A few weeks ago our baby girl turned 1, and what an amazing 1 year old she is! It amazes me how much personality this girl has. She loves clothes, purses (or buckets, or anything else you can fill and empty and carry around on your arm), shoes, hats (putting them on and taking them off. Not a big fan of wearing them around), but at the same time loves cars and airplanes, and wearing William's jetpack.
My mom made her a green dress a month or two ago, and when we tried it on her, she got SO mad when we tried to take it off. So we put it back on her and she wore it around the rest of the day. Then a few weeks ago we saw a cute little green with white polkadots raincoat at the store, and decided to try it on her. Whether or not we were going to get it didn't matter. She was NOT letting us take that thing off of her. We had to cut the tags off of her to check out. I guess green is an appropriate favorite color for a St. Patrick's Day baby!
Spring and summer are going to be so fun with this girl. She loves being outside, eating dirt and woodchips, and walking around. She's been taking steps for over a month now, but has just recently voluntarily started to walk around. So cute to watch those wobbly legs.
She loves to eat. She loves it when I put a bowl full of anything in front of her, and hand her the spoon. It's so nice to be able to give her the freedom to feed herself. She gets quite a bit in her mouth successfully, but is also a bathe-me-after-every-meal type gal.
She signs really well. She started just before she hit ten months, her first signs were all finished and drink. In addition to those she now does eat, bath, banana, and a few others. She's not too big on words yet, but kinda says "dada," and she can tell you what cows and monkeys (mostly Curious George. She's a big fan) say. It's pretty darn cute.
She is a good "helper", always helping me "sort" laundry, load and unload the dishwasher, and put toys away. Basically it's really hard to get anything down with her around, cause she always wants to do things her way.
Her favorite books are Curious George board books, and she loves flipping through paper books as well.
She loves William and loves to be with him, and wants whatever he wants. Which is pretty sweet, but a little hard for a big brother who loves his independence.
I absolutely love the way her hair curls out around her ears and along the back.
She folds her arms for prayers, and every once in a while during a meal, she'll fold her arms and mumble a few sounds and keep eating. It's pretty darn cute!
I can't remember her stats from the Drs appointment. I know she was 19 lbs 2 oz (17th for weight) and was in the 60th for weight. She's so busy, it's no wonder she is on the low end for weight.
She is a momma's girl, which is kinda fun, but is also going through some intense separation anxiety issues. But once she warms up she is pretty social!
She's such a happy girl and has brought so much joy into our home and family. We love our sweet girl!
