So... Today Alexandra turned 1 year old.
It's mindblowing. One year has FLOWN by! It feels like it wasn't that long ago I was at neonatal care worrying about her, and she was just days old.
Now she is one years old, walks around while holding on to things, laughs and "talks" (I need the baby-translator from Simpsons...). She is very active and happy most of the time. Very easy to bring around on trips and meet new people. She seems to be quite secure in herself and not afraid of things. Even though she wants mom and dad sorta around, she ain't afraid to explore areas when she's been there for a lil bit. Or to sit in a strangers lap, well... stranger to her, but friends and relatives of ours. She loves our cats, and crawls after them all the time! Skuld accepts her, while Verdandi is still a bit weary... I did notice today though that Verdandi is slowly relaxing around Alexandra to. Took a year, but I am confident. None of the cats have shown any aggression against Alexandra at all. And Alexandra is really good with the cats. When she does the baby/toddler petting motion (looks like she's about to hit the cats), me or![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73 just says 'Pet carefully, Alexandra", and she does. She really does. She is very gentle with the cats for being so little.
She is a good kid/baby/toddler, and I am very proud of her already.
To the little birthday party here in our apartment, our HOME, we had quite a few guests! :-) MIL was the first to arrive... with a ton of gifts. Thenpeting73's aunt and cousin came along. With more gifts. And his uncle by marriage. Then my darling best friend and Alexandras godmother spicehobbit also came along with more gifts. And then my brother and mother to! With yet again MORE GIFTS! X-D
Oh yeah. Alexandra has been really spoiled today! LOTS of new toys today and a few clothing stuff. And something to save for when she gets older to. :-)
It was a lovely day all around, and Alexandra behaved wonderfully. She got to stay up 1 hour later than normal, but since there were so many people there and so many new toys, she hardly noticed. When we put her to bed though at around 8:30pm, she feel asleep so fast it was crazy! X-D
So yeah. I've had a great day.peting73 did to. And so did all our guest, our family. This day. Was wonderful. :-)
