The Christie Clan Chronicles:: Watch Me Grow-12 months old!!

Can you believe I'm a year old today???? What a year filled with new adventures! I have learned so much about the world around me and I think mommy and daddy have also learned alot about what it means to be a parent! Mommy told me that this past year has been one of the most challenging yet most amazing times of her life!
As usual, I have been one busy little girl and making big changes! Over the past couple weeks, I have gone from napping 2-3 times/day to only one nap each day. Mommy likes this becuase she says that it is so much easier to go out with me! There are not many days that we sit home anymore. I also got another tooth so this makes me up to 5 teeth! The other big adventure right now is decreasing my reflux medicine. The hope is for me to be off all medicine by mid May! So far we have been able to go from 2x/day to 1x/day. It has not been an easy road but we are determined! This weekend is the next big decrease. I think the most exciting news is that I'm walking! I'm still not real steady but each day I'm braver and braver and will attempt more steps! Ms. Sally and Ms. Lynette at daycare tell mommy and daddy that I make them worry becuase I seem to have no fear and will even prefer to walk with books/toys in my hands.
I'm really looking forward to my special birthday party tomorrow! My whole family is coming over to celebrate! This first year has been great and I look forward to learning so much more in this coming year! I will get to show the new baby all the tricks that I have learned so far!
Over this past year, mommy has taken my photo next to pooh bear so we can all watch me grow into the little girl that I am today! She says that she won't make me sit next to pooh bear every month anymore but will still take my picture every six months for a bit and then every year until I refuse!
