One Year Old

I cannot believe that a whole year has gone by since our little peanut entered the world with her surprise arrival. Belle has really flourished into such a sweet, little toddler. Her personality is so much fun, and she is learning more and more each day.

At one year she is wearing primarily 6-12 month size clothes. She loves to sit and "read" books. She loves all the pictures and especially books with texture. She love, loves baby dolls and pushing her stroller all over our house. There are very few toys that Belle does not like, but she would most prefer to play with remote controls, phones, light switches, and anything else she shouldn't be getting into. She is a very good eater and loves to try new things. You can tell instantly with her if she is going to like it or not by her sour face she makes. If you serve her something for dinner she doesn't want, she looks you straight in the eye and throws it on the floor. She then shakes her head "no" because she knows that is a no no and would like to point out that she did a no-no. She can say "dada", "mama" (only when she is upset or mad), "was-at" (whats that?), "was-iss" (whats this), "hi", and "yum-yum". She knows the animal noises for lion, monkey, owl, and occasionally duck - we are going exotic here folks no puppy or cow noises for my kid. We are in the process of ditching the bottles -- any tips would be SUPER helpful. Other than that she is all around very fun and interactive.

Aww it's hard to believe little Belle is a year old. I'm sure the party was fantastic.

She's already ahead of Jack in animal noises...he'll repeat any sounds if you make them, but if you ask him, he prefers to say that every animal says Moo.

We all need to get together soon...and maybe the weather will be nicer soon and we can walk again!
