One month away from a year...I can hardly believe it. I don't think I am ready for her infancy to be over so soon. Lately at night when I rock with her, cuddle and nurse her I try to take mental pictures and savor every single thing about that moment because I know this part of our relationship will come to a close way too soon. It make me teary. I didn't know I could love her this much, it literally hurts.
I am excited for the many things to come too, of course. I know I am going to love every stage. Brady and I love watching her do and learn new things. She is just a little sponge. She mimics us more and more and we are thinking she is going to be a bit of ham. Felicity make the funniest noises that she wants us to mimic and loves to laugh with us about it too. We have been working on saying mama lately and she is pretty close. She will now say ma with a bit of coaxing.
Felicity is also soooo close to walking. She has great balance and is able go from sitting to standing all alone, without support and can stand there dancing or moving her arms about without falling. She takes a falling step here and there too. I am excited for her, she is going to be so excited when she can finally walk, Ms. Independent.
She no longer wants my help with much of anything, even though she needs it. She gets irritated when I try to help her...not sure what this personality trait is going to mean for us in the future, or maybe it is just a phase that won't return till she is thirteen. :) ha...ha.
Well, we took our first trip to an urgent care this month and found out that Felicity is allergic to amoxicillin. She was on amoxicillin for an ear infection and the day she came off her antibiotics she broke into a rash. Luckily the rash was the extent of the reaction and did not seem to bother her. The picture of her after a bath and her poor little bum covered in hives.

Felicity is also slowly growing out of her "I only want my Mama" phase. Again, this makes me happy and a little sad. Another stage is drawing to a close. But, I also love watching her go to her grandparents, aunts, and uncles much more easily. That does bring us all joy!! And it is nice having full use of both my arms again. I got pretty good at doing just about everything with one arm.
Brady and I are getting ready to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and get to leave Felicity for a date night for the first time since she was born! The no bottle dilemma kept her and I close 24-7 which was a sweet time for her and me, but I am looking forward to spending some time with just my husband now too!!
