Rebecca is growing up! While she’s still physically quite small, every once in a while I’ll notice how long her legs are getting or how chubby her little belly is. (Especially after dinner!)
Last week, she finally learned to pull herself to standing. It took her a while to reach that milestone, but she’s really caught on! And a week or so before that, I pulled her hair back into pigtails for church—and she really looked like a big girl!
The ten minutes of wrestling and screaming to get her hair that way, we haven’t attempted it again. But we will at some point.
Her first birthday is coming up quick—it’s hard to believe it’s only been a year, but it’s hard to believe it’s already been a year!
How do you celebrate first birthdays? Do you think the time continuum of early childhood (where the days drag but the months fly by) gets better or worse as time goes on?

She is so sweet. I am amazed at how quickly one year has gone by for my baby girl too.
I have too tried to put that girls hair up!
I can’t believe how fast it goes by. My little boy is 5 months old and sometimes I can’t believe I actually had a baby. Glad I have awesome blogs like this to guide me on my way.
I can hardly believe that Gwen is almost 9 months old. I remember last summer when I was pregnant with her like it was yesterday. Absolutely incredible.
I want to do a Korean tradition: put 4-5 objects in front of baby that represent possible futures. Traditionally it might be a scholar’s brush or a tool. Now a days they also use things like sports equipment or a mouse from a computer. So they put all these things a couple of feet in front of the baby and let him/her go choose which interests him most. Kind of a fun sort of “fortune telling”. I think we’ll do something like that with Gwen. And of course take the obligatory pictures of her demolishing a personal cake. 🙂
