12 Month Update



* Sophie is a walker (ish)! She has taken up to 6 steps on her own. We have been practicing for about a month now. The Thursday before her birthday she took a couple steps all by herself. She was standing up next to our ottoman, grabbed the remote, turned to face me, and took a 3 steps. The next time she decided to walk on her own she took another 3 steps and stopped got her balance and then took 2 more steps.
* Sophie loves to dance to any beat!
* Soph's new sounds of choices are "ga" and "pop". However her reply to anything we say is "ga". (We recently switched doctors and a couple weeks ago he cleaned out her ears. Ever since then she has been much more vocal. )
* When she wants something she will point to it and then point back to herself. Multiple times!
* Sophie has fully switched over to whole milk and drinks it out of a sippy cup! We are all BIG fans of the Tommy Teepee Brand.
* She is learning how to climb! Ack!
* Sophie has been practicing rolling a ball back and forth with us.
* Soph loves to take blocks out of a container and then puts them back in.
* She has got the "I don't know?" arm motions down.
* Sometimes Sophie helps me get ready in the morning! She loves playing with my makeup and jewelry.
* At Sophie's 12 month dr. apt. she weighed 22lbs and 8oz and measured 29 3/4in. Which puts her in the 75th percentile for her weight and height. Her head circumference is 47.5cm which is in the 95 percentile.
* We have started weaning her off her paci. The only time she really uses it is when she is going to sleep. Car rides are still a bit tough but she is getting the hang of how to live without it.
* If we ask her to get her toys or her milk she will go and get them.
* She loves to go outside and help water the garden with her daddy!

She is at such a fun age and entertaining us all of the time! Everyone always says that it just gets better but I don't know if it can!
