This is a bittersweet post for me about somewhat of a bittersweet day. My baby is ONE! Seriously, when did this year pass me by?! Of course, I'm so proud of my sweet girl. She has been absolutely the best baby EVER! Maybe that's why this past year went by so quickly. I just can't help but be a little sad knowing that she's no longer a baby and I won't have that "baby" experience again. I just hope I squeezed in enough sweet baby smell and cuddles!
Margo is just so much fun to be around. She's crawling (quickly!) everywhere and pulling herself up but hasn't started walking yet. It definitely doesn't stop her from getting around and into everything! She's a good eater but messy! For some reason, she insists on rubbing her food into her hair at about every meal. We often have to wash her hair at the kitchen sink.
Margo is also really starting to play and enjoy her time with her big sister. Paige is a little mother to Margo and a helpful set of eyes when Margo is getting into trouble. Both girls love laughing and giggling with each other and it just melts my heart!
At one year, Margo weighs 20lbs 1oz (25%) and 28" long (10%). For comparison, Paige weighed 17lbs 7oz (2%) but for some reason, I don't have her length written down. Margo is sporting six teeth (Paige didn't get her first until 13 months).
At this point (it's now two months later), Margo was having a constant battle with ear infections and happened to have one on her birthday. So, we celebrated only slightly on the actual day by opening some of her presents and continued the celebration the next day once her antibiotics had kicked in and she was feeling better. As you'll see from the pictures below, she really got into the cake. She started rubbing it between her hands and then proceeded to play peek-a-boo. What a mess!
We've loved every minute of this past year as our family of four (plus Rosie, of course) and can't wait to see what Margo has in store for us next.
Birthday girl!

Peekaboo!
Hmm, what's in here?

Surprise, surprise, Margo is pulling out her bow. This happens 10+ times a day.
