Linda's First Birthday

I’m not a very mushy person by nature. I’m not one for writing love letters. I know Bill and I were very happy to be able to celebrate Linda’s first birthday together. It was all I could think about for awhile after we received our referral.

We can’t tell you how happy we are that we got to experience some of Linda’s baby stage. There are so many transitions that Linda has gone through. We are seeing her change from a baby to a toddler right before our eyes.

Well Linda is now 13 months old. She is walking more than crawling around the house. She has fun at the playground now and even goes to her favorite (play) bus at the park and gets to the steering wheel by herself.

Linda is staring to mimic us. She likes to brush her hair and teeth and wants to put her socks on all by herself (of course she has a way to go on that but what an effort).

We went to the doctor yesterday for Linda’s 13 month visit. Linda is doing very well. She is 31” tall and 22.4lbs. She is above average for all the groups. The doctor was very please to see her walking so well.

I know I say this quite a bit, but it’s just amazing the changes that we see everyday in her. There is always something new.

(Don’t worry pictures will follow.)

Let me just finish this post by saying:

Linda, mommy and daddy love you very much!!!!!

Since she is exactly the same height as Vincent, they now can see eye to eye!

Congratulations, Linda on becoming a toddler.
