Current mood: energetic
As you can probably see, I have decided to keep writting weekly updates. I wasn't sure if I would contiune since I previously only wanted to do it for her first year... but habbits are hard to break. Not sure how long I will keep at this but I will try.
This week has definately been a whirlwind of stuff going on. It started, of course, with her first birthday! She turned 1 this week which is a HUGE milestone in itself. We spend the weekend in Oxnard so we could celebrate it with her Oxnard family at the beach. It was a great party and everyone had a good time. She got to see her little friend Koa again which is always a treat. (We are deteremined to have them get married one day hahaha) She got to see and experience the beach for the first time, ride her first swing, and eat her first birthday cake (though she could care less about the cake) Overall it was a great celebration... and tomorrow we have another. Yep, shes having another birthday party but this time with her San Diego Family in San Diego. Time for more last min. running around... phew this is tiring!
She helped Daddy celebrate his birthday this week. She painted her own little drawing for him and he loved it. She also got to meet her Great Grandpa Ordonez for the first time too. However, she became very shy and didn't even want to touch him or show off her walking skills to him. She just stood there and stared... typical! lol She did touch his hand before we left so thats good.
She also went to Disneyland for the first time! Though she didn't see her favorite character (Donald Duck) she still had a good time. Since I have taught her how to drink from a straw it makes things easier especially when we are out and about. We can finally share drinks with her and she even chugged down some frozen lemonaid. She slept through most of the trip but when she was awake she had a good time. She saw her first fireworks show and even clapped for it. She also rode her very first real ride! No baby newborn type ride that you find in front of the grocery store... no this one was a real one! It was the Winnie The Pooh ride. She went through it like a champ, granted the honeybee hive that we were sitting in didn't go to fast. But it seemed like she had a good time looking at all the glow in the dark and blacklight stuff. I just wish I had more video of her expression haha.
We also started her on real milk this week and though she isn't a big drinker of anything, she is taking to the milk good. However, she will only drink it from a straw and a cup and refuses to drink it out of her sippy. I guess she just likes water from her sippy. With the introduction to real milk we have tossed out the formula and started her on more table foods that have alot of milk in them, like mashed potatoes. I have also started giving her oatmeal with milk instead of water. So far so good... no bad reactions.
She is teething yet again.... joy. Poor baby has been uncharacteristically moody, cranky and whiny. There are two teeth that are about to come in and I can't wait till they do so she can go back to her happy self. I am just hoping they wont bother her for her birthday party tomorrow.
Well thats about it for now, I am sure I will write again this weekend. As for now I gotta start getting ready we are going to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa Santos' house tonight for the first time since she was born. Hopefully that will go smoothly and her teeth won't bother her at night. Last night she had a good night hopefully that can contiune. Wish us luck on a smooth and fun party tomorrow!
