Gigi One Year~ February 3, 2011
Dear Gwyneth,
It is just so hard to believe that your first birthday has come and gone already. You are SUCH a precious, precious little girl. You are personality plus and are so full of wonderful surprises.
* You.are.a.peanut. You still wear 9-12 month clothes. You weighed in at 19 pounds 8 ounces and measures 28 inches long. I believe the doctor said you are around 25% for weight and for height.
* You are standing and can actually push the walkers around the room. You would love to walk, make that run, but just aren't quite there yet. I am sure it will happen in the next couple of months. For your birthday, you received a baby stroller and you love pushing it around the room.
* Still no teeth:) Every single day I look and think surely there will be a tooth in that little smile. However, it does not slow you down one bit. You are doing a fabulous job with your eating and LOVE to eat all kinds of yummy foods.
* I love how your hair has just a little bit of curl or wave to it right now. We will have to see if this remains as you get bigger. I have stick straight hair, so it would certainly be a pleasant surprise.
* Your eyelashes are beautiful. Seriously, they are long and full! They make your dark brown eyes pop even more. You are our little brown eyed girl!
* You attempt to eat most things. Pasta, any kind of fruit, and carrots are probably your favorites.
* Your can say Mama, Dada, and Hi. The word you say the most is Dada by far. And, you LOVE to chat. You talk, talk, talk and really want us to understand your baby chatter.
* Your favorite thing to do with your brother is to play chase around the living room. The sound of you two laughing together is music to my ears.
* For your first birthday, we had a zebra themed party. The colors were hot pink, black, and white. For gifts, we asked that friends give donations to the hospital where you spent the first month of your little life. An "alumni" mural will be created in your name. This mural will provide hope for parents/families that are currently in the NICU. They will be able to look at other babies who started life off a little early and are now happy and healthy.
Gwyneth, we hope you always know how grateful we are to be your mommy and daddy.
Love you bunches!
Mom and Dad
