Carrie's Birthday #1

Carrie has officially turned 1. We had my parents over for pizza and Dan and Kim and the kids came over for cake. She loved the pizza and the cake. She got 2 little presents from us and could have cared less.

I hope I took pictures. Actually, I know for a fact that I did not, however, I hope that Adam did. Otherwise, well, she is the 2nd child, she should expect that her parents would forget to photograph her birthday! Ha!

She also had her 1 year check up.

She weighs: 18lbs 11.5 oz
Height: 29.5 inches
And a big ol noggin'

She had to receive 4 shots (MMR, Chicken pox, Hep, and 2nd does Flu) so she was extremely pissed afterwards. I mean REALLY angry. At the whole world, me included.

Physical Development:
She is walking along furniture, can stand by herself, but unwilling to take those first independent steps.

Speech:
Says "hi" but that is about it. She waves bye bye often and claps a lot.

Personality:
She is feisty at times. She screams when she has been "brushed" by someone (Especially her brother). She also cries when I tell her no. Little stinker! However, she can often play nicely by herself and loves to be around Charlie.

Sleeping:
She is now consistently going 12 hours without eating. Yeah! She goes to bed around 7:30 and sleeps til about 7:30am. Lately, after her shots, she has been waking up around midnight. I anticipate do to achy feeling or teeth. I do not nurse, but give her some medicine (sometimes) and let her fuss it back out (does not take long).

Eating:
She is quite a great eater, so far. No texture issues. Her one caveat. She MUST eat what we are eating. She HATES baby food. She wants to real thing, in small pieces. If we are having something she could not chew (like steak) I always have an avocado (her favorite) or something of the like. She is quite good at eating so far.....but I know this will change as she continues to test the water.

We love you pretty girl! You are a joy!
