Grow Baby Grow {Paige} - 1 Year! [Hold me]

GAH! Without my permission, here we are! Paige up and turned ONE on us today, that stinker. We had her well check bright and early this morning, and I was surprised to find she's smaller than Drew! 


Stats:
Height: 28" {10%}
Weight: 18 pounds, 1 ounce {25%}
Head circumference: 44.5 cm {40%}
Clothes: 6-12 months or 9-12 months
Diaper size: 3 in disposables, 1 snap down, 2 snaps open in cloth

It's funny because I was reading Drew's 1 year post, and there is so much that is similar to Paige. 

The big change this month is Paige is walking 99% of the time. She has spent the past few weeks really mastering walking and about a week ago it all clicked together, and she's been solely walking ever since.

She's also found more sounds this month - 'da-da' was your main sound, but she's added 'ma-ma' and 'ba-ba'. She can also say 'night-night' and will say that and sign 'milk' when it's bedtime - so cute. She can also sign 'all done'.

Nursing is going well - Paige nurses when she wakes up, before and after naps, and before bedtime. She is not interested any other time. At school, she is only drinking water, in the last few weeks she started refusing her bottles, so after our Christmas break, she's only going to get water...which means I'm done pumping! Yay!

Paige loves to play - she loves to push her stroller and the wagon, she loves to knock over towers, she loves to fill up containers, she loves baby dolls, she loves to put anything in her mouth that shouldn't be there. She loves to get her siblings attention. She wants our phones all the time and gets mad if we lock the home screen - ha.

She has 6 teeth, and her 2 bottom molars are SO CLOSE to breaking through.

I would say Paige is 50/50 for sleeping through the night. If she wakes up, it's just once, and we nurse for 10-20 minutes, and she goes back down. Bedtime is between 6:00-7:30, depending on if it's a school day or not, and she typically sleeps until at least 7:30 if she's left alone.

We are so close to 1 nap - if we give her 2 naps, the first one is always about 3 hours and the second one is a cat nap of an hour or less. She's really close to being able to drop that second nap.

Paige's favorite activity is EATING. She eats everything we eat with relish. The only thing I've found she hasn't liked is pickles. Her favorites are blueberries, avocados, breakfast sausage, eggs, grapes, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and pretzels. She LOVES water.

She is still not really into books - she more likes to play with them. It's a miracle if I even can read her a few pages before she takes the book and starts turning pages.

Paige still hates the car, and food is still the best way to appease her. She loves her Vitamin C and probiotic tablets, so those help get her in her seat. I can also sing to her, and even though I have a terrible voice, that usually calms her down.

She loves water - she loves to take baths or be in the shower with us. She likes to drink the bath water too which cracks me up. If I leave the water running, she puts her whole face in.
