She says Mama, Dada, Na-Na (for night-night) and Da (for that while pointing to what she wants).
She jabbers all of the time.
We foresee a chatterbox on our hands.
She loves to put things over her head and around her neck.
She can typically be found sporting a pair of child headphones, an apron or things she has pulled out of the laundry.
It is her favorite past-time.
She loves to clap her hands to music or when someone says, "Yeah!"
She loves to play Peek-a-Boo.
She LOVES baby dolls.
She goes to bed with her baby and loves to carry them around the house.
She hugs them and gives them the yummiest kisses.
She loves her ball popper toy and makes sure the balls get put back in it.
She loves to pull on my lip, ear, and hair when nursing or taking a bottle.
She even does some dental work by poking and prodding all around inside of my mouth.
She really likes to pull everyone's hair and has been doing this since she was tiny and could grasp things.
She adores her big sister!
Her favorite part of the day is when Peanut comes down the stairs in the morning to greet us.
She LOVES playing with Peanut too and they play so well together.
She has loved every piece of food that has been set in front of her so far. (I think that goes back to being fed an M&M in her first week of life by her big sis. Maybe that is why she adores Peanut?)
She loves to drink water out of her sippy cup and getting used to milk.
She snuggles her head on our shoulders when she is waking up or just being held. (One of my favorite things!)
She has ESP for knowing when a baby gate has been taken down or a bathroom door is open. She scurries to get into things or play in the potty immediately!
The house has to be secured every morning against her plots of destruction...chair in front of kitchen cabinet, exersaucer in front of tv, trash can put up or hidden and so on.
The ladies in our church's nursery adore her and always comment on what a personality she has.
She LOVES to make people laugh!
She is a restless sleeper (when compared to her big sis who is a master sleeper).
She only takes an 1 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon. (She dropped her morning nap very soon after we moved.)
She goes to bed at 8:00 p.m. and is up between 6-6:30 a.m. with frequent awake times throughout the night most nights.
Thankfully she does go back to sleep on her own in the night.
She typically wakes up screaming and crying so we know she is ready to be out of the crib.
She LOVES bath time and prefers to stand during her bath.
She loves to trigger the shower on when Mommy is filling the bath tub while she and big sis are in the bath tub.
She will not let me cover her eyes to rinse her hair so she typically gets water all down her face and doesn't mind.
She currently has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 3 1/2 on the bottom. (That 1/2 tooth just started poking through right before her birthday.)
She currently weighs 23 pounds having started out in life at 7 pounds 9 ounces.
She is extremely ticklish on her ribs, thighs and feet.
She has the best, lovable, squeezable, sweet rolls on her thighs which make them even more fun to tickle.
She loves to swing.
She is a BEAR to change.
She hates, hates, hates getting dressed.
She usually ends half flipped over while I am changing her diaper and holding her ankles.
She is extreme in her moods.
She is either very happy or very ticked off!
Typically she is happy, thank goodness.
Her ticked off mood can be a bit tricky to navigate for her exasperated Mama and Daddy.
Her hair is growing and getting very curly in the back!
Happy First Year, Pumpkin!
