Year in Review… Where Did the Time Go?

by Erika Cook, posted in Lifestyle

You guys… what a year! And what in the time warp? My daughter, Aria, turned one and I can hardly believe the transformation that she’s made in just that short a time. I know people say time flies but I literally just gave birth to her yesterday. How is she already a year old? Well, over the year, as you know, I’ve given here a different career every month to encourage her to imagine, play and dream big. Here’s that year in review.

One Month Old – Fairy

Two Months Old – Diva/Social Butterfly

Three Months Old – Baker

Four Months Old – Ballerina

Five Months Old – Cheerleader

Six Months Old – Astronaut

Seven Months Old – Fashion Designer

Eight Months Old – Pediatrician

Nine Months Old – News Anchor

Ten Months Old – Conservationist and Safari Guide

Eleven Months Old – Writer Good Morning Toes

Twelve Months Old – Service – Firefighter, Police Officer, Marine

Thank you for watching her journey and encouraging her for greatness. Even though the picture series is over, cultivating her imagination never is. Always tell your kids how great they are and that nothing is impossible.

XOXO 💋

Good Morning Toes

I just wrote my first book! You can pre-order it today!! Thank you for encouraging me to dream big and be creative every day, even in play!

I think as a parent, it’s extremely important to teach our kids that the sky is the limit. They can be anything that they can dream. So each and every month, I put my daughter into a different profession so that one day she can look back and see just where her imagination can take her. She’s 11-months-old now and in that same spirit, I made her a writer. As a matter of fact – since shes been born, we’ve been working on a book that highlights our cute morning routine. Every morning we stretch and play before we start our day, so I invite you to explore her very first published work, Good Morning Toes.

This “time-to-get-up” story is a fun opposite of a bedtime story. Good Morning Toes is a light-hearted and fun way to wake up different parts of your body through active movement. It also teaches your child different body parts, while allowing them to stretch and play.

With fun illustrations and easy to incorporate movement, everyone will have a blast waking up their bodies each and every day.

Little Miss Aria Cook is a true Texas baby, she enjoys being outside and taking leisurely strolls with her huskies Hachiko and Kekoa. When she isn’t playing or reading her favorite books, she takes time to soak up warm snuggles with Mom and Dad.

Aria plugging away on her next book!
