Speedy Update

I've been so terrible at blogging lately, honestly I just haven't felt up to it. We have been so busy lately, and i keep thinking about you guys but i  just never get around to it.

Torrie is doing new things, its like turning one made her into an all new girl.

much to my dismay she is climbing the stairs, and since our stairs are built awkwardly we are having trouble figuring out a way to gate them up.

She is becoming afraid of things that never bothered her before, its so strange, its like some light bulb went on in her head to make her afraid of weird things.

like the dogs barking- never used to bother her, now she looks at you and cries.

the ocean, never used to bother her and I put her feet in this weekend and she near had a heart attack.

just a whole bunch of weird random things. Its very interesting.

she also tried out her new wagon and loved it!

(don't worry shes seat belted in)

we also still love bath time!

we are working on sign language with her because she seems to be getting frustrated in the communication department.
she already has down the sign for "more"and uses it appropriately at feeding time. we are working on all done, and no.

mostly she is acting like a typical one year old, testing her boundaries and my patience.


I'm just loving this stage shes at right now :) shes a beautiful princess.

My sister works at the daycare torrie attends, she took a bunch of awesome pics that she has shared with me.

 torrie and some kid at the daycare. torrie is not supposed to be playing in that area but apparently she has worked out a bribe.

fresh as usual. and I mean fresh as in misbehaving.

and lastly my sister snuck in on me and torrie- torrie likes to wake up at 7 on weekdays and 5 on weekends, is anyone else seeing the issue here? so I convince her to go back to sleep by laying with mommy. my sister played peeping tom sunday morning.
