Making friends

I know that one of Cicily's purposes in life is helping others to appreciate and enjoy what life brings. Apparently Cicily knows this too, and is working at it already. However, I didn't know she would do this all by herself so young!

Our family went to Disneyland this month and had a fabulous time. Cicily was entertained the whole time. Whenever we were in a line or sitting down somewhere, she'd make a friend of someone around us. She'd find someone behind or next to her and look at them until they saw her and then she'd shoot them one of her huge Cicily smiles. I had so many people say how cute and friendly she is. She also does this sign where she holds out her fist toward someone in a straight arm greeting. I personally think it's a primitive I love you sign (especially when she does it to me!). So she gave those out to lots of people at Disneyland, and then she started to wave too while we were there. I guess our family's going to have to start learning how to be more friendly to strangers. Glad we have our baby to teach us! :)

Laughing!!!

So this was totally unexpected! Maya and I were playing with a ball and we started throwing it at each other (of all things!) and Cicily started laughing histerically! It was so cute we of course kept playing the game for another 20 minutes or so. Chris and I decided there's two things we will do anything in the world to see - Cicily laughing and signing more.

Cicily's 1 year old Birthday

Thanks to everyone for all your wishes/gifts/love for Cicily's happy birthday. She had a fun birthday filled with only one appointment, presents, and fun! On the Sunday after her actual birthday she had a birthday party with all the in-town family. The party was in our newly redecorated (grass, flowers, vegetable garden) back yard and we had a BBQ, presents, and Cicily's own cheesecake birthday cake.


Presents from Mom & Dad and Maya



Her very own bike to ride! She can actually reach the floor and ride this bike- I was shocked! Who rides a bike before they even crawl?!?

Tummy Time
Eating carrots!
Sleep study
Wow, that's a lot of wires! It didn't seem to bother Cicily one tiny bit, she slept great as normal.

Maya loves to feed Cicily and Cicily loves to have Maya feed her!

Nobody does a smile like Cicily!!! I love it!
