12 Months Old aka 1 Year!

Our little girl is ONE!! We have so enjoyed our first year with this sweet, cuddly, silly, smart and adorable little girl, and look forward to what the next year brings. She has developed quite the personality, and always knows how to make us laugh. Below are some highlights about the birthday girl and her talents:

• weighs approx. 18 lbs, 7 oz
• now has 4 teeth
• loves her push toy and ride-on toys
• pretends to go night night
• puts the phone to her ear and says "hello"
• gives "big hugs" and kisses, blows kisses
• loves Ski kisses (leans in for them)
• loves to imitate sounds and gestures
• loves to eat, especially grapes and black beans
• is learning to put herself to sleep and stay asleep longer at night
• loves to walk from place to place
• absolutely loves the water/bath
• dances/bounces to music
• raids the kitchen drawers and cabinets and likes to pull everything out of them
• climbs up and down the stairs
• loves to sit on the stair landing and throw her toys down the stairs
• is constantly babbling and can say a few words - Mama, Dada, Dog, Hello

And just for fun, since we did the first 6 months on her 6 month birthday, here is a month-by-month guide to how much she has changed in the last half of a year:
