Katelyn is one year old now! I can not believe my Little monkey face is already a year!
Her birthday party was awesome. We had it at Huntington Central Park. I will blog about that more later.
Her doctor's visit went very well and she is on track with everything. They still want us to go to an oral surgeon to got her mucocele checked out. She also had an ear infection, bit since her runny nose had been getting better, we thought that it was on the mend so we opted to hold off on antibiotics.
She got four shots that day - poor thing!
Her height is 28.5 inches and her weight is 20.7 lbs

SHe has been talking up a storm. Sometimes she will go on and on chattering away. She can say "more" and "ball" with meaning, and she says mamamama and dadadada all of the time, but we're not sure if she's using them with meaning yet. Oh wow is still a favorite, too.
Just in the past week or so (she is now 12 1/2 months) she has really started to to stand on her own for short periods without holding on to anything. We're trying to get that first step but she's not quite there yet!
She loves to eat and is my little foodie. It amazes me how much she will put away sometimes. She will try almost anything. Oddly enough - not a big fan of bananas - but seems to enjoy most other foods. She also made the switch to cows milk with no fuss - no mixing or anything -and she drinks it just fine from a sippy cup. She still nirses with me in the evenings and in the morning before I go to work.
He night time ritual is "Guess How Much I Love You" followed by twinkle twinkle and'/or the Katelyn song: "Katelyn, Katelyn I love you, my baby girl so smart and cute. I love your laugh I love your smile, I love to watch you play for awhile. Katelyn Katelyn smart and sweet, you make our family happy and complete." THen she goes to bed and falls asleep on her own. She is sleeping straight through until about 5:30 ish. I'm quite happy with her progress although I;d love to push that an extra 30 minutes. SHe goes down around 8:30 - 9:00 and starts her day around 9:00 the next morning. She will occasionally wake up before 5:30 but if she doesn't go back to sleep on her own, a quick visit with a "mommy loves you and we;re close by" usually suffices (her crying will intensify for a few moments and then she will settle back to sleep.
All in all she is quite the happy girl. SHe puts up with rough playing from Geo and loves to be around people. SHe can play happily by herself for time periods, but she LOVES when other people play with her. I love my Katie!
