In my family, we have a "birthday week," instead of a "birthday." Not really. Well. Kind of. This is actually a sort-of joke, started between my mother and father. I am not sure who started it, but I am guessing that my mom made the joke that while other people have a birthday, my dad had a birthday week.
In keeping with this tradition, this week will be Mia Gianna's birthday week. In case you don't know, Gianna turns the big 1 on Thursday. I will try to refrain from talking about how much I am affected by this, how sad I am that my baby is turning 1, wah, wah, wah.
This morning, she stood while playing the piano. I called her Elton John. I think she liked it, because she just continued to stand and smile while I sang, "I'm still standing! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still standing! Yeah, yeah, yeah." Not one of my favorite songs, but it was appropriate.

And, just in time for those 1st birthday photos, she is getting her top right toofy. She is going to have a nice Jack-o-Lantern smile for her 1st birthday.

This week I am going to attempt to blog every day about my baby-almost-1-year-old. And I am going to attempt to not cry while doing it. Wah, wah, wah.
