This cute little birthday girl is ONE! I can't believe it! I'll do a separate post on her birthday and party but for how here's an update on her with some stats.
Height/Weight: She just had her one year check up and, not surprisingly, she's still a little peanut. She's weighing in at 17.2 lbs and measuring at 29 inches long. Doctor says she is still perfectly healthy despite her small size.. She's just a petite little girl! We love her cute little bitty self!!
Likes: She still LOVES bathtime, singing, and dancing. Her favorite toys are her little people sets, her pet monkey (which she calls her baby), her ride on car and her blocks. She still loves books and reading and she enjoys it even more now that she has her very own rocking chair to sit in. She also enjoys playing with anything that isn't a toy, like my Tupperware, utensils, and the dogs food and water dish. She's so curious! She likes crafts with mom, especially painting, and "writing" and coloring.
Dislikes: She's a pretty easy going and happy baby so there's hardly ever anything on this list. She doesn't totally enjoy being put in her car seat or being bundled up (especially when she has to wear gloves) but that's about it.
Food: Now that we are weaning she has been eating food and drinking milk for meals. I did a separate post on specifics of what she eats if you're interested. Otherwise she eats anything and everything. Her favorites lately are yogurt, oatmeal, eggs and applesauce.
Words: This little girl is a CHATTER BOX!!! She's learning new words sooooo fast and loves to talk. A few new ones that I can think of are: Where are you? "Ahhh Yu?" when she is looking for someone. "Ayel" Ariel her mermaid little people. "Munty" monkey. "Oh yee" oh yeah. Up and down. "Puh" for please. "Na-Ni" for naughty (always referring to her puppy doing something). "A-beb" amen (always said VERY loudly at the end of a prayer) She's always got new words but that's most of her new ones up til now.
Milestones: Walking! 100% of the time. She used to crawl once she fell but now she stands back up and keeps going. I haven't seem her crawl in almost 3 weeks now. She's cruising. Obviously talking is still a huge milestone for her. The doctor says she's above and beyond developmentally. Her motor skills and vocabulary, especially. He also told me, while she was throwing a full on tantrum in his office (like back arched, head thrown back, kicking, screaming, and writhing) that baby's as young as her usually don't have the comprehension to connect a tantrum with results yet. I'm still undecided on whether I like that she's so far ahead in that or dislike it ;)
Overall, this month, and year even, have been amazing for us. This little girl amazes her daddy and I each and every day! She's a joy to everyone she meets and has a smile that is big and inviting. She's beautiful inside and out and I could not love her more. We're so proud of who she is becoming! She's the best!!
