I swear, we DO take pictures of this child, but it certainly seems that I never get them up on here. Well, turns out that’s a good thing. Our computer crashed, and since we haven’t taken any pictures off of the camera, we didn’t lose any important data! Mia did have a birthday though, and she is now a full toddler. 🙁 She enjoyed her birthday, and actually liked ripping the paper (though the toys have been a big hit as well).
We went to the doctor this week for her one year check up, and here are her stats:
length: 32 inches (93rd percentile)
head circumference: 18 inches (90th percentile)
weight: 23 pounds and some ounces (80th percentile)
She seems to be following a similar pattern to her sister. Start out round and chubby, and then just stretch out! She is a full time walker, and we almost never see her butt scooting anymore. She really loves her big sister, and often will lay her head down on Isabell’s shoulder or lap. Currently, Mia’s favorite game is what I call “Attack Of The Killer Baby!!” She walks over and throws herself across your tummy while you’re laying on the floor. Usually it’s just a good way to get a snuggle from her, but she has caught me by surprise a few times!!
I can’t believe how big she is getting! Still not many words, though she does chatter up a storm. Her only spontaneous word seems to be “uh-oh”, though there are times I swear she also says “Dada”. She has signs for: MORE, CRACKER, MILK, ALL DONE, PLEASE. And she will copy lots of things, though “ni night” seems to be a big one right now. She is a serious pointer, and will tell you what she wants. She says “thank you” though it’s mostly just intonation.
Can’t believe how much she has changed over the past few month. Four months ago she was barely rolling over, and was pretty dang quiet….I miss the little baby, but dang the toddler is getting her 3rd and 4th tooth now, and she’s dang cute too. 🙂
