TWELVE Months

ONE YEAR!!! I know, I know, I can't believe it either. 12months has now come & gone & in a flash she is already 13months! Your guess is as good as mine as to how in the world it has already been a whole year. I handled it pretty well I think. I did cry the night before her birthday though. I always rock her a little before laying her down at night. As I was rocking her that night it literally felt like yesterday I was holding her in the hospital. You don't realize how fast a year goes by until you see it through your child. It happens soo fast! I came into the living room that night already weepy & Stephen asked what I was going to do when she starts school if I'm already crying over her bday. Well, that was the wrong thing to say because I boo-hooed even worse, haha! I told him, "don't ever say that to me" lol I can't even imagine sending her to school right now, baby steps ok!
She is just as entertaining as ever & we love it! She challenges us everyday & is so strong willed. I keep saying we're are going to end up on an episode of Nanny 911, haha! Now don't get me wrong she is an excellent baby but she is just so determined to do it her way, all the time. She still REFUSES to say Da-da. I don't get it, I really don't. Her list of words so far consist of Mama, Nana, mine, night-night(for bedtime obviously), & mimi..which is what she says for Minnie or Mickey Mouse. She loves her some Minnie Mouse!

At her 1yr checkup she weighed 21lb 12oz & was 29in long. She is starting to get a little picky about what she will eat but I guess that just comes with the age. She loves Ritz crackers & would live off them if we would let her. Her other faves now are green beans & grilled cheese sandwiches. By the end of the month we had switched her to whole milk & completely taken the bottle away. Before then I would still give her a bottle before bed even though she didn't really need it. It was just her time to wind down before bedtime so I was worried about taking that away but she never fussed about it being gone. I still rock her for a few min before laying her down though, I'll be doing that until she won't let me anymore:)
