Clothes & Diapers: She is wearing size 3 diapers and mostly 12 month outfits with a few exceptions.
Eating & Sleeping: She eats whatever we eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and transitioned to cows milk about 2 weeks ago. Let's just say I was not sad to move on from pumping! Ha! She drinks a cup of milk for breakfast and one before bed... the rest of the day she drinks water and rarely juice (only if she's having trouble pooping!) She sleeps from 7:30 pm to 7 am when we wake her, and takes a morning and afternoon nap - about 1.5-2 hours each.
Mood: Happy, curious, sweet, and active! Her little personality is so sweet... and mischievous!
Likes: Mommy, Daddy, Ava Kate... balls, Ava Kate's toys, play food, real food, getting tickled, music, dancing, the pool, being outside... she loves life. She's a happy girl!
Dislikes: If you take her food away. HA!
Milestones: She is a girl of few words... one word really, just "dada" but she points to whatever she wants, eats anything and everything, she blows kisses, signs thank you, waves hello and goodbye, feeds herself, chowed down on her bday cake, turns pages in a book, flips the light switch, walks if you hold her hands, dances to music, brushes her hair, loves floating and swimming
Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I love watching Ava Kate and Eve interact. Eve loves watching AK and they are starting to "play" together by rolling balls, or building (or tearing down) towers of blocks, play cooking... it's so sweet.
Practical Things Mommy Wants to Remember: I've never been so happy to pack up my pump and wash bottles as I was 2 weeks ago after pumping for the last time this go round... I was soooo over it. Please dear Lord, let my next child nurse from the tap and gain weight appropriately. Please, please, please. Making it to a year of pumping and bottle feeding after the STRUGGLE of the first two months weight gaining + me being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in the final 3 months = my proudest accomplishment... potty training at the same time is a close second. Shew.
