12 months

These past 12 months I can honestly say have felt both like the longest and shortest 12 months of my life. 

We had her check up last month and it went well.  It was a rough one though with a finger prick and 3 shots, she was not a happy camper when we were leaving.   Her stats were about what we expected

This one is an eater, she loves to eat almost anything.  I am really hopeful that this will continue over the next few years…I hope I didn’t just jinx myself by saying that out loud. 

Walking; she has really started to walk so much easier over the last month.   She literally races all over the place.

Her sign language has really started to come to life.  We easily recognize eat and milk.  She also waves, blows kisses and gives high fives as long as not too many people are looking at her.

Her words are still hard to understand, but she is trying.  We hear hi and bye anytime we are on the phone with our friends.  We hear ball, mama and dada, but that is about it.  She will carry on conversations with us for the longest times….I think she will be a talker like her daddy.

Playing outside is one of her favorite things to do, she loves being outdoors.  I hope to get some good use out of her birthday present over the next couple of months.  

Sleep is still a beautiful thing, we are still getting 2 1-1.5 hour naps a day plus her 11-12 hour night schedule. 

One of the most joyful things I have learned over the last year is a cheesy thing, but it is true, it is hard to realize how much you can love someone until you become a parent.  It is amazing, and I love every minute of it.
