12 Months Pic & Check Up


Due to camera/computer difficulties this is a little late coming but... We went in for Chesley's one year check-up and she's growing like a weed, (yes, that's a medical diagnosis). Her stats are below but here's what else she's been up to. She took her first steps on December 30th. We were at the Point and Percy and I were standing in the kitchen when we both noticed her standing without anything near her to hold on to. We both reached out to nudge the other one at the same time bc we didn't want to speak and draw her attention and make her fall. And sure enough she took 3 steps. She did it again later that night then periodically over the next week. Then she started to do it for real, like across a room or until she fell and decided she could just crawl faster anyway. So it took about a month but she's now walking exclusively with only the occasional crawl. She looks like Frankenstein but she's getting it, (see video). She's still talking up a storm and adding new words like shoe and baby, and she's blowing kisses. Not quite so many things are deer anymore-she learned that over Christmas at hunting camp and EVERYTHING was a deer for a while, or a duck-can you guess what's on the walls at hunting camp? She loves to 'love' everything, especially her baby doll that Pruet/Hillary gave her for her birthday and her rocking horse. Now that she's walking there is nothing off limits so my cabinets and drawers and plants and trash cans and every single leaf and piece of dirt on the floor are fair game. We have switched to whole milk but are struggling with the sippy cup. She loves to play with them and is getting better at drinking water from them on her own but still won't take milk from them. We will be saying bye-bye to the pacifier sometime this week, (was going to try tonight but she went into a melt down over taking her bottle and I decided to try it on a night when she wasn't already ticked off about something to start with!) She only takes it in her crib at night and for naps so I'm hoping that will make it a little less painless...we shall see. It's been a fast and amazing year, can't wait to see what the second year brings!!
