We took her to the doctor for her one year check up. She had to have a shot in each leg and each arm. Her dad had to leave the room...it was too much for him to watch. He hates seeing his little girl hurt. But she did great. Cried some but was more angry that we were holding her so tight she couldn’t move! She’s now 2 ½ feet tall and weighs 24lbs. I think the growing has eased up a bit...which is great since she’s in 24 month outfits at 12 months!
On her birthday I made her a cake.
She didn't eat much at all but had a good time squishing it to pieces!
Miss Leah - or Hurricane Leah as her name has become - is all over the place. She started walking around 11 months and has just become faster and faster every day. Although the scabs on her face the week of her birthday showed her legs aren’t as fast as her mind would like them to be.
She loves to read! She’ll give you the book and then try to sit on your lap
so you can read it over and over and over again. We all tire of it but know readings a good thing.
She absolutely loves animals. Dogs, cats, horses, sheep, cows, etc. She gets so excited when she sees them and everything else is forgotten.
She also loves to push things around. I tell people it’s like having a ghost in the house because you’ll leave a room and when you come back the chairs are all moved around!
She's eating all regular food and milk now. She loves yogurt, bread, pears, squash, pasta, french fries, watermelon, broccoli...the list goes on and on. She's a little finiky though, some days she'll eat it-some days she won't. She's very much her own little person already.
It has been amazing to watch her grow this last year. I forgot how much fun it is to have a little one around. I also forgot how tiring it is...but the fun wins 99% of the days. She has such a cute personality already. She scrunches up her nose and smiles at you. She gives kisses (when she wants) and hugs. When I pick her up in the morning or after a nap she'll lay her head on my shoulder and pat my back. It brings tears to my eyes every time. And no matter how angry or upset I am at the lack of sleep or her stubborn ways...all she has to do is look at me and give me her cute little smile and I melt.
