I've begun first birthday preparations. I have the fabric for Greta's dress, but I can't start on it until I've finished some other projects (I'm motivating myself to finish the other stuff). I also have big 36" balloons that we'll get filled with helium. I know what kind of cake I'm going to make. But, I still can't believe sweet Greta will be one soon. Greta is a very loving little girl. She gives amazing hugs! And is never shy about rubbing her face into mine when she wants kisses. She's an excellent crawler and has taken some wobbly steps holding onto my hands and with the cart. She started saying her first word a couple weeks ago but I wasn't totally sure if she was actually saying it or not. Her first word is, "hi." She'll come crawling up to me and say a drawn out "hi." I wonder what she'll say next? Greta just had a big growth spurt and she's chubbier than ever! Sometimes I joke that she eats her feelings because Greta is an emotional little girl. She still gets up once in the night. I'm not sure how to get her to sleep through the night. She always wakes up super upset and ravenous. Even if I cuddle her back to sleep, she instantly wakes up and starts screaming as soon as she senses the crib. Soon enough she'll be a good sleeper. Greta loves her toys, especially her bunny. Anytime she gets her hands on her Bun-Buns, he gets a big, squishy hug and some gnawing. When Greta sleeps, her bunny is usually covering her face entirely. We love our Greta!
