Melody’s Growth Chart

From birth to date this is Melody’s height and weight growth chart. I created this in Excel tonight because I wanted to post it on her blog. Yes, she’s below average…a teenie tiny petite thing but healthy none the less.

Melody had a nice first birthday! We spent the afternoon at the local water gardens, the park, and then later opened gifts from mommy and daddy as well as gifts from Grandpa and Grammy.

We had her party three days before her actual birthday. She had an okay time as she came down with a bad case of hay fever. Bless her heart. She had a total of 10 people celebrate her turning point in life. No longer a baby but a full fledged toddler!

11 months old and Melody has been growing up so much!

Just this week to celebrate her turning 11 months old, we went up to the The Wooden Shoe Tulip farm and she just loved it! She enjoyed walking about in the rows, sliding down the bumpy slide with daddy, and posing for mommy and grandma! I think the most fun photos we got of her is when we decided to put her into the giant wooden clogs!  We had a few bystanders take  photos of her… Paparazzi already!

As the days grow closer to her first birthday, I’ll be busy working on birth to 1 year scrapbook. It brings a tear to my eye to see how fast she has really grown up already. She’s so brave and independent. I’ll miss those days when she was tiny and we would stare at each other face to face for hours. But in all things  each day ahead brings new joys.  Nothing compares to being a mom and a teacher.  I feel like if I blink I’ll miss something or wake up and she’ll be 5!

Time does pass ever so quickly so enjoy the little time you have with your children. I know I will be.
