My Not-So-Little Girl

I can't believe it. In exactly one week, I will have a one year old. HOW did that happen?! And how have I not blogged about her since January?! I have so much to say about this little girl that I should be able to post every day!

Here is a recap of our year:

-May 12, 2010
Born at 5:01pm
6 lbs, 12 oz

-Started rolling over in September (4 Months Old)

-16 lbs, 4 oz at 6 Month Checkup

-We exclusively Breastfed for 6 months

-Her first food was Sweet Potatoes

-Started crawling in November (6 Months Old)

-Started pulling to a stand in November (6 Months Old)

-First tooth broke through on January 18 (8 Months Old)

-Climbed the stairs for the first time in February (9 Months Old)

-Took first steps in March (10 Months Old)


And now, almost 1 Year Old:

-She walks EVERYWHERE, and even tries to run

-She says "Hi", "Dada" and when she wants to "Mama"

-She says her own version of "puffs" (sounds like "pffff") and "juice" (sounds like "shhhh")

-She can sign "Milk" and "More"

-She gives kisses

-She can connect and pull apart Duplos

-She has 6 teeth, 4 on top, 2 on bottom

-She has started drinking whole milk, and as of this week is no longer breastfeeding

-She loves her "Lambie" and "Chicky"


I can't believe how fast this year has gone and how much my baby has grown. She is such an amazing little gift in our lives and I can't imagine loving anyone more than I love her. I'm so excited to watch her learn and grow, and can't wait to see the little lady she becomes.
