One Year!

Hard to believe it but Laurel turned one a couple weeks ago. These last twelve months have flown by. We had her appointment this morning and everything looks great. She weighs in at 18lbs 11oz (15%), is 28.25 in tall (20%) and her head circumference is off the charts big! 


- She has taken a couple steps on her own here and there. She loves to walk around holding our fingers... I think she just needs to get a little confidence to know she can do it. I can imagine it can be tough to balance such a large noggin :-)

- I often find her mimicking our actions. I caught her trying to put her socks on her feet and she loves to try to color like her big sister.

- At her appointment her doctor asked if she is staring to show emotions... I had to give her a resounding yes. She giggles when happy, yells when angry or frustrated and asks for hugs when sad. She wears her emotions on her sleeve.

- When she sees something she wants she reaches out her hand and yells until you give it to her.

- She definitely takes after me and has a very shy streak. She teases by grinning at others than burying her face into my shoulder. But once she has warmed up to you she will give you lots of love.

- She is a carnivore at heart and given the choice would just eat ham, eggs, sausage and meatballs.

- Still NO teeth!!!
