Stats
We had our one year doctor’s appt. today. She whined and clung to me during her exam, but was fine for her TB test and blood test (random testing for anemia). Weirdo.
Weight: 24.8 lbs 95th percentile
Height: 30.7 inches 95th percentile
Head circ.: 48.5 inches 97th percentile
She is such a pain to feed these days. The only dinner foods she will eat willingly are sandwiches and pizza. So basically…bread. I keep at it, we’re getting there slowly. In the meantime I still feed her baby rice cereal with food hidden inside. She’s catching on to my tricks though.

We Have a One Year Old!
Crazy! Well, because Chris is not with us, I didn't have a party but just took her to the water park and got a cake. She had a great time!

She's a walkin fool now! She does it all: walking, running and standing up without holding onto anything.
In the last few weeks she has began sharing. It's so cute. She shares everything, and if I don't accept it she will force me to by grabbing my hand and putting the item in it. She also fed me today for the first time! She has never shared her food with me before.
She is eating real food for the most part, but is really selective. She really only likes bread or starches. She is also in the beginning stage of phasing from bottle to whole milk. Funny thing, to this day she will not hold her own bottle, never has. But she will drink from a sippy cup, water bottle, straw and real cup all by herself. Silly kid! She tries to feed herself with a spoon too but it gets pretty messy.
She started saying "up" for a while but kind of stopped. So back to babble babble, dad did did dad, fart noises and what I like to call "the zombie apocalypse".
Her favorite thing to do is charge at you with her eyes closed. I think she thinks she is invisable! Her new fun passtime is being tossed onto a bed of pillows. She is getting a tanline from excessive beach beach beach! She really loves being outside, splashing, and feeding the birds. Don't worry, she gets 50spf slathered on with every dip, sits in the shade and wears a rash guard, hat and even water socks. I don't play!

BREAKING NEWS! SHE TOOK HER FIRST STEPS TODAY!
It all started just today! She has been at it all day. She kept letting go of my hand and taking a few steps, then 3 and 5. I was only able to catch her taking a few, but she walked almost cleared across the room twice today. It's only going to get better with practice! Now that she has screwed up the courage, I think I may be screwed! Ha.

Stuff
Figured I should take the time to write something. This little nugget is almost 11 months old already! Where did the time go, seriously?
So...lets see..what is she up to these days...
She is taking that next big step towards walking. I have for months held her hands and let her run amok, but I finally realized that she was not learning how to balance herself by doing this. So about 3 days ago I firmly started only holding one hand. The first day she would get so mad because she couldn't walk fast anymore, so she would throw herself on the floor and have a fit. We're over that hurdle, and she can walk pretty darn good! She only relies on me a little.
Yes, she has in recent weeks realized the power of a tantrum. When she really wants something I will hear about it!
She gets no more pacifiers except strictly at bedtime now.
She has 4 molars coming in all at the same time right now, I feel so bad for her! But she does great with it, I still to this day have not had to give her any medicine (knock on wood). So she's got all her front teeth in and we're cooking up the backs. Yippee skippee. I hate all this teething, but am looking forward to her getting to eat more types of food! Right now her favorite thing to eat is any kind of sandwich. She LOVES bread. She gets a turkey and muenster sandwich everyday for lunch, no crusts, cut into hand held strips. I am such a mom.
She is still just babbling, no real words yet. Although, I swear she says hi every once in a while. I say hi and wave to her all the time. (She will wave on command!)
She also loves to have conversations with herself in the mirror. Our closet doors are mirrors, so she likes to slide them back and forth while flirting with herself.
I think that's enough rambling for one sitting. Hope all you girls had a happy Mother's Day. I did...well the best I could :)
