Twelve months

Weight: 19 lbs, 12 oz

You scoot like crazy! Crawling is so 2013. You now have mastered all flooring - tile, carpet, wood. You rock it all

You "talk" super cute. You babble ever so quietly. It's so fun.

You are a big eater. Your favorite teething has been carrots, cold apples, frozen yogurt pop. 

You love looking at books. You have a hard time when I read it because you want to hold it and usually turn pages faster than I can read 

You keep getting this dry spot on your right cheek. It's been there a while but man I hate it when it get super dry. We use lots of lotion, nrosporin and anything we can but it still comes back

You wear 12 month clothes but I bet in the next month or so we will head to 18 months. 

You only drink two bottles a day. Morning and right before bed. You have mastered the drinking straw sippy cup. We usually give you lots of water during the day. 

You are finally fighting back if Sydney takes one of your toys. 

You enjoy watching Daniel tiger with Sydney. 

You still nap twice a eat. You go to bed between 745-8, although you love to wiggle around for half an hour before actually falling sleep. 

You can stand by yourself as long as you hold on to something

You say "mama" " dada" and "idbey" which I think means Sydney

You started "fighting" back when Sydney takes your toys. This is new since you are super chill. You are starting to stand up for yourself more

You clap, wave, jump and talk while we sing songs

You love to turn pages and love baby bug books

You have been super cranky which I think means teething. You still only have two teeth but I'm sure more will come soon

Oh sweet London, this first year was super long but it was so worth it. I look at you and could not imagine life without you. Your big brown ryes, your infectious smile. I see why God sent you so soon- he knew we needed to balancing factor and you bring it. I see you bringing smiles to everyone you see. You have this ability to go to other people and make them feel so special. You bring the biggest joy to your sister. You gave taught us all to be more flexible and enjoy the small things. You came to humble me and keep me focused on what is most important. I love you. I'm so grateful for you. You are my sweet calm baby.
