Rilynn
so far you...
*weigh 21.5 lbs & are 31 inches long!
*are still nursing about 4 times a day. Started you on cows milk & you drink a few other things like juice & lots of water too but still prefer nursing =)
*have 12 teeth!! Not only did you get your top molars before your first birthday, but at your 12 month check up the dr. commented about you having a mouth full of teeth! It wasn't until AFTER we left I discovered your bottom 2 molars had come in...you have NOT had much trouble teething AT ALL! No drooling, or extra fussiness like I had with Greyson. I never know when your teeth have come in until I see them or feel for them. These have allowed you to eat a lot more!
*can eat just about anything we give you! You have had your first taste of honey, peanut butter, peanuts & eggs. No allergic reactions yay! You really wanted an actual peanut & daddy wasn't sure you could chew it, but now that you have top & bottom molars, you had no problem & really liked them! Daddy made you a peanut butter & jelly sandwich like a big girl & you ate the whole thing!
*have gotten a lot more hair on your head! Got to put it in a teeny pony tail on your first birthday =) We still use lots of sticky bows because most of your hair is coming in the back or top of your head instead of the front...just like Greyson did!

*sleep has been a little unusual lately. I think it's another growth spurt...you would rather sleep in our bed, & if you wake up & notice you are in your crib you usually let us know you aren't happy with the arrangement. We will work on that. Nap about 1-2 times a day & anytime you are in the car
*have learned to WALK! You took your first real steps the day after your birthday. You were going after an orange drink Greyson had & completely surprised mommy & daddy! Ever since you have taken steps here & there until you are walking all over the place now! Nana & Papa got to see you for Christmas & you got more steady all week long & don't walk if you are being coaxed...we have to let you do it on your own...miss independent!
*hate hearing the words no no. Sometimes you cry, sometimes you "talk back" & sometimes you just ignore me = /
*are talking quite a bit & adding new words to your vocabulary. You can say our names- Mama, Dada, Papa, Nana- Love saying Bye Bye & Hi/Hey while waving. Say nye nye (night night) at bed time & "repeat" sounds of words we say to you like bah (ball) pah cak (patty cake) etc =) this week you added the words Thank you, c'ya & cheeeeeese (for pictures)
*celebrated your very FIRST birthday with a winter ONEderland theme. Lots of snow, snowflakes & trees were in the decor. You really enjoyed eating your cake, visiting with all the guests & opening your presents! Your favorites were the LARGE stuffed animals, a toy camera, toy owl & your own rocking chair! Lots of family & friends came to celebrate your first year & it was so much fun!
*if you see people clapping (on a movie, tv or at an event) you chime right in & clap too. You really like singing in church & like listening to music or mommy singing. You clapped while people sang Happy Birthday to you! You know when you are the center of attention!

*are in size 3-4 disposable diapers, still wearing our cloth diapers & mostly in the all in ones we've had for 3 years
*wearing 12-18 mo size clothes depending on brand, 18 month sleepers & size 3-4 shoes
*you have your first "cold" that you got after your first birthday & it is sticking around. Both you & Greyson have the crud, so lots of humidifiers & kleenex have been used!
*really like Christmas lights & seeing all the fun Christmas decorations at different places. You have not bothered the trees in our house, but like to touch the ornaments every now & then
*like to interact with other small children/babies & like to play with them. You are learning to share & play very well with your big brother...we need to learn to share though. Lots of confusion with which toys belong to who & you let Greyson know when you want something!
*celebrated Christmas with mommy, daddy, Greyson, Nana, Papa & Poppy! We had Christmas breakfast then opened our presents. Santa brought you lots of BIG presents this year--a big barn toy as tall as you that you love to interact with by pushing all the button sounds, growing your "garden" going in & out of the door & gathering eggs. Poppy brought you a life sized stuffed pony with a saddle for you to "ride" indoors!! It is SO neat!! More things to ride included Greyson's big truck that you LOVE being pushed around in, a wagon to ride in from Nana & Papa & daddy got us a Kawasaki Mule to use around the farm!!
