ONE YEAR OLD!

I truly can't believe it.

Everyone told me it would go by fast, but that was an understatement.

I look at this little girl and can not believe that she was a teeny, tiny newborn this time last year.

She seems so big and so smart all of the sudden.

Watching her grow day by day has been the absolute most amazing joy for Jason and me.

• 20.2 pounds, 27.75 inches.
• Clothes- size 12-18 months. Shoes- size 3. Diapers- size 4.
• Words: dada (most frequent), mama, papa, uh-oh, hi, dog, hot, and ball... which is more like BALLLLL!  (she sounds SO excited about it every time she says it... her Daddy's dream come true.)
• When she wakes up in the morning or from a nap, she needs to cuddle for about 15 minutes... but after that, she's wide open, playing hard until she crashes again.
• She explores everything.
• She climbs on anything she can.  And if she can't, she'll still try to.
• She' pretty much fearless... she'll try just about anything she sets her mind to.
• Loves to brush her hair and brush her teeth.
• Thinks it's funny to dip her pacy in your drink or plate to see what it tastes like.
• Has all of the sudden become an incredibly picky eater.  She turns her head to everything, even things she used to love.  Her diet now includes only cheese, fruit, yogurt, and PB sandwiches.  And she hates her whole milk.  She just lets it dribble out of her mouth.  
• Somehow in all of her pickiness, she still knows desserts when she sees them (which I don't understand because she hardly ever gets them).  But she's starting pointing and popping her mouth at ice cream, chocolate, etc.  So funny, but so not the most polite manners!
• Likes approval when she's doing something (especially from Daddy).
• Loves a good beat!  When she hears music, she starts bobbing her head and trying to "sing" along.  Usually has her knees bouncing too.
• Still loves bath time.
• Gets sweeter, prettier, smarter, funnier, and bigger every day! And we fall more and more in love with her every day too!
