Ali's 12mo Stats

Today I took Ali to see Dr. Mas for her 12 month check-up.

She's right on track...
She weighs 21 lbs 13 oz (50%) *she was 7 lbs 13 oz when she was born
and is 30" tall (75%)*she was 19 3/4" long when she was born
She is doing all the right things developmentally...

• Walking everywhere FAST!
  
• Blowing kisses & giving hugs
• Clapping & Banging two objects together
• Dancing to music
• Waving on command or in appropriate situations
• Drinking from a straw
• She only has 2 teeth on the bottom, but the top ones look like they will be coming in any day now.
• She is a good eater... She can feed herself Cheerios, Gold Fish, Ritz Crackers, and pieces of waffle, bread, chicken, peas, fruit or whatever we are eating.
• Saying Mama, Mommy, MiMaMi & DaDa, Daddy, Hi Da to us
  
• Jabbering in her own language and "reading" to us as she turns the pages of the book...
• Starting to say a few words - her first real word was "Tur-tle", she can also say "dog", "hi", "air-plane", "all done"...
• She does such sweet little things, like walking over to me and putting her head on my shoulder, or sitting in my lap on the floor.
• She loves being outside... especially playing with leaves, rocks, and sticks

We are having so much fun with her and enjoy watching her learn and grow. She is such a happy baby and is learning something new every day! It's so hard to believe that she is already 1 year old - time really flies when you're having fun! We're just trying to take lots of pictures to capture all the memories and cherish every second with our precious little girl. We are so blessed!
