The Deardurff Family: July 2013

Today is Giada's 1st birthday. It is amazing how fast this year has gone by. Brian and I remember thinking we'd never sleep again those first few months, but now our little blessing sleeps about 11 hours a night. She is an incredible baby, always happy, a great eater, good sleeper. She does great with her sippy cup. We are starting to wean her off breast milk and onto whole milk.
We had a small birthday party to celebrate her first year Saturday with our family. She wasn't too interested in opening presents (oh how that will change as the years go by) nor was she very interested in the cupcake (her mommy & daddy don't like them either). She got some great gifts. Her favorite is her wagon. She and her cousin Tyler played with it all afternoon. Wrigley loves to walk along side it as she rides. I love to watch Giada and Wrigley interact. She loves him and he adores her. Saturday he rubbed his head along the rug to itch his ear and Giada crawled over to the rug and did the same thing. Those two crack me up!
I only have two more weeks off this summer, but I feel so good about the time I've had off. I worked less this summer than I ever have. I feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to go back to school. Of course I will miss her like crazy, but I LOVE my job. Plus, Giada is blessed to be with her mamaw all day while her mommy & daddy are busy at work.
