Abby is ONE!!

Abby is ONE! Here's what she's up to:
Height: 29 inches (but they didn't try to stretch her) = 50%

Weight: 21 lb, 12 oz (Wii said 22 lb, 3 oz) = 65%

Head: 47.5 cm = 98% Both babies have huge heads. Hooray for C-sections!!

Diaper: 4's
Eating: WHOLE MILK!!! With Grant out of diapers and Abby off of formula, we effectively got a raise (roughly $150/month!).

Clothing: 12 -18 months. The 12 month old PJs look pretty ridiculous. I also just discovered that she can wear 2T leggings cuffed up, which will save me some money next year. And she can wear 2T-3T tops as tunics.

Sleeping: She would still sleep 12-13 hours each night if we let her. 2 naps are standard, but she could do just fine with just one.

Talking: Mama, Dada, Bubba, Lola, Baba (she asks for it when you give her a sippy - she'll be on the bottle a little while longer). I think I heard "more" over the weekend. Will she be like her brother and say "more" before she signs it?!

Teeth: By the end of the week, she'll have 8. We can see 4 poking through. Teething over the past few weeks has meant extra cuddles. We'll focus on the cuddles and not the pathetic crying fits.

Notice the ring in her hand in the photo on the left? See below about Guaranteed Crying.
Milestones: She is now walking between toys instead of crawling. She can take 8-10 steps consistently. She waves goodbye, gives kisses, and mimics all sorts of noises/movements. Clipping her nails is a huge challenge - she doesn't like to sit still that long. About 90% of the time she flips over on her changing table - so we spank her. Big Gaga says she used to poke her kids with a diaper pin, so I figure spanking is nicer!

This week we'll also be turning her around in the carseat!

Guaranteed Smiles: She's still a mama's girl - reaches for me all the time. She loves to watch her brother hit things or play with cars. She loves to watch Lola play fetch.

Guaranteed Crying: When Grant steals her toys, pushes her, or tries to sit on her. Or if you DARE take her toy away to do something crazy (like dress her or put her to bed). She has quite a grip and wants to ALWAYS have something in her hand, so she sometimes goes to bed with a maraca.
And here are Grant's stats from his one year post.
