12 month birthday

One year ago today Rosa entered our lives with bright eyes, sweet cheeks, and a curious soul. Over this past year she has only grown brighter, sweeter, and definitely more curious.  It's been an amazing year!

Highlights of being 12 months-old:
  • Blows kisses (inconsistently)
  • Stands hands-free for 15 seconds at a time
  • Even more dramatic: she will fake cry, laugh to be funny, and tilt her head when she wants to be extra cute
  • Gives kisses on request (i.e. suction-less kisses)
  • LOVES books
  • Ecstatically laughs with coordinated legs kicks
  • Fruit-lover. Starch lover (except no potatoes, surprisingly)
  • Just learned how to whack-a-ball with a hammer.
  • Climbs up stairs pretty easily and just learned how to go down a step backwards. This is exciting since, up until now, she'd choose to go head first in a swan-like dive.
  • Hide and seek - an ever popular game, she will hide around the corner on her own and peek around the corner.
Today Rosie had an eventful day!

Birthdays are shocking!
Busy day visiting DaddyO at work...
...then Mommy at her work!
Time for a dip in the pool with Ba Ngoai.
Pre-dinner reading with the Vavós
Post-dinner playing
Standing tall
With my grandmas
With the Vavós
Cuddling with Mommy (but secretly eying the soccer ball)
