Wow, I have been finding it especially hard to believe that an entire year has passed since we first met our sweet little Ansley, becoming a family of 4 and giving Caedmon a best friend. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with some family and a few friends. I am thrilled with how the party turned out: The decorations were just as I envisioned, the food was yummy, and I think everyone had a good time. Here are a few pictures...I posted more on facebook.
She still seems so "baby", but I'm savoring it. I also know that she's growing up before our very eyes. At 12 (!) months, she:
sleeps from about 7:30 pm until 6 am, nurses, and then goes back to sleep until 8ish.
usually takes 2 naps: about an hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
eats pretty much what we eat: her latest favorites are french toast, watermelon, and toast with cream cheese sandwich.
very much enjoyed her first taste of sweets at her party.
has 6 teeth--4 top and 2 bottom (but I think is cutting some molars).
still nurses 2-3 times a day, but no set schedule other than the early morning time.
started on cows milk this morning and seemed to like it. We don't give her juice yet but I'm sure she's tasted/shared Caedmon's numerous times.
has pretty much always prefered straw cups instead of sippy cups.
crawls all over the place.
pulls up in her crib.
has not started cruising.
is very content.
isn't quite as attached as she was, but still usually prefers mommy.
still thinks Caedmon is the best friend ever. She laughs at him and loves to be around him (often crawling into his room while he's napping).
has been doing room time pretty successfully for a couple weeks now.
is comforted by a paci and her bunny at sleepy times, but can sleep fine without them.
wears 12 month clothes. (Her 1 year well child check isn't for another couple weeks, so I don't know her current "stats".)
claps, waves, and usually puts her hands together to pray.
loves to play peek-a-boo by putting stuff over her face.
loves to cuddle and is quite content to just sit with mommy or daddy.
Happy Birthday, Ansley!!
