What a beautiful weekend we had to celebrate my little ones 1st birthday. We chose to go to a waterpark because the whole family enjoys it, but of course, the birthday girl would have nothing to do with the water. She HATES the water. She'll play in a tub of water just as long as she's not in it. Don't even think of putting her in the bathtub or a swimming suit so she can play in the kid area, she will have none of it. She hates water getting on her face and she becomes a very upset baby. So, what did we do?? We already made the reservations for next year at the same place for her birthday. I have only 12 months to get her use to the water and realize that it's our friend. It was a relaxing weekend and I'm glad that we went.
I just can not believe that a whole 12 months have gone by since Addison was born, it really has gone by fast. From a little girl who spent 8 days in the NICU to a walking, temper tantrum, beautiful, smiling girl. I have been blessed with her and her big sister. I am one lucky mom and I don't thank God nearly enough for giving me these two beautiful children.
My little Addison has learned how to throw temper tantrums now when she doesn't get what she wants so when that happens I softly lay her on the ground and let her go with it. Of course, right now they don't last long because when I walk away she must realize that it's not going to work and she's done with it. I'm sure that as she gets older they will become longer, but my plan is to snip that in the bud real quick. Temper tantrums are just one of the things I will not accept. It's part of her growing up and seeing how much she can get away with it. I'll tell her, like I have told her older sister, that you will get much more out of me when you behave than when you don't and though I know it's not always easy being good, it will always pay off in the end.
She went to the doctor on Friday for her 1 year check up and she's 17 pounds 8 oz. She's only in the 5 percentile of weight but the 50 percentile for her height, she's my petite little lady. I hope she stays petite. She is now off her formula (though we still have a canister left) and I have her drinking whole milk and now she can eat anything we do, within reason of course and she does like her grown up food so much better than her baby food. It's like she knows now that she doesn't need that baby food and she refuses to eat it, even her cereal, which is one of the things she loved the most.
Well, that is all for now.
