And just like that we have a one year old! What a sweet, sunny, brave-hearted wonder she is. She is walking everywhere, has ten teeth, and is a bit of a picky eater. Seriously, I think she is going to turn into one big cheese stick later, if she doesn't eat her weight in Apples and Chicken puree first!
Her favorite game is "clean up," wherein she puts things away into boxes or baskets, regardless if whether they belong or not. I think the cutest example of this is when she was playing with a refrigerator magnet in the mudroom, and when I told her to put it away, she dropped it in the nearest shoe. Too cute!
She has a lot of words and signs now. Her words are mama, up, ball, book, and bubble, and her signs are milk, more, cheese, cookie, want, and daddy. We are working a lot on getting her to say "daddy" clearly, but so far she prefers to sign and point it.
She loves to see mirrors and pictures of babies, and has perfected her kissing technique by practicing on them. She can kiss on command now, which is amazingly charming. She can also tell you what a fishie says, how big she is, and point to her head, ears, nose, toes, and tummy. Its incredible how brilliant she is, in my completely unbiased opinion!
I can't wait to see how her words start to pick up steam, and to start hearing simple sentences. I know she'll have some amazing things to say once she can say them!
It's so wonderful to watch her grow!
