12 months stats

This little girl melts my heart
a healthy 24 pounds!

so excited when Daddy showed up.

cute!

It's a little harder to keep her occupied while waiting....

Today we had Emory's 12 month well baby appointment. She weighs 24 pounds (90 %) and is 31 inches long (97%) AND.......PERFECT!!!! She is starting to walk more on her own, but still prefers to crawl. She loves to give open mouth kisses and has recently learned to blow kisses. She will put her hands over the eyes to play peek-a-boo, clap her hands for patty-cake, and throws her hands in the air and wait for you to do it too!

She mimics everything we do, especially Christian. For example, the other day CC and I were playing dentist and doctor (teeth cleaning and check my ears). CC had a play banana that was used for cleaning my teeth AND looking into my ears- I know- you are jealous aren't ya!!! Emory came over to play and grabbed the banana and did exactly like CC was doing.

She says mama, dada, ball, hey, hello when 'talking on the phone', says 'woof' when she hears the dogs next door barking, and just learned to say uh-oh when something falls. She is soaking everything in. She is trying to say everything we are. While in the doctor's office, she asked if Emory responded to the word 'No'. Right then, Emory turned around and said "No"!!!! The doctor said, "Well, I see she's talking!!"

She takes a 1 1/2 morning nap and 2 hour afternoon nap. She goes to bed at 7:00 and wakes up around 7:00. She is slowly starting to like whole milk and seems to be okay without having a bottle (only 2nd day without a bottle, so hopefully that will stay the same). She eats anything and EVERYTHING! She is so sweet and loves people. We love her and think she is absolutely, positively PERFECT!
