Christmas is officially over (whomp, whomp, whomp) and believe it or not, but T-bird is 14 months old...
...she is what I like to call a "carboholic". Carbs are her second favorite thing next to breastmilk. My little Italian loves pasta, ravioli and bread. She HATES beef. I mean, if she accidentally grabs a piece of meat, while shoveling mashed potatoes in her mouth, the meal will be over because she will be so utterly pissed. She has become the biggest copy cat and it is so, so funny. Every time I pump gas I put hand sanitizer on after and she mimics the gesture (this has been going on for awhile now, but whatever). If you tell her to put on her lotion she'll start rubbing her hands and arms as if she's greasing herself up. Her favorite thing to do (beside reading books) is to help me with the laundry. If my closet door just so happens to be open, then I better be prepared to do laundry because she will start taking the clothes out of the hamper and "sorting" them how she sees fit. So once I accept that I'm going to do laundry, I begin to sort the piles and my big helper will grab these massive loads and carry them to the laundry room and she will go back and forth until the whole pile is in the laundry room. While she does this she runs back and forth, panting and grunting because she takes the laundry very seriously. When Ed witnessed her in action the other day her was laughing so hard. She also likes to scrub the floors with wipes...she will literally copy everything you do. I swear I'm not making her CInderella or anything she just sees me clean and do the laundry so she does it, too.
It's scary. She is getting very independent- trying to feed herself with utensils and washing herself in the tub. I just wish I could freeze time because I think this is my favorite age so far. Don't get me wrong I totally miss cuddling my teeny baby, but I love that I can ask Tenley for a hug or kiss and get it. I can't get enough of the moments at this age when Ed and I are dressing Tenley after her bath and were taking turns giving her raspberries on her belly while she lets out the loudest laughs, then I nurse her and rock her to sleep. Seriously, those are the nights I live for- I will always remember them and when Tenley is fighting with me because I won't let her stay out late with her boyfriend (if Ed ever lets her have one) I will tell her of those moments so she knows that I do everything with love.
Anyways, baby girl turned 14 months and is already driving...say wha?? Well not quite, but she totally warmed up to her plastic Benz...
...Grammy even got in on the action:
...when Daddy found out Tenley Bear warmed up to her Benz he was thrilled:
All that driving really exhausted T because she slept super late and kicked me out of bed the next morning:
When she finally woke up she took Dolly for a ride:
We went to breakfast at Egg Works and Miss Chunky Cheeks was stoked...
...all the scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and bread really had her fired up:
The next morning Tenley showed me that she's a firm believer of 'sharing is caring':
Tenley took pictures with her Minnie Mouse camera...
...and played with her holiday Minnie:
We went to The Venetian to check out their light bulb tree with my in-laws:
The next day we took them to see the Christmas Conservatory at The Bellagio...
...we even got to take Tenley to see the fountains from the front:
...and she was in awe:
Sunday was the Steelers last game of the season (BOO!!) and since my mom bought Tenley a jersey for Christmas we had to get all decked out in our Steelers gear for their last game:
Baby looked so cute as she watched them destroy the Browns:
Tenley and Daddy goofed off while I watched the game...
...and Tenley even figured out how to use the gas pedal in her Benz:
Until next week! :)
