April 30th= 1 yr old

How time flies..... Jessyka turned a year old on April 30th. She is such a joy and blessing in our lives. She definitely keeps us on our toes. She is in a big girl bed now and loves it! She sleeps so much better than she did in her crib. On a good night we are getting 12-14 hours sleep out of her because some days she is too into something to stop for a nap. She is talking, walking and crawling. She talks in full sentences on occasion but mostly its her baby gibberish. She must think she is pretty funny because she will say something and then start giggling. She definitely knows what she is saying even if we don't. The latest saying that breaks my heart but annoys me at the same time is "No night night mama". She has 6 teeth already and is working on what looks to be 2 more coming in. At her one year check up she was still 21 pounds (which she's been for the last 4 months) and was 30 inches long. Her pants have gotten a lot shorter on her so she has definitely had a growth spurt since then. She is active just like her daddy and loves being outside working and tinkering with things. She is getting more and more fascinated with books which is of course a good thing. Anything that rolls or turns is a plus in her book and she loves balls (soccer balls, bouncy balls or the "fuzzy ball" that her and Nana named Crazy Mike). She is a dare devil just like daddy too. Yesterday she decided to jump off the couch intentionally....not once but twice! We were lucky enough to catch her mid air. Even being daddies girl she still has some of mama's traits too. Every time she hears music whether it's from our computer, ipod, tv commercial or in the car she loves to do the dance that her Papa Steve taught her.
