAH, MARA.
12. HOW TO EAT TABLE FOOD, TOO.
