Watch Me Grow...1 year!

Seriously? A year? Where is time going? This little peanut is a pure joy in our lives! Here we go...her last monthly update until 18 months!

*Maria weighs 21 pounds 14 ounces (63rd percentile) and is 30 1/4 inches tall (83rd percentile).
*The doctor said she looks great! Her check up went well...she was a champ with her shots. She cried as it was happening, and tears were gone the second we walked out of the room.
*Maria wears 12 months in clothes, a size 4 diaper, and a size 4 1/2 shoe!
*Maria says mom. dad, bye bye, no, and uh-oh.
*Maria has excellent receptive language. She listens when we tell her no. When we tell her where something is she goes to get it.
*Maria is a climber.
*Maria walks well and even has this waddle run thing when she wants to move fast.
*She has a new obsession with babies (real and fake).
*Maria gives open mouthed kisses that are very wet.
*She will pat your back when she hugs you.
*Maria stared going to the nursery during Mass.
*Maria eats three meals a day and 1-2 snacks. She loves most all food, especially anything with cheese and sweets. She LOVES her fruits and veggies.
*Maria still naps twice a day...sometimes three times!
*Maria sleeps from 8pm-730am.
*She still does not like any type of cuddling for bedtime.
*She loves to read books.
*Maria has 4 teeth with 2 more making an appearance soon.
*Maria plays well with Greg most days. They are getting into more fights over toys though.
*Maria is very dramatic. She can cry at the drop of a hat and turn it off just as quick.
*She likes to get her picture taken.
*She is not so much a fan of bath time anymore. :-(
*Maria waves bye bye.
*She points and cries to things she wants. Like today, we were at the doctor office, and she pointed to the door and kept waving bye bye.
*She has stranger anxiety. She is much better with boys, but is very picky with the women she will let hold her...or look at her.
*She LOVES her shoes, and if they are not on, when she finds them she tries to put them on herself.
*She travels very well in the car.
*When we start to say grace at meal times, she immediately smiles and reaches out her hands for you to hold.

It has been one joy after another watching this sweet girl grow. She certainly did not stay a baby long enough! Maria, we love you to pieces!

More to come on her big birthday party! :-)
