I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Our Little Janie is now 12 months old. Look at how she’s grown!! It’s funny is that this was one of the easiest quilt photos I’ve taken in a very long time. It was as if she knew it was her last one and I was able to get to to sit in the same spot as her first one.
She’s accomplished so much in her last month as a baby. Here are some highlights:
- Janie started walking!!!
- She started signing “more” and “all done” and follows commands such as “clap” and “one”.
- She’s learned how to click her tongue.
- Janie got learned some new consonants like /g/, /w/, and /sh/
- She claps along with songs now and tries to say parts of familiar songs like “Twinkle Twinkle”.
- We took her to the zoo for the first time.
- Janie had more play dates with Sophie, Sadie, and Theo including a fancy brunch.
- Janie learned how to snuggle her toys and people.
- Peek-a-boo is still lots of fun and she initiates it more often now.
- She learned how to climb stairs at Auntie Ranee’s house.
- Janie has been going to the Children’s Creativity Museum and bringing home artwork.
- She’s eating more solids.
- We started her on whole milk the week before her birthday.
- Some new foods this month include: almond butter, wheat bread, pho noodles, blueberries, beans, and oatmeal.
- Met her Great Aunt Jim from Thailand and her new friend Isla who was born couple weeks ago.
- Sleeps more consistently through the night and ranges from 9-11 hours.
- Rode on a plane and got her own seat.
Now that she has entered toddlerhood, it’s time to consider when to move to all whole milk, when to take the pacifier away, and when to start potty training. Oh goody.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl. We love you!!
