12 months/ One Year!

Happy Birthday baby girl!  I can't believe it is already your first birthday.  Time has gone by so quickly.  I have loved getting to know you this first year and watching you grow.

You love to babble away in baby jibberish.  No real new words yet, although I think you have a word for kitty and for hello.  I think kitty sounds like tee tee.  And hello sounds like uh whoa because you say it every time you talk on your play phone.

You are so cute when you play now.  You love your dolls and I've seen you share your paci, try to put headbands on them and give them kisses.  You also love putting things inside boxes and reading your books.

You give kisses now, which I think is the most adorable thing in the world.  You lean in and make a mmmm sound.  I feel so special to get kisses from you.  You also can clap your hands now.

You have 3 new teeth.  Your two front teeth came in and you got another bottom tooth making a total of 5 teeth.  You have two more on top that are in the process of coming down and I think the other bottom tooth will come through soon too.

Another big accomplishment is that you can stand all by yourself, but you don't want to do it.  I saw you do it by accident the other day because you were distracted by holding a toy with both hands.  Then later that day I stood you up in your room and let go.  You stayed standing for a few seconds and then sat down.  I haven't been able to get you to do it again though.

You like to walk by pushing the computer chair around.  You will also walk if we hold your hands, but you're not ready to try it on your own quite yet.

I may add to this later, but I really wanted to get it posted on your actual birthday.  I will definitely add some pictures, but I don't have time right now.

I love you so much baby girl and had a great time celebrating your birthday.  Can't wait for your parties!  Those will be a separate post.
