12 Months

Sienna,
One year!! How can one year go so fast, yet it seems like you have been with us forever? Seems like I was just waddling around trying to imagine what you would look like and how our lives would change. It truly has been the best year of our lives as everything seems more fun to have you experience it with us. But enough sap, now time to brag!

You've developed a lot of new skills this month. You are now signing more, water, and dog consistently. We are working on help, cat, and all done which you do sometimes. It's so sweet to see you do it and communicate back to us! I love it. You have added Bita and Hi to your vocabulary. I haven't heard Bita, but she has. You say Hi!! and wave to anyone that walks by when you are in the mood.

You were very well behaved for pictures this month.


You've gained 1 more tooth on the bottom and have 3 more trying to break through. The Dr. thought by the end of the month you will have 8 total. Lots of teeth in a little time! We were correct in our measurements and you haven't grown much since 9 months. Here's the official stats:

Height: 28.3 inches (33%)
Weight: 20 lbs 1 oz (25%)
Head: 18.4 inches (90%)

So in summary you are little with a big head! hehe. No wonder those shirts are hard to put on. You've definitely dropped in percentages and the Dr. said your weight will probably drop more once you start walking. We shall see! You are a very good eater so that will definitely help. Your favorites are cheese, peaches, watermelon, and baked beans. As for walking you haven't shown a ton of interest yet. You'll stand on your own for a few seconds but you'd much rather crawl to something than try and take steps.

We spent your big day with a family trip to the zoo and hosting your Sparkle party with the Eid's and Moehring's. A very fun day!
