One Year Old

I wrote this entry and the “Birthday Celebration” a few weeks ago but just never posted them.

IMG_4047We both dressed in red for Valentine’s Day.  Hard to believe that I went into labor with her just one year earlier.  I hear so many parents talk about how they grow up before you know it.  I can already feel that (though Gary thinks that age 2 lasted forever with Ethan).

She is in the 5th percentile for body weight compared to other girls her age.  This really surprises us because she eats a lot of food.  So far she has eaten everything we give her (except cantaloupe).  She has finally started feeding herself!  Hooray!  Right now, I’m not grinding any food at all.  She has been able to eat all different kinds of meat, so that is nice.  She’s using the “more” sign now, but does it with her hands straight like Ethan did.

She just had her 3rd tooth pop in (2 weeks after her birthday).  So now she has her 2 bottom teeth and one on the top.

She tends to be quiet, but once she starts talking, then she really does.  She doesn’t seem to be as extroverted as Ethan, but she enjoys being around people.IMG_4083I told you that she began crawling at 11.5 months.  On her 12 month birthday she crawled up the 3 steps from our living room to our dining room.IMG_4300  She plays with the xylophone much more than Ethan ever did.  I don’t even think he played with it at this age (of course, he does now since his sister does).  She enjoys the toys that have music and loves a little keyboard that Gary’s parents got for Ethan.  When she hits a button that plays music she bounces up and down.   IMG_4384 She tends to sit on one knee like in this picture above.IMG_4056We think she is a total cutie!
