One Year Old!

Well, not quite, but she had her 12 month check-up today and here are the results with a comparison to birth...
Birth: 6 lbs 13 oz
19 1/2 inches long
32 cm head circ.

1 year: 21 lbs 12 3/4 oz
30 1/2 inches long
47 cm head circ.

It's amazing to think she's tripled her birth weight and grown over 10 inches in just one year! She's walking like crazy these days and keeping mom and dad very busy (see the picture below). We've moved off baby food and formula and onto whole milk and table food. We're recognizing more and more of what she is trying to say, and we think "ba" is her sound for ball and "du" for duck. She uses sign language to get some of her needs met (more and water) and that helps a lot during meal times. Getting her to sit still long enough to eat or have her diaper changed remains one of the biggest challenges!
