She woke up this morning and was a year older! Why do they have to do that? :) With her upcoming birthday this weekend, we still wanted to do a little something special to celebrate her big day, so we sang happy birthday while she blew out a candle on top of a pancake stack topped with whipped cream. She was giving us looks and wondering what the heck we were all doing.
Natalie opened a couple presents and spent the morning pushing this doll stroller around. She is getting closer to walking on her own but still prefers to belly crawl! It's a sight to see her speed around the room with that preferred method. She does pull her self up on her little activity center but hasn't been brave enough to take but a step or two away from it!
All in all, she's doing all of the typical things that healthy 12 month olds do! She's a smiley, happy girl that we cannot imagine life without. She takes two naps like clockwork, and we do our best not to mess with those. We stopped nursing last month (she basically quit on her own long before last month, so it became a pumping only game) and has been on formula for about 4 weeks. We are transitioning to whole milk this week. She eats just about anything and everything with a high amount of enthusiasm and enjoys sharing with Miley as well. She babbles about saying mama, dada, Mi Mi (for Miley), hi, ball, and she can wave bye bye. She adores her big brother and can smile and laugh at him all day. Her favorite toys are the ones with balls. She spends a large majority of her time stuck in a stroller (half kidding/half serious) due to all of Nico's baseball games, but she seems happy as can be to be outside around people! She makes it easy for us to still get out of the house often and keep our fun, busy lifestyle.
Happy birthday, sweet girl. Can't wait for your party this weekend!
