12 months

I realized I still haven't written Olivia's monthly post! Her big 12 month post. I can't believe she is already a year and not really a baby anymore. She a little toddler, and she definitely toddles! She is still the sweetest most adorable girl in the whole world.


- you wear size 4 diapers, but they are a little large sometimes!
- you are in pretty much all 12 month clothes, and some 9 month onesies.
- you weigh 21 lb 4 oz (55%)
- you are 30 inches long (80%) still so tall!
- your head is 18 1/4 inches around (85%)
- you love to eat, but your favorite is any sort of fruit. I don't think you've met a fruit you didn't like. You still dislike eggs and don't love meats.
- you are walking and sometimes running everywhere! I am surprised now if you crawl at all.
- you had 3 bottom teeth on your birthday, but we noticed your top one coming through yesterday!
- you love to point at everything
- you know where your nose and belly are
- you do "how big is Olivia, sooo big!"
- you wave hi and bye and sometimes blow kisses
- you have started macking clicking noises and kissing noises at times!
- you are saying mama quite a bit and "ma" which I think is for martini. You also know ball now!
- you like to scrunch up your nose and breathe deeply to be funny!
- some of your favorite toys right now are your plastic balls for your ball pit. You love crawling in and out of it!
- another obsession lately is any part of your Halloween costume ( a cupcake) it is made of fleece and I think you like how soft it is. You don't seem to like wearing it though, just holding it.
- you also seem to enjoy carrying a wrapped string cheese. Kind of funny but true!
- we had a photo session with amber last week and you did great. We lost your hair clip but you are cute no matter what you are wearing!
- your naps are still hit and miss but you usually have one good nap and one short one. You still go to bed around 7 pm on average and sleep until 6 am or so.
- you love your daddy so much you get sad when he leaves and you watch him from the window when he mows the lawn. You love when he waves at you!
- we love you so much baby girl and still can't believe you are ours. You are the sweetest happiest girl even while teething! How did we get so lucky to get you? Happy birthday baby.
