12 Month Update

Where did the year go?!  I am still amazed that I have a 1 year old...but this had been another great month and it seems like Addison is doing something new almost everyday.



Developments this month...
  • We have been cutting back on nursing over the last 5 weeks or so and she is now just nursing before bed...I'm dreading taking that one away from her
  • She is eating 3 good meals a day and 1 or 2 good snacks.  Her favorite food is still macaroni and cheese but she has probably eaten her weight in grapes this month too
  • She is still taking 2 good naps each day and we are waking her up at 7:30 in the morning and she goes to sleep for the night after her last feeding which is somewhere between 9 and 10.
  • She has added 'ball' and 'WOW!' and 'Mimi' to her ever growing vocabulary
  • She is working on her animals sounds and makes sounds for dog, monkey and elephant...they all kind of sound the same but we are still working on that ;)
  • She loves to play outside and most evenings include at least a little outside time so she can ride in her little car, play ball or just run
  • She can throw the ball and can kick/dribble the soccer ball.
  • She is a runner now!  We've moved past walking and she now runs from one end of the room to another or away from me the second I take her diaper off to get into the bath
  • She has been climbing up the stairs for awhile now but this month John taught her to crawl down the stairs backwards
  • She raises her hands above her head when you ask her how big she is or when you say 'touchdown'
  • She loves to read books and will bring us endless amounts of books to read to her while we are sitting on the ground playing
  • She can blow bubbles in the bath but refused to ever do it while at swim lessons :)
  • She has started pointing to things and even says what's that...or her version of it anyways
What a difference 12 months make!
