8/17 was my last post?

it seems that I may have been a trifle busier than I thought.

Since my last post, Beanie turned 1, we went to the fair twice, I had my 35th birthday on a day that my friend Erica decided to tumble from a horse and almost die, and my grandpa ended up in the hospital. I still don't know the reason why.

But Beanie turned 1! One years Old.

At her one year old check up, she ranked 25th percentile in weight and only 20th percentile in height. I may have that viceyversey'd because I wasn't the one who took her and it's not fresh in my head. Apparently she is a very happy child. You would never know it from this photo:




Anyway. I had actually tried to post earlier, but blogger was acting wonky.

Things Beanie does well: squeak, shriek, toddle. She toddled around at the fair on Monday in the art show, squeaking loudly and having a blast doing it. This is due to the fact that the vast, clean, white space, echoed.

My kid has always been kind of verbal. Words she tries to say: Seamas (that's our dog) comes out as "May-shus" or "Maysh". She tried to say Yucky the other day (she plays in the toilet and therefore hears my "that is yucky" mantra pretty often) and it was so damn cute, and recognizable "yushhh". Her "Hi" sounds like a normal person, so it has freaked out a few waitresses and grocery baggers. But since she's in the 20th percentile in height or weight or whatever, she's a teeny little baby looking creature who can say "Hi" appropriately, wave, and flirt outrageously. It's pretty funny. She also says "Uh-oh." and "Yesssh." for the affirmative. That's kind of old though. The other thing? When Erica came over to recover from her concussion, Beanie kept trying to make her feel better. She kept checking on her, patting her gently and trying to look her in the eye with this adorabl concerned look. So precious. I have a little empathetic baby on my hands. She'll probably try to save the world. I actually think Erica may be warming to her. Anyway. My kid. I'm very proud of how sweet her demeanor is.

I have a lot more pics of her that I somehow managed to delete. I was taking a photo of a spider at my house, and it kept coming out blurry, and then I tried to close my camera and all of the sudden it said "card not formatted". I freaked out. I need to take it to a special computer place and see if the images can be recovered. Ugh. So cute too...my little boo, I didn't mean to erase you! I think the evil garden spider cast a spell on my digital camera and fuggled it all up.

Ugh.
