It's safe to swallow

Dexter it the poster child of commercials. He remembers everything he sees. One day he kept telling me about how Lucy needs a toothbrush even though she is little. He kept telling me that it is safe to swallow. Of course he saw this on a commericial. He kept bothering me about it. I told him he could get it for Lucy for her birthday. Right after that, what commercial is on TV, the baby toothbrush and toothpaste. I assure him we will get it later for Lucy's birthday. Dexter says, "Good idea." Later that night Dexter and I went to Walgreens and what is the first thing he sees, the toothbrush and toothpaste. Dexter begs for it, we get his sister his gift 3 weeks early. I love that Dexter always thinks of others. Most kids would only find things that they would want, but Dexter is always thinking of other. I thought it was so cute that he wanted to get this for his sister Lucy. When we got home, he wanted his and Lucy's pajamas on so they could brush their teeth. Dexter taught Lucy how to brush here teeth, and every few nights he always remembers to brush her teeth.

Love

You are the happiest kid in the world. Nothing makes you mad. You do let us know when you need something, but you rarely cry. From day one the only thing that you have needed is a love. The first time that Daddy was getting up with you in the night. He could not get you comfortable and to stop crying. He said he changed you twice and fed you, he came to me in desperation for help. I said all that you needed was a love. He wrapped you up and cuddled you and you went right to sleep. That is how you have been from day one.
Your a mobile kid, not that needy of us from the looks of it. You just have to know we are there, the second we are out of sight, you are mad. As long as you have us; you are so happy. But throughout your playing and running around, every few minutes you run to one of us and give us a hug, love, kiss constantly. You even hit up Dexter a few times throughout the day. He loves it. He said you are his best sister ever. Last night I came home from work and I got about 20 hugs from you. I started crying because I really did feel the love you have for me. You are such a sweet girl and have so much personality. You are so loving to everyone. Except Jarom, you kind of tease; pick on him. Very funny.

Confidence

Goose girl, It is your birthday week. You are turning 1 this week. This past year has flown by. You are the funniest, happiest baby ever. You are never grumpy, no fits and just happy to have your peeps around you. You are so amibitious and just go for it. There really isn't nothing that holds you back. You just go.

You love your daddy, your dexter and mommy. You adore grandma Lorraine and would take her over us. You tease; pick on Jerm. You are warming up to Pat and Carl. You are so funny with grandpa Craigy.

You love books, dolls and blankets. You don't stay still. You just go! Going anywhere with you is kind of impossible. That is the only time you voice your complaints. Is when you can't go where you want to go.

I have seen you eat dirt, egg shells, playing in the toilet, sitting in mud and none of it phases you. You love it. You have the funniest low growly voice, just like your cousin Ethan.

Yesterday me and Dexter were outside playing in the yard. Dexter found a stink bug that used to terrify him when he was your age. I asked Dexter what Lucy would do if she saw the bug. He said you would eat it. That was the answer I was looking for and exactly what I thought you would do.

That sums up your crazy nuts personality. You are so funny, so lovable and have made us so happy. We all love you way to much. You are our goose girl. Your nuts! Your crazy! Your amazing! Your beautiful, gorgeous and so cute. You have so much natural beauty. Which is good because I can't keep a bow or clip in your hair for my life. You will look at me sneakily and yank that clip right out of your hair and run. I try, but you don't need it. You are stinker cute all by yourself. You are confident and don't need all the fluff. That will save you alot of time later in life. You will just be you and not worry about the little things that so many think are big and important.

You just go! I love the big confident person you are. You are tough and won't let no-one push you around. You were around Cameron your 3 year old cousin. You put your arms around him and took him down. He cried and ran to his mom and you went on happily. Your amazing.
