My 1 year old

I cannot believe I have a 1 year old little girl! Caroline has so much energy and is a lot of fun (as usual) but I just can't believe how quickly this year has flown by.

Caroline's stats:

Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz  (7%)
Height:

Caroline is such a good eater and its finally starting to show. Instead of hanging out in the 6th percentile like she has been for at least the last 6 months she has moved up to the 7th percentile! The pediatrician was humored by this and wanted to share it with me as well.

Likes: Food (most anything); Big Brother when he spends time with her; Mommy and Daddy; puzzles; coloring (with supervision by Aunt Carrie); crawling; climbing; bath time; playing in the dog's water bowl; Butters; peek a boo; pat a cake; reading

Trying to sneak up the stairs 

Dislikes: being ignored; Big brother when he's doing something she doesn't like; being taken away from the dog bowls; being taken away from climbing stairs

Skills: Caroline is a great climber and loves any chance she can get to go to our staircase and climb! She also loves to climb on the step stools and anywhere she can before I catch her. (and will laugh and giggle when I do catch up with her)  Caroline is great at pulling herself to a stand without help. She will usually stand still for 5-10 seconds before sitting back down and also does a great job at cruising along the furniture. Caroline will walk if you assist her by holding her hands but thinks that crawling is still the fastest way to get somewhere. Caroline is also great at throwing her cup on the ground after she has taken a drink.

All the way to the top!

Caroline talks quite a bit saying words like: Hi, Momma, Dadda, dog, woof, duck, light, up, down, Carrie, Briggs, all done, drink, ears and pig.

She signs for 'more', 'drink', 'all done', 'thank you' and is working on 'please'.

Caroline goes to bed between 7:30-8 pm and will sleep until 7ish the next day. (unless we are sharing a room and then she knows that we are right there and doesn't care that it is 5:30 am, let's play!) She also still wears her harness for her hips with no issue. (next appointment is in August)

She takes 2 naps still; each one lasting 1 1/2-2 hours or longer. Although I'm starting to eliminate the first nap depending on the day. We miss so much fun stuff because of that first nap!

Caroline is still nursed twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night, although she is weaning herself from the nighttime snack currently.

Caroline loves to play with pretty much anything but really loves to play whatever Liam is playing.

Our sweet, happy, active 1 year old!
