Happy Birthday Marissa!
My little baby turned 1 yesterday (on Easter)! She is growing up so fast and we love her so much! A few things about her at a year:
-We may be in trouble- she is a total flirt and she especially loves men. She will smile and wave until she gets their attention and has them wrapped around her little finger in 2 seconds.
-She is a great eater. She will eat just about anything (of course including dirt and all that kind of stuff too...), her only stipulation is that you mix it up and give her some variety. Some favorites are avocado, strawberries, blackberries, bananas, and anything we are having for dinner.
-Loves her brother and also enjoys tormenting him. He loves lining up his cars and she can't resist crashing them, much to his dismay.
-She's getting a little bit closer to walking but I think it still may be a ways off.
-Still nursing but we're working on the weaning now that she can have cow's milk.
- Says mama, dada, and more (ha!), and signs more, eat, drink, milk, all done, book, please, and gerbil. She tries so hard to say baby but it just comes out "da".
-Is pretty much done with morning naps but takes a good afternoon one and sleeps great at night.
-Kind of has a mullet at the moment, and has 12 teeth now.
-Figures out how to do things/get into stuff pretty quickly.
-Gives us the best hugs and cuddles but is not big on kisses.
-Loves mooching anything off of Dad and if he tries to open his computer on the couch she will climb onto his lap and beg him to watch something.
Happy birthday Marissa!! We sure do love you!!!

Wow 1 years old! And 12 teeth! What a cute girl
12 TEETH?!?!?!?!? Oh my goodness!! Nursing with 12 teeth is huge! haha. Austin only has 6 and no signs of any more! She is so darling and grown up, time to start thinking when to have #3! haha oh who am I kidding, I know what my plans are! Not anytime soon! haha. I will call you this week, we're due for a chat!
She is beautiful, so cute. We love her too. What a very GOOD little girl too. Thanks for telling us about her.
She is such a cutie pie! I can't wait to meet her. Ha ha, funny comment you left on our blog:) Let us know when you are working on #3 and we will start working on #4! wink wink
Happy Birthday Marissa! So glad we could celebrate with you guys. I love the top picture of her. She looks so grown up!!
I didn't realize that Marissa's birthday was so close to yours. Happy Belated Birthday to both of the Dettinger girls! Glad you had a fun Easter, too! P.S. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm not a fan of Chicago style pizza. it was one of the things I was psyched to have access to and finally try when we moved here, too. Glad you are enjoying it though! How nice they have a GF option there for Josh, too! :)
happy birthday marissa!! you're adorable! and i can't wait to meet you! :)
I can't believe she's one already!I love the look on her face with the Easter bunny. Totally reminds me of Lizzie.
