Happy Birthday, Susannah!!! It's hard to believe a year has gone by since our sweet baby girl was born!! It's been one of the longest years of my life, to be sure. She is growing up way too fast, as they all do, but she has been an absolute joy!! She has been, by far, the happiest and easiest of all of our kids. It could be because she has so many entertainers. :) She has six teeth, four on the top and two on the bottom. She has been cruising around furniture for a few months now. The past few weeks she has been standing by herself, but just yesterday she took one step and held it. She's still a bit wobbly. She has gotten a bit more demanding with her food. She eats a fairly wide variety, but still prefers to not eat fruit or things that are too sweet. I try to buy the baby food that has the most calories in it, which the latest I've found has been the spaghetti. It's quite a mess. :) Of course, she eats quite a bit of table food as well, but it's harder to count the calories in that. I've been trying to figure out how to wean from bottles, she's the only one that's been primarily bottle fed. The cup is coming along slowly. Her "tricks" include clapping, waving bye-bye, clicking her tongue, and kissing. At 11 months she weighed 13lbs 9 oz and was 26 inches long. I don't know how to explain how thankful we are that she's with us. She's come a long ways, but she has quite a journey ahead of her as well. Trusting God to see us through!! Thank you to everyone who has prayed us through this year!!
Mommy and Daddy and your big brothers and sister love you so much Susannah!!!!!
Update: At our cardiologist appointment in June, Susannah had not gained any weight from the previous appointment in May (5 weeks between), so we are off to see a Gastroenterologist in a couple weeks.
