Wow, that sounds so crazy! It is so hard to believe the next time her little month birthday rolls around it will actually be her BIRTHDAY! I am so close to having a 1 year old. A very strong willed, stubborn, “I do what I want,” one year old. Here is her month in bullet points (you should know the drill by know, this is the 11th one!)
• Hadley has taken a few steps several times, I am fairly certain that this time next month she will be pretty close to full blown walking
• She met Santa Claus for the first time, knows who Santa is, and know he says Ho, ho, ho
• When you starting singing patty cake, she knows to clap her hands and is even starting to be able to “roll it up”
• She can say ball when it is appropriate, day care has really focused on that this week
• Purees are gone, we are real people food- mostly turkey and Thanksgiving leftovers now (she is loving the spinach casserole I made, but then again so am I).
• She is down to 4-5 bottles a day
• I am SLOWLY starting to try to move to milk, it is going SLOWLY, as is the use of sippy cups
• Hadley celebrated her first Thanksgiving, both at home and with a feast at school
• She has a love of baby dolls and all music, especially Christmas music at this point
• She is into everything- she especially loves taking movies off my shelf, or ornaments off the tree (of course I put plush ornaments down low so she doesn’t hurt herself)
• She really loves the toilet, I am going to have to get those locks pretty darn soon, the other day she opened the lid and had her hand in the toilet within 1.5 seconds!
• She loves to shake her head no when I say “no.” It makes me laugh, which doesn’t really help in that situation
• I am trying to put shoes on her all the time to get used to, she looks so darn cute in her Ugg-like boots
• She loves to play with any electronic, my phone or camera especially. She can actually play with the apps I have downloaded on my phone- that helps occasionally on the 20 minute ride home.
• She tries to talk all the time; however, the only words she has actually said are mama, ball, and baba, uh oh…or at least words that she associates with the actually person/item/situation
• She has really taken to mimicking anything I do- coughing and sneezing included (this could get me in trouble down the road, I better be mindful about what I say in front of the baby!)
• She still seems to be such a lovable baby, in general she takes well to everyone she meets. She generally has such a cheery disposition, but every once in a while, especially when it comes to sleep- she will fight and cry, and lately has taken to throwing herself down into a tantrum- oh boy!
• She continues to amaze me every single day, not a day goes by that I am not just so thankful for her smile, her kisses, her laugh, I could just eat her right up!
I can’t wait to see what the next month brings: her first Christmas, opening presents, her first birthday, it will just be a whirlwind of greatness!
This was the hardest time I had taking her pictures. She was fussy and tired and every time I tried to take her picture she would look away or crawl away or try to grab the camera, so here is the best of what I got!
