1 Year Check-Up

Savannah had her 1 year check-up last week.  She is a tiny little thing, and still holds the title of my smallest kid.  Here are her stats:

• weight: 18 pounds (25%)
• height: 30.25 inches (85%)
• head: 18 inches (75%)

She is long and lean, like her sister, but about a pound and a half smaller in weight that Audrey was at the same age.  Savannah is doing great developmentally.  She has taken several steps, with probably 8 at the most.  The girl just doesn't want to walk!  I am pretty sure she could physically do it, she just won't.  She will take several steps to me and we all cheer, and she gets so excited.  Then if I try to stand her up to do it again, she immediately drops to the floor on her stomach as if saying, "no way, Mom, not again!".  Haha! We are happy to let her take time in this department, but I do look forward to the day when going outside to play is easier, and mama doesn't have to carry her around so much. (my neck and back are pretty shot at this point).  

We are also having a struggle to stop bottles.  My other two were done by one, and it was not a big deal at all.  This little lady just isn't into the cup.  I stopped bottles for a few days and solely gave milk in a cup, thinking she would get used to it, but instead she went on strike!  She basically drank nothing, and barely peed.  We can't have that, so back to bottles we go.  I'm going to give her more time, and just not worry about it, but this is definitely something new for us.

Here is more info about our sweet one year old!

• size 4 diapers
• size 12 month clothes
• 2-3 bottles a day
• 3 solid meals a day
• 2 naps a day and maybe a third if she had to be woken up to get big kids at school
• says mama, dada, bye bye (kind of)
• great eater!
• crazy lady- my most wiggliest, destructive child to date (pictures to come in another post)
• cuddle bug- my most cuddly baby before going to bed

Here are her monthly pictures.  Wow, what a year!

          

Savannah Kate, you sure are a special little lady who brings so much light into our lives.  What a blessing of a year to have with you!

I think she is glad monthly pictures are done.  OVER IT! Haha!
