12 Month Update

Kaylea went to the doctor on Monday for her 12 month appointment.

Here are some things we want to remember about our little monster at 12 months old -

• On her birthday, she climbed the steps for the first time. It was also her first time trying.
• She says several words including duck, quack, cup, cat, doodie (aka doodle), vroom vroom, and daddy. She is starting to say mommy more, but not often. I don't think she knows that is my name.
• She is walking everywhere - she definitely prefers it over crawling.
• She still mostly eats baby food, but she is starting to like some table food. I think it is because she still only has 2 teeth. She eats mac & cheese, eggs (with ketchup), chicken, grilled cheese, and broccoli. Favorite snacks include gold fish and graham crackers.
• She is 100% attached to her blanket.
• She loves ducks!
• She love Mickey Mouse Playhouse, including the Hot Dog Song. She also likes Handy Manny and Hannah Montana - Daddy sings some Hannah songs to her while in the bathtub.
• She has her first passport stamp - Turks & Caicos.
• I sing her to sleep with songs from musicals - Oklahoma is our latest release.
• She still takes 2 naps and has recently developed a habit of waking up in the middle of the night.
• She kisses everything - characters in a book, all of her toys, mommy & daddy, and herself in a mirror.
• She loves the Doodle & the cat.
• She shows no fear!
• She play independently - her favorite toys include her Dora Kitchen and kitchen set.

I posted a few images from her photo shoot below, but they are small. I will update them when I get the CD. You can also view all of her pictures at http://www.courtneyparisphotography.com/.
