11 (and a half) months

Here she is, almost one. I can hardly believe it, truly. I'm excited and sad all at the same time. She is such a little person now, complete with tantrums and everything!

Note to Vivienne:

Viv, I love you my Tootie. So so much. My favorite part of today was playing sidewalk chalk with you. You are so kind, and perceptive, and smart. All you want to do is share and "give love". You give love to anything that looks like it's alive. I love this about you. I love everything about you really, even when you say "nunununununununuNUNUNUNU!" to my face and begin batting at my head when you're mad...

Keep growing and discovering things. We'll be here to do it with you!

Love you Vivi bear,

Momma
