Way back on November 10 was Elaina's one year well baby doctor visit. She turned one on November 4th. So I'm a little behind getting the stats up on the blog. Life is busy in our household...deal with it. *giggle*
Elaina's One Year Stats
Height ~ 30 Inches tall (80%)
Weight ~ 21 pounds 3 ounces (55%)
Head ~ 18 1/4 inches (80%)
She is growing great - she is tall and lean. I chose the photo at left for this post because she received five shots in her visit and this is the face she made as the nurse started to give her said shots. Nope she was not happy at all. Her lower lip curled up and then the tears and sobs started. Poor baby girl! (However, in this photo she was a bit afraid of the leaves not shots...this photo is one of the photos from her one year photo session.)
Elaina is babbling away. She says mama and dada and is playing with sounds to practice speaking. She is very much a pacifier baby so during the day it is taking the pacifier away to allow her to use those words of hers.
Elaina is feeding herself with fingers and she'll play with a spoon while eating. We're excited to start new foods like strawberries and milk. She is also drinking for a sippy cup at meals; however, this mom is still hesitant to give up her bottles entirely. I enjoy feeding her at night a bit too much. It's our time.
She recognizes the names of familiar people and objects. We're still working on body parts.
She is cruising along the couch and can stand independently but she hasn't ventured to take those first steps on her own yet.
Elaina is very much a mommies girl. But she does warm up to others well.
Currently Elaina loves playing with Little People. She loves to put the people into the cars and into the barn and zoo. She also enjoys stacking blocks. She has very good hand eye corridination and is precise with her hands and fingers. She also LOVES books just as Zach did at this age. She will sit and page through books for over 15 minutes at a time. She loves books. (So does her mom!)
Her next well baby visit isn't until she is 18 months old so we'll see how much she grows and changes between now and May.
That's all for now! Thanks for reading folks!
