about Makenna at her first birthday. Granted I'm a couple of days early - if she learns something new, I'll be sure to add it!
*can walk (she started around 9 months)
*has started to put her bath toys back in the bath scooper one by one (and then dumps them out again)
*laughs when I tickle her on the cheek with my hair (I love baby giggles!)
*points at the pages and jabbers while "reading" books - and sometimes even makes you point on the pages too!
*when you ask her where the light is - she looks up
*LOVES the phone - and knows when you have it turned off or it doesn't work (she cries) and she also holds it up to her ear and jabbers (sometimes she gets the right end in the right place!)
*can wave bye bye (but usually doesn't do it "on command")
*will give you kisses when you ask (not all the time) and you can't ask her to give them to someone else - she comes and gives them to whomever asked!
*gives loves - especially her Elmo
*when you pretend to snore while laying on the floor, she will either come lay on you or next to you on the floor. (unless it is robert and then she cries! - male snores must scare her - beware future husband!)
*bounces her legs and shakes her head to dance
*has started to drink whole milk (I have been very fortunate, even with being pregnant to continue to nurse until Makenna turns one. We have only nursed twice a day while I was home this week and I will no longer pump when I go back to work. She seems to be doing well with the milk, so weaning it is. I have LOVED the special time with my daughter, but know it is best to give it up.)
*loves cheese - would eat it all day, I'm sure!; and is good with fruit. Veggies are an on/off thing - some days she loves them - others she throws them on the floor and spits them out. She is not a huge meat fan. She also loves her yogurt, but I don't want her to get tired of it, so I try to not give it every day.
*hates eggs
*copies the actions of others - she will scratch your leg if you were scratching it and will pat if you are patting
*sleeps between 11 and 12 hours at night with two naps during the day (between 1.5 and 2 hours each)
*she LOVES Bailey, but Bailey is scared of Makenna. Hopefully Bailey will warm up a bit - especially since there will be two of them!
*loves to eat her books (and paper)
*loves V8 fusion(mango peach) (so I sometimes don't feel TOO bad when she hasn't had a lot of veggies - or they end up on the floor because I know there are a lot in the juice and the nutritional value is the same as the baby juice if you divide the serving in half - so it can't be THAT bad! and it's not like I feed her an entire container every day - just one 4 oz. serving)
*will run if she knows she has something she is not supposed to have (yes, we've started this already!)
*has to have 3 things in her hand. It is weird.
*LOVES Elmo
*has 5 teeth - three on bottom and two on top
*hates getting in her car seat (I think she would be fine if we turned her facing forward, but I am "one of those" that may keep her backwards for a bit longer.
Their necks are so much more protected sitting backwards, but we'll see.)
*will sometimes say bye bye and night night
*loves her family and we love her too!
UPDATED:
*apparently, like most kids, she decided to make me a liar this morning, so I thought I would update the post - apparently she hates eggs while sitting in her chair; however, she loves them when they are daddy's and she eats them while on the couch!
A FEW MORE I REMEMBERED:
*knows where the cookie jar is and will go to the counter when asked if she wants a cookie!
*can say juice (or close enough!)
*will throw her paci back in the crib after nap time
*will fake laugh if you are laughing at something
