12 Months!

Adelaide turned one on Wednesday!

Adelaide, here is what you have been up to lately…

• You weigh about 18.5 lbs, which is about how much Aedan weighed at 5 months! Ha! I’m not sure how tall you are since we don’t have your well-check until next week. I’ll have to update then.
• You wear 12m clothes and size 3 diapers. You don’t have real shoes yet, but you are a size 2.5/3 in those.
• You sleep from 7:30pm-7:30am every night and you usually take a 1.5 hour morning nap and a 2.5 hour afternoon nap.
• We just switched you to milk on Tuesday. I warmed it up, just like we used to warm up your formula and you took it without a blink. Now we just need to work on you taking it colder!
• You love the Ella’s kitchen baby food pouches in every flavor we have tried. You also like applesauce pouches. Other than that, we just give you whatever we are eating. You do okay eating, but as soon as you are done, you start throwing food off your tray, one item at a time, until it is empty. Then you start fussing and signing “all done”. Hiro is enjoying the extra snacks 3 times a day!
• You know how to clap and wave, although you tend to wave with both hands, which is pretty cute.
• You LOVE to climb. If you think it is climbable, you will try it. Your favorite is Aedan’s chair (good thing you got one for your birthday!), any riding toy, stairs and pretty much anything else you can find.
• You love to be held by daddy (and he almost always holds you if you want…spoiled already!).
• You love to get right in the middle of anything Aedan is playing with. I left both of you in the playroom one morning for a few minutes. You both started off playing at opposite sides of the room, but by the time I came back, you were pretty much sitting on him. Obviously he loves this. Ha!
• You like to swing, but prefer to climb and go down the slide (with help).
• You like to dump out bins of toys and then clean them back up again.
• You love to look at books or be read to.

Adelaide, you are so special to us and we love you so much! I still can’t believe you are one and I know this next year is going to go by even faster! Love, mommy.
