These photos are several weeks old now, but are too springy not to share :o) ... we took them a couple of weekends ago after church. We snuck over to Gingi & Popi's house while they were still at church & snapped several - strike that - .... snapped a TON of photos with their AMAZING flowers!! Hope you like them & our glow-in-the-dark dresses.. hehe!
Ardynn's one year well-baby visit was last Friday, and once again... the overachiever got gold stars from Dr. P. She weighs a whopping 17 1/2 pounds, landing her in the 3rd percentile for weight .... and is a staggering 27 1/4 inches, putting her in the 4th percentile for height. Our pipsqueak may not be the largest egg in the Easter basket, but she certainly is the golden one! ;o)
Despite the predictions I made in my last post, the bean has not upgraded her mode of transportation yet. She can walk when she wants to, but continues to rely on her super-speed crawling for the time being. She likes most foods (the ones that are not green), but is obsessed with mandarin oranges, tomatoes, and french fries. It is a little strange, but she's constantly looking for birds in the sky when we are outside... if you ask her "where are the birds?" ... she points her teensy weensy finger up to the sky, smiles, and grunts with joy. She still has her priceless little dimples on her chipmunk cheeks & shows them to anyone who makes eye contact with her. In addition to her tiny stature, she has feet the size of most 6 month olds (size 2)... it has been tough for mommy to find shoes for her little feet that can withstand any amount of crawling/walking.
What a blessing our little Ardynn Jessee is ... she is my bestest friend & the joy of our family! Enjoy these photos that mommy took after her check-up last Friday. She only picked a few of our sweet neighbors' flowers ;o)
The bean was workin' it for a banana outside tonight. Silly mom was attempting to get her to walk by dangling a banana in front of her pretty little face, so naturally - we had to get it on video & camera. She has been thinking about walking REALLY hard over the past few days... you'll see that she is taking several small, cautious steps by herself now..... yeeeeeah, Ardy! Check out the kool new kicks on her little feet... think they will help her run faster & jump higher!?!?You might also catch her smacking her little lips a few times in these videos... that's her signal for "gimme some food, peeps!"
Oh... and while we are at it.... do you like our new steps & sidewalk?? We just had the stairs refaced & a new sidewalk poured... much improved, I'll say!
Hope you like these videos 'n' photos of the bean on her own two feet!
