12 months

Ellie, you are a whole year old!  I really cannot believe it.  You have grown and changed so much and you are the sweetest, happiest (most of the time!) most content baby.  I am so proud to be your mommy!

First of all, you are walking!  You really only do it when we stand you up and cheer you on, but you take 4 or 5 steps so well!  I know you will be on the go very soon.

You have become a very picky eater recently.  You could pretty much live on yogurt if I let you.  You like your cheese puffs, cereal bars, crackers, pasta, and tonight you ate spaghetti for dinner with us and you loved it!

We had your 12 month appointment the other day and Dr. Amy said you were perfect.  We are starting you on whole milk but so far that hasn't gone over too well.  You are doing better with your sippy cup, though!

Weight:  23 lbs. 12 oz.  90%
Height:  31 inches 95%
Head 97%

You say hi, bye bye, ba ba (bottle), Da Da.  You speak your own language the rest of the time.  You love to look in the mirror and talk to yourself.  You wave at EVERYTHING!

Happy birthday, sweet girl!  We love you SO much:)
