Her chalkboard table…
McCanless and mommy decided to paint the playroom table with chalkboard paint. McCanless just loves it!
McCanless’ First Birthday Party!
What a day! McCanless had such a great 1st birthday party! She had eight grandparents, nine little friends and lots of other “big people” at her party who love her dearly!
January 5, 2005
We celebrated McCanless’ true birthday at Rancho Grande with Carl, Brucie, Tommy, Terri, Kacy, Kate, and Alston! Afterwards, we went home to open the first round of birthday presents! Her birthday turned out to be a week-long event!
Playing around…
After her birthday party on Saturday, McCanless had a great time before Grandmama and Granddaddy headed back to Hilton Head.
Happy New Year!
McCanless didn’t quite make it to see the ball drop, but she had fun anyway!
(McCanless loves her sleep, and rarely stays up past 7:00)
SHE IS WALKING!!!!
McCanless has been able to take a few steps at a time for about a month now, but she has really taken off lately! I think is began when she became very frustrated one day. She was holding her dolls and trying to get across the room. She couldn’t hold on to both of them and crawl at the same time, so she just walked! Now she walks everywhere! (or attempts to walk..she still hasn’t mastered it yet, but she is getting there)
McCanless playing with her dolls…
McCanless is such a girly girl. Her most favorite thing to do is sit in my lap in the mornings when I put on my make-up. She loves to plunder through my makeup bag, which is why Aunt Kacy gave her a makeup bag for Christmas! McCanless will brush her hair, and “put on her lipstick,” and even dry her hair with her new battery operated hair dryer!
McCanless also has a silver bracelet that her grandmama (Sarah) gave her. She wears it everyday, and will hold out her hand to put it on every morning!
She is kissing her baby.
This is McCanless finding her doll’s “EYE.” She can point out eyes, nose and head, and is beginning to recognize many other words. She looks at the fireplace and says HAAAA, which means HOT. Any time she sees a small dog or cat she says KEE KEE in a high pitched voice. (I think this is because she hears me talking to the pets in a higher voice???) She can also sign for the word MORE. We began teaching her a bit of sign language, and she really caught on quickly. We just need to keep up with it!
