Happy Birthday, Squeaks!

Squeaks, you're 1 year old today. How cliche is it to say that time flies?

A big part of what makes our lives magnificent, "you rock it" (as sister Bean would say). You are our sweet, throaty-laugh, almost redhead, jack'o teeth girl.

You have mad 1YO skills. You've abandoned the bottle & formula for a sippy cup and milk. No looking back!

You started walking just after 11 months and are now walking everywhere. Tonight you showed off to all the old folks at the Custard Station. You'd stumble a bit, bend over like you were going to catch yourself with your hands but then recover with surfer-like moves. And you gave your audience a toothy, proud smile after each save.

You like to eat. Sometimes. Like here. With spaghetti.



You're sitting in Bean's Tripp Trapp chair. We got you this suction cup bowl with a ramp that you use to push food up the bowl and into your mouth. Your favorite foods are eggs, blueberries, watermelon, chicken, okra, rojo raisins (that's what Bean calls Craisins) and spaghetti.

You're always up in the mix. All the older kids at ConnieLaura's (the sitters' house) get exasperated with you sitting on top of their table, knocking over their towers, stealing their cups, stealing their stuffed animals, stealing their blankets... "Squueeeeaaakkerrrrr!" they yell. You are undaunted by their protests.

We love you!
