Alice turned 1!

We finally got the rest of our garden planted on Alice's special day.  She seemed to enjoy it.  It was HOT so the girls hopped in the pool after we got our tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and strawberries in--yum!

A little about Alice...

She is a little piggy and needs to be eating all the time.  

She is slowly coming to like vegetables.  broccoli, peas, and carrots are starting to be actually consumed instead of hitting her mouth and being spat right out.  Picky little thing.

She loves fruit, bread, anything crunchy, and is constantly thirsty so we pump her full of milk, water, and V8 (because of the picky problem).

She finally started sleeping through the night without needing to be fed (mostly) because we took away the boobs and the bottle.  Phew that year was long.  However, I still love nursing, and we still nurse every morning. It helps me remember that she's still a baby.

Alice is such a cuddler.  She loves to roll around on top of Scarlett, daddy, me, the ground.  She especially loves it when it annoys Scarlett. She's such a troll.

She gets quite screechy and whiny whenever she feels like she isn't getting equal treatment of her sister Scarlett.  If she's not up on the couch with us, if she doesn't get to go into the same room, if she doesn't get the same snack, etc. etc.  What a baby.

She loves to walk, climb, swim, put things in her mouth, read books and be outside most of all.   Also, she loves her mom and dad. She's precious.

Alice has such an incredible sweet tooth, I thought that she was going to finish her piece of Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake in five bites...but she took her time, and enjoyed playing with the texture and smashed it into a pudding.
