Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

Well, this past Monday, my little baby turned one year old. Hard to believe this time last year we were just freshly home from the hospital! She had a great birthday party last Saturday and we were so blessed to have so many family and friends here for the occasion! She got so many new clothes and toys, it's nice to finally have more girl toys around the house, although she still plays with Timothy's cars a lot.

I had her one year check up on Tuesday and she came in at 20 pounds, 9 ounces, 31.25 inches tall which puts her in the 45th percentile for weight and the 97th for height. Basically, she's tall and skinny...much like her brother! She's walking much better now, she can make it the whole way across the room, but she's still a little unsteady. I tried giving her whole milk yesterday and she drank it, but I don't think she liked it very much...this weaning thing may be harder than I thought...I didn't have to worry about it with Timothy, but Charlotte is a different story! She eats great though, so far her favorites are either cheese or jelly sandwiches, quesadillas, yogurt, mandarin oranges, and of course, cookies. She didn't seem to like her birthday cake too much, but I don't think she really likes being messy. Her new favorite word sounds something like, "this" and she's started saying some form of "thank you" when I give her snacks or toys. She's not too consistent on "mama" or "dada" and she's stopped saying "uh oh" but hopefully that will all pick up more once she masters walking!

Anyway, here are the pictures from the party, they're not great and I didn't get very many, but I was a little distracted, and I'll post her first year of chair pictures next!
