Ady // 1 Year Old

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADALYN LAWREN!!!

It's beyond surreal that you're already a year old baby girl. I still think of you as my tiny little newborn but you're pretty much already a toddler now! Thank you so much for bringing us daily smiles and laughs and for being the best little girl we could have ever imagined.

Weight: 22 lbs, 8 oz (85%)
Height: 29.5 in (60%)

Sleep:  You still sleep about 11-12 hours at night but this month had a couple nights where you just woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep for a couple hours. Those nights are NOT fun little worm. You take 2 naps a day but those still range from 20 minutes to 2 hours. 

Food: Although I finished pumping last month, we had a good 15 bags that we incorporated with formula throughout the majority of this month. Then this week we added a bit of whole milk into your bottles and hope to have you fully on milk within a week or 2. You also tried more new foods but bananas and grapes remain your favorites. 

Diapers: Still wearing FuzziBunz size medium. 

Clothes: You are mostly in 18 or 24 month clothes.  

Talk: You mimic noises a bunch now including when we say 'uh oh'. We've also been working on signing for weeks now and you seem to be catching on.

Teeth: Only 1 new tooth this month and it was on the bottom. You have a total of only 5 teeth right now! 

Milestones:  This was a BIG month for milestones. Right after you turned 11 months, you started cruising everywhere. And then, around 11.5 months, you stood up unassisted out of nowhere. A couple days later you attempted the stairs and literally on your second try you climbed them all to the top. Then on July 23rd, you took your first steps and have taken a few several times a day now. It's crazy how much sooner you did than Drew and it's so fun to watch how you (and DREW) get so excited when you do step!

Other notes: Not sure if you might be a lefty like your brother. You use both your hands right now but seem to favor your left when eating. Also, you DEFINITELY got mommy's easily tanning skin. ThankGOODNESS for not another fair skin child!

Here's the monthly progression:

And one of the stinker face that we see often followed by the most happy face ever...
