In my arms you lay
A sleeping beauty
A gentle giant of a baby
At almost a year
You finally have
A whisper of hair
Similar to William in colour
Your eyes are dark
Lashes long
And in the flash of each smile
There is Tilda
But you, Beatrice Hope, are you
And what a character you are
Full of energy
Full of fun
Punctuated with smiles and laughter
A mimic
A comic
A stair climbing machine!
At not yet one you are walking
And talking
With some recognisable words
You love climbing
And playing
And toddling around
You love biting
With your two teeth
And pulling hair
You say a loud Hiya
To every new person you meet
You repeat yourself
Until they reply
You demand attention
Command affection
You are as your name means
A bringer of joy
You love Big Bug Band
From Baby TV
And with a nod to Tilda
In The Night Garden too
You love cars and balls
And food from the floor
You love playing in water
And being outside
You love having cuddles
And coo ‘Aaaaahhh’ as you do
You love your Smart Trike
And climbing up slides
You love doors and drawers
Seeing what is inside
You love books
Have favourites
That you bring to me
We read them together
Once you’ve climbed on my knee
You are sociable
Love people
You charm, melt hearts
You perform
You adore your siblings
Want so much to be like them
Your face lights up when they enter a room
You love Cheddars and cheese
Watermelon chunks
But mostly you have breastmilk
On demand!
You sleep in my arms
Or with me in bed
The odd short spell in the buggy
Your smile is amazing
Your giggle infectious
You scream so loud when you are excited
You adore music
You love to dance
You like to stand and clap your hands
You are a star spotter
It was a first word and sign
You instantly recognise Twinkle Twinkle
Your favourite song is Wind The Bobbin’
You can do all the actions too
I am sure there are many things I have missed
About marvellous magical
Wonderful you
The loveliest girl
The luckiest girl
You are the girl who lived
Such a wonderful post, Jennie. Bea seems to be a right little character and you can see her happiness and cheek just looking at her photos x
This is a lovely insight to Bea – she sounds like such a wonderful character x
What a lovely post and what a little ray of sunshine she is!!!!!! Please tell the twins to keep their whole grapes out of arms reach from her and not leave any on the floor that roll off the plate – I heard about a toddler near us grabbing one from his older siblings plate and they are one of the worse things for getting lodged, if not impossible, so I am always compelled to tell others as not an obvious thing. Xxx
Meant to put if not impossible to dislodge x
Lovely, and gorgeous photos, I hope she has a happy birthday later in the week 🙂
Also I love that tree/play house in the back of one of those photos, so fun and quirky! x
Happy birthday beautiful girl. I can not believe that are babies are turning one, I still remember when they were tiny newborns and it feel’s like this last year has flown over. Jacob is a giant baby too he is so big. She sounds like such a character with a wonderful personality already xx
