Happy first birthday sweet Dalia! We can’t believe our little firecracker is no longer a baby. Dalia crawled for the first time six days before her birthday. By the end of the week she was tearing through the whole house. She can say Dada, Mama, dogga (dog), nana (banana), all done, Dalia and Jack Jack. She points her finger and whatever she wants and has perfected the food drop. When she is done eating she delights in dropping her food off the high chair, much to Ollie’s delight.
Dalia’s favorite toy is an activity table with music and lights, she can stand there and play all day. She loves to dump wooden blocks out of a bucket and knock down towers the boys build for her. Maracas and musical toys are also a big hit.
She adores her older brother. When she gets out of the tub, she points emphatically and cries “Jack Jack! Jack Jack!” until I take her back in to say goodnight to Jack.
Dalia is a finicky eater. For a while she would eat fruit and only fruit. She loves all berries, bananas, kiwi, mandarin oranges, etc. This past week she has started to enjoy grilled cheese and chicken nuggets, so we are making progress. She won’t eat veggies, and if you give her a spoonful of pureed peas, look out! Dalia is not shy and will let you know what she likes and what she doesn’t.
Our girl is not a snuggler, she is independent, confident and fearless. But she definitely likes company while she plays. She loves to explore the house, now that she is crawling.
Happy birthday sweetie, we love you so much!
