Father's Day 2009

When I asked Reagan what he wanted to do for Fathers Day, he replied, "Hang out in the pool with my girls." And so we did.

Catching Up

There are lots of preparations underway in the Chunn House. Next Friday I am off to Dallas for a much earned girls weekend with the Red Wine Lesbians. Next Sunday, Reagan and Melita will pick me up from the airport and we are heading to Austin to meet up with The Buchanan girls and the Gould girls. We are all super excited. Melita especially. She even practiced stowing herself away in my new luggage.
I then practiced folding myself up into a little ball in order to play in the ball pit with her. She thought this was hilarious.

In other developmental news, Melita actually used her fork properly during dinner tonight. Amazing. Less messy dinners are just over the horizon! She is also turning into quite the monkey and she loves swimming and playing in the sand. Summertime rolls.

With all her birthday excitement, I didn't share her stats from her 12 month checkup:
Height: 30 in.
Weight: 22.3 lbs.
Head: 18 in.

I am little scared because she is almost as tall as me now! She is definitely sizing up to Bungy although he still mows her over when he's excited. Which makes her cry. But then she gets her revenge when he is trying to take a nap by pulling on his tail or using him as a jungle gym. All while giggling and singing. I tell you the kid is nuts.

Birthday Wrap-Up

We survived the birthday party. Two weeks of planning and 24 hours of setting up were over in a few hours. Everything was a success and Melita came away with some awesome presents.

One gift we gave Melita was a trailer to pull her so we can ride our bikes around town.

We also gave her Playhut's Mega Playland. She loves the tunnels and the ball pit.

Nanny and Papa Bob gave her a sandbox.

She spent a lot of the day in the pool.

Her sidekick, Connor, helped her blow out her candle.

She was super tired the next day.

Happy Birthday Melita Moo!

I am absolutely speechless. I can not believe I have a 1 year old. I can't believe we made it without any major crises. At any rate, it has been a wild, but fun ride and I can't wait to see what this year brings. One major thing coming is Melita starts 'school' in August. Yowzers!

Because Melita's birthday is on a Tuesday, we are having the big party this Saturday. Today will not go uncelebrated though. Due to poor scheduling by her pediatrician, her 12 month check up is today. Not fun. BUT I am taking the rest of the day off after her appointment and I hope to get sweet treats from the bakery and eat them while riding the train in the park. And then once Reagan gets home, we are taking her out to dinner, big-girl style!

Stay tuned for a picture update later. The presents have been trickeling in since last weekend!

We love you Moo Moo!
