1. Claire is one year old. Crazy how time flies.
2. She weighs 18 lbs 9 ounces and is in the 10th percentile for weight. According to her doctor, we need to feed her more fatty foods. I just need to figure out how to do that while still teaching her healthy eating habits...hmm. :)
3. She is 28 1/2 inches long and in the 45th percentile. A whole inch in 3 months, Go Claire! :)
4. Claire walks everywhere now. She's still a little clumsy and falls a lot which causes a lot of bruises, but she prefers walking to crawling.
5. She has gotten more shy and clingy than she used to be. We try and encourage her to smile and interact with others but it also feels so good when she turns her head into our chest or hugs us a little tighter when strangers are around. :)
6. If in a good mood she will clap, give high fives, give kisses or dance if there is music.
7. She loves the Backyardigans. It's a little kid show with lots of songs and music. It's the only show she'll actually watch and not get bored of quickly and it came in handy on our trip to Colorado. We put it on for her in the car and she was content to sit and just watch it for a good majority of the drive. :)
8. She loves being outside and going on walks. If you put her down to walk herself though she easily gets distracted by rocks and sticks and ants and will try to pick up as much of them as she can.
9. She goes through stages of sleeping well and then not so well... We're trying to break the habit of her sleeping in our bed. :) She's also in the process of going from two naps a day to just one, and the time inbetween her first nap and bedtime is still pretty big so it makes for some fussy evenings sometimes.
10. She's eating almost everything now and we've had no major allergic reactions. She doesn't like eggs or peaches but she loves most everything else. Especially ice cream and anything else with sugar. She already has a sweet tooth like her parents. :)
Such a little sweetheart!!!! oh yes, the ever battle of sleeping...my almost 3 year old still prefers to sleep in her parents bed, break it early if you can! haha!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember that nap transition. It's a tough one. DJ did it just before Andrew was born, so I was dealing with that and being nine months pregnant at the same time. You could try giving her avacados, nuts (if she can have those yet), and get her to drink lots of whole milk. That helped a lot with DJ, he jumped up from the 10th percentile at his 12 month appointment to 20th at his 15 month.
