12 months! (several days late)

At 12 months old Reese:

Weight: According to our scale 18 pounds, but that's several pounds less than last month. We'll see at the doctor when we go this week.

Height:

Walks more and more everyday, but still prefers to crawl because it's so much quicker.

Isn't a very good eater at home, but Mrs. Liz says she eats good at day care. She would much rather have a cup of milk than food. She will try a bit of almost anything, but then spits it out.

She can say: mama, dada, Adam without the m on the end, uh oh, and her favorite word is ohhhhhhhh.

Hates to wear shoes or socks.

Goes to bed around 8 every night and sometimes sleep till 7 the next morning, but lately cries around 5 or 6 for us to come get her. Today she took at 2 hour nap which is unheard of at our house.

She hates to have her diaper or clothes changed. If you drove up to our house during a diaper change you would think we were beating her. It can be heard from outside.

Overall she had 3 cakes for her birthday. One was for the pictures we had made, one at her party, and another on her birthday. I fear that she is going to think she get to smash her hands in every cake that she sees. The third cake she finally figured out exactly what to do.

I got a little worried about her climbing out of her bed so we let the mattress down. It's a little lower than I expected it to be which makes it very difficult to lay her down when she is already asleep. I almost fell over into the bed the first time I put her down because my feet have to come off the floor to be able to reach the mattress.

This is what she does when we tell her to love her baby. So sweet!

She loves headbands. She knows that this one is in her toy box and she plays with it a lot.

She likes to crawl on anybody who will lay in the floor long enough.

She loves to go into our room and sit on these boxes that have all the cards and other keepsakes from our wedding. I got her one of her own to go in her room, but she still likes this one better.

Learned to drink from a straw. She thinks it's so fun.

Her rocking chair and princess couch are her favorite things to play with right now.

We've been playing with her fire truck and play house most afternoons.

Currently she is a momma's girl. It secretly disturbs her daddy, but I am sure his day is coming and my mere existence will embarrass her.
