Dear Emily,
You are one year old, and doing so many fun things right now!
And the most exciting of it all is...
CRAWLING!!!
Six days after your birthday you saw my shoe sitting across the living room and decided you just had to have it, so you got up on all fours and slowly but surely crawled all the way over to it! Jude and I were both shocked to see you crawl so far, which made us wonder if you'd known how to do it all along... Hmmm... :) It's so much fun to watch you follow Jude all over the house. The two of you are quickly becoming the best of friends, and this mama sure does love it!
You have also started pulling up on just about everything and can even stand for a couple of seconds without any help!
At one year you weigh 23 pounds (75th %), are 30 inches tall (75th %), and are the most flexible toddler anyone has ever seen. :) Your spoken words include hi, bye-bye ("dye-dye"), daddy and mama. You still like to have your milk warmed and are a bit more picky about food than Jude was, but you are starting to perk up to more and more solid foods including yummy fresh fruit. Of course your six teeth (5 on top, 1 on bottom) help with that!
You're still a wonderful sleeper and napper and have that infectious smile, and I love that I get to stay at home and play with you and Jude all day long. (Big thanks to your daddy for that one!!!) Here's to another wonderful year with you, baby girl!
Love you like strawberries,
Mommy
