Ilah, 13 Months Old

post from From Marriage to Motherhood on 19 February 2011 09:09:34 PM. © From Marriage to Motherhood

Ilah, last week you turned 13 months old!! The time is just flying!! Let's see what you've been up to....

You still: Wear a size 4 diaper, are a great sleeper, take 2 naps a day and wear 18 month clothes.

You weigh 26.6 lbs and are 30.7" in height.
You are so social. You just love being around people ? especially other little kids.

You are always offering your food to mommy or daddy. You love to share. This goes for your toys too.
Anytime you see mommy or daddy eating something, you want some of whatever it is ? even if you have your own food in front of you. And of course ? we always share!

You love playing in the Tupperware cupboard. In fact, you love getting into ALL the cupboards drawers.
You have a fascination with playing with toilet paper and Kleenex. You rip them into itty bitty pieces and hand them to us ? one tiny piece at a time.

You had your first cold this month {mommy caught one too}. Thankfully it didn?t last long and you got over it just a few days later. Every time you saw mommy blow her nose, you would come to me for a tissue and do the same! It was hilarious!!

In the past month you have started to use a spoon and a fork and are beginning to feed yourself.
You have been showing us where your eyes, nose and mouth are for about a month now.
You are following directions when we tell you to do things.

After changing your diaper, you have started to want to throw it away in your diaper pail yourself. So now you lift the lid and dispose of it all on your own!

You are very cooperative when we dress you. You extend your arms and legs and make it so easy for us!
You absolutely hate having your diaper changed!

You still LOVE to dance!!! You?ve added some new moves and spin ?round and around in circles!

Your favorite word at the moment is ?No!?. Not only do you shake your head, but you also will shake your finger back and forth at mommy since you see me do it to you!

You have absolutely no separation anxiety! You are quite an independent little girl!
You light up every time you see your Abuela!!

YOU now initiate peek-a-boo, and other games, with US! Your new favorite game is to hand us pieces of your puzzle, one at a time, and once you have given every single piece to us, you put your hand out so that we can do the same thing to you.

You have started doing this new thing of sitting down on your bottom when we take a hold of your hand to lead you somewhere that you don?t want to go.

At just 13 months of age, you had one of your friends sleepover ? for 5 nights! Mommy?s friend Vanessa, and her little girl Alina {who was born the same week as you} came from Las Vegas, NV to visit us! We had such a fun time with them, and even took a little 3 day jaunt to Savannah! You were such a good little girl!

Daddy introduced you to a new cartoon called ?Bubble Guppies? and you LOVE it!
You are getting so tall. You reach right on up and can grab anything that is close to the edge of a table.

You are such a happy, happy, happy baby!! And a hilarious one!!! I mean, seriously....your pose above...comical!!!

Sweet Ilah, with each passing day you are doing new things ? I?m sure I haven?t written them all here. But I sure am enjoying my days with you and watching you develop into a sweet girl who loves discovering the world around her. We adore you, and love you, so much!!

- Mommy & Daddy

Red Wedding Gown - Trend or Tradition

post from Wedding Etiquette by Luxurious Wedding .com on 19 February 2011 04:22:00 PM. © Wedding Etiquette by Luxurious Wedding .com

When designer Malan Breton ended his 2011 Fall Collection with the OUI for MATTISON by Malan Breton red wedding gown, we knew brides would love it. But if you are wondering if you could wear it down the aisle the answer is clearly "Yes". Wearing a Red Wedding Dress would be reclaiming the origin and tradition of the wedding dress.

Throughout the ages, Red was the traditional wedding dress color. Red is the color of good luck and auspiciousness. White was never even considered until 1840 when Queen Victoria had a white wedding gown made to incorporate some white lace she owned. Wanting to be like the Queen, women soon adopted the White Wedding Gown.

Roman brides wore fiery red veils. Today, Greek, Albanian and Armenian brides wear red veils. Chinese brides wear red wedding gowns and are carried to the ceremony in a red litter. Then the bride walks on a red carpet and is greeted by the groom who lifts her red veil. In ancient Russia people also loved the color red which symbolized joy, sun and beauty by wearing a red color sundress.

Roman brides wore red to protect themselves from evil. Brides in the middle ages wore red as a mark of the high status and many Indian brides still hold to this tradition. Chinese brides still wear red on their wedding day as a expression of good luck.
The Red wedding dress, is not a departure from the traditional. It is a return to the origins of the wedding gown.

Luxurious Wedding Recommends... OUI for MATTISON by Malan Breton's red wedding gown for the 2011 bride. The OUI for MATTISON wedding gown is also available as a bridesmaid's dress and both can be custom ordered in an array of colors.

For more information on the OUI for MATTISON by Malan Breton wedding gown contact Deborah L. Lynch at the MattisonNetwork.
