I can't believe a year has already passed. My baby girl is already one. It is crazy to think we were living across the country one year ago and how much has changed in the last year since she has been in our family. Seneka is such a joy in our lives and she makes everything all the more better (i know that phrase does not sound right but i can't think of how else to put it so SORRY!). I've tried to think of some of my favorite things that she does that are so "her" and so cute...
1. She makes you work for her affection. She isn't a major smiley baby and so it is a special day when she lets you see that side of her. But even though she isn't always smiling, you know that she loves you and is happy to just be with you. But the funniest expression is when she looks you up and down and almost examines every feature with zero facial expression...almost like she is disgusted.
2. When she drops something instead of saying "Oht -Oh" - she uses a different sound and noise but you can tell that is what she is trying to say.
3. She loves to copy you. For example if i am making blow noises on her belly- she tries to make the same sound with her mouth. And she loves to copy you and click her tongue. And her latest is copying you by making a noise like "boo" and putting her hand over her eyes.
4. She LOVES the bath and when the water is running and i havent put her in yet, she tries to lift her leg over the bath to climb in herself. And the entire time in the bath she has to be holding a washcloth in her hand...and screams if you take it from her so you can wash her face.
5. She scrunches her nose up and makes a blow noise out of her nose. She actually has lots of adorable litte expressions like that.
6. She enjoys carrying socks around the house (smelly ones and all) and occasionally stuffs them in her mouth and crawls around.
7. She still picks anything and everything off the ground and puts it right in her mouth. She often won't eat in her high chair but once i put her on the ground from the high chair, she prefers then to eat whatever she has dropped on the ground while sitting UNDER her high chair.
8. She wrestles with her brother (and other small children) like a WWF wrestler and is actually pretty tough for a little chick. She loves to roll around on the ground and steam roll whomever will let her.
9. When you go to get her in her crib after she is awake, she grabs anything she can see (blankets, stuffed animals) and hands them to you - along with her when you pick her up.
10. She loves her "ba ba" or bottle and really that is probably the only consistent thing that she says..."ba ba ba ba" and sometimes when she is upset she will start saying "ba ba ba" even though that isn't what she wants but it is all she knows how to say. It is so funny. I have even noticed her stopping herself in mid-sentence while she is saying bababa when she realizes, "oh wait, i just had my baba- that's not what i want."
We love our Seni Beni, munchie-munchie! She is full of attitude and opinions and is always on-the-go...and she is her own person and that is what we love about her!! I really feel so lucky to be her mom.
Happy Birthday princess!
She always stands on her tipitoes...it is so cute to watch from behind!

I just loved the comment about her trying to lift her leg to get into the tub. Edyn used to do the same thing. She loved the tub and would come running as fast as her little legs could take her when she started to hear the watering running. Cute pictures of her. She is growing up sooooo fast.
What a little princess - she is so adorable. She's lucky to have you as a mom.
She is so darling! I can't believe she's already one!
I can't believe she is 1 already. That went by really fast. She is such a cutie!
