13 months

holy smoly, already a month older. I know, I say it every time, but where is the time going? I swear it was yesterday we celebrated your first birthday with friends and family. At your one year checkup you were 32.875 inches and 26.10 pounds. We started to transition you off of formula and onto cows milk. That lasted about a week til you were so constipated you couldnt poop for 5 days so mom decided to switch you to almond milk. Things were going so smooth for about 3-4 days till you started to have an allergic reaction to the milk. I took you to the doctors and she confirmed that you have an allergy to the milk. So now we are onto LACTAID, a lactose free milk. I am sure you can have milk, and hope someday soon we can give it to you but we have to get the poop problem down first. You were started on Miralax at your first year appointment and it seems to be working well. Mommy woke up to mothers day with a shitty diaper and poop in her bed that you put your hand in and then touched moms mouth with (happy moms day to me). If all goes well and stays consistent then we will try to transition you to cows mil again soon.
The past month has been one of a growing personality for you. I do have some video, and YES I know you will laugh one day. But today, its not funny for mom. GIRL, you are getting an ATTITUDE....you began temper tantrums that I have no idea where they came from. You will throw yourself to the ground and throw your head back while screaming. But then you make up for it with your snuggles and smiles.
You still nap on mommy about once a day and I LOVE it, totally eat it up and soak it all in because i know sometime soon you will be over it and there will be another baby in the house sucking up moms attention. I think about how this time next year you will be a big sister. I wonder how this transition will go for you. I can already see you bossing this little creature around and telling he/she who's boss around here. Hell, you already tell me who's boss every damn day of my life.
The past thirteen months have been the BEST of my life, showing me how truly happy I am come to be and how rewarding motherhood is. I sit here writing these words with tears in my eyes. Tears of joy and complete satisfaction. Tears that i never thought i would shed. Tears I am honored to be able to shed.
My sweet girl you complete me and my little life. I can only imagine how much better it can get when you start talking and forming your own mind and personality. I cant wait to watch you grow.. xoxoxoxo
