At 12 Months, Lydia...
- Weighs about 18 lbs 12 oz (32nd percentile) It seems like she hasn't gained much weight since her last appointment, but she's eating well and still on the growth curve, so the pediatrician isn't concerned.
- Measures about 30.75 inches long (93rd percentile!!!)
- Wears size 3 diapers and 12 - 18 month clothing
- Took her first steps on Nov. 8!!! She has been standing up unassisted for a few weeks, and finally ventured out to take a few steps in the hallway near the laundry room. She's done it a few more times since! After taking steps she is so proud of herself.
- Still does her spider-monkey crawl as her main mode of transportation.
- Has 9 teeth. She cut her first molar (bottom, left) on Nov. 7th. I think the other three are not far behind. Teething has really messed up her sleep. She's made so much progress, but she must really be in pain, because she's back to waking constantly through the night. However, she's still napping and putting herself to sleep initially, so not all is lost. I really think she'll go back to sleeping better after the other molars break through. I haven't slept in a year, so what's a few more weeks, right?
- Loves to dance! Anytime she hears music, whether from tv, a toy, or Jacob, she starts dancing! She also loves wear shoes, eat, drag purses and bags around and rock her baby dolls.
- Continues to be a little chatterbox. She says muh (more), ga-ga/ga-guh (Jacob), Mama and Mommy, Dada and Daddy, yeah, no, nigh-nigh, ba-ba (bottle), and Papa.
- Loves to point as another means of communication. Her favorite thing to do is point at food and say "muh" and nod her head for extra emphasis!
- Finally has enough hair for a teeny-tiny hair clip!
- Continues to love being around people. She waves at every stranger we pass in public! I love watching people smile when they look at her. She is a happy girl!
Here's to many more Happy Birthdays, Sweet Girl!
