{Monthly Baby Update} One Year!

I'm One!
Weight: 23 lbs., 14 oz. (88th percentile)
Height: 31.5 inches (apparently her height is off the chart)
Clothing Size: Still in either 18 months or 12-18 months. However, I am starting to see that some of her 18 month clothing is starting to get a little snug.  
Diaper Size: Size 4
Feeding:  Feeding is still REALLY difficult. She is still not interested in "real" food, which has been frustrating. The doctor assured us that this is normal and it can take introducing a food up to 15 times in order for a baby to take to it. So we'll just continue to introduce and cross our fingers that one day it will stick. We're in the process of transitioning her from formula to whole milk which will make our wallet happy - Formula is crazy expensive! She's still taking three, 8-10 oz. bottles/day and eating "real" food/baby food twice a day. Our goal going forward is to lower her milk intake slightly and introduce more "real" food. 
Milestones: Baby Girl is cruising! She's not walking by herself, yet, but she can get around the living room with the help of our ottoman, couch and chairs.

Don't mind of all the crap laying around. Yes, we use our banister to hang hats.  She is working on a 5th tooth right now. She's taking it like a champ! Baby Girl is pointing at everything. On our walks, she'll even point in the direction of a dog and say "daaaaaaaa" (which is her version of dog). She's definitely very expressive with her hands. We're noticing that she has a very dainty side to her. 

This is her "I don't know" response. Usually accompanied by a shoulder shrug. 

Loves: Playing with anything other than her toys. So this includes - opening the broiler (where I keep cookie sheets), opening the pantry, standing and holding on to her stroller, finding cords under our entertainment center, banging on the fireplace, climbing up the stairs. Just to name a few.  Another favorite is standing up in her crib and tossing her small blankets. She thinks it's great.  She is still a huge fan of giving hugs and kisses. I hope that never goes away.
Hates: Still not a fan of food.  Looking forward to: Baby K taking her first steps. Celebrating the holidays with her - Starting with the pumpkin patch and trick-or-treating!
