Here we are! We made it! We kept a child alive for an entire year! Marjorie just becomes more and more fun. Here are the details for this past month.
Marjorie:
-cruising around furniture all day long. Still prefers to crawl every where, but will occasionally let us hold her up to walk around.
-Personality just gets bigger and bigger. She is definitely our social girl. She loves going out and interacting with everyone she sees. She will sit there and stare you down with a big ole smile and flirty eyes until you acknowledge her at which point she'll pull the shy girl act to pull you in further.
-We finally sleep trained her. I know last month I wrote I hoped it would last, but it only lasted that one night and she went back to waking every 2 hours. I had a break down because I couldn't handle going that long with that much interrupted sleep. So we finally bought a pack n play. M takes her naps and sleep in her crib from 7-10pm. At 10pm/whenever we go to sleep, we move her out front into the pack n play and we all sleep much better. Hooray!
-loves her books as usual. She now is big enough to walk around in her walker, so she'll walk over to the bookcase, and sit in her walker while pulling down books and looking at them on her little tray. Very cute.
-Likes playing with her stacking cups best as well as opening all plastic Easter eggs and waiting for mom to re-close them. We just gave her a play phone tonight for her birthday and she carried it around with her for 20+ minutes.
-Wearing 9 month clothes in Carter's (runs big for our girl) and wearing 12 month clothes in other brands.
-Just broke one tooth on the top right, but it looks like the middle top and the one on the left are all right about there
-Has already become a picky eater. Generally won't eat anything green and doesn't like eggs any more. We've noticed that if we only put a few bites on her tray at a time, she's more likely to actually eat everything rather than just eating a couple bites and then playing with the rest
-Still nursing but starting tomorrow, I'm going to start dropping a nursing session each week in exchange for whole milk. We'll see how she does. She doesn't seem as attached to nursing except at night. I think the hardest sessions to drop will be the 10pm and 5am.
-Just today started trying to put things like hats and shirts on her head! So cool! And just started putting things into buckets and trying to drag them around.
Mom:
-I'm just going to write a separate post about the past year and what my experience has been like. This month has been great ever since we did the sleep training. I have been a happy momma.
And here is the cutest one year old I ever did birth.
