The 1 year mark

Our beautiful little love has officially hit the 1 year marker and with it bringing lots of new personality traits and accomplishments. We went to the dr last week and she is weighing in at 19 1/2 lbs (2oth percentile) and she is 30 inches tall (90th percentile). Here are a few things that Whit likes to do:

* She is walking! Hurray for that. She does still scoot on her bum most of the time but more and more she has taken with walking.

* We graduated from formula and now use whole milk. Another hurray! Instead of spending $15 for 1 container of formula we now spend $3.50 for 2 gallons of milk.

* I'm trying to teach her baby sign and after about 6 months of working on "more" she has finally grasped it and will do it when she wants "more" of anything! So cute.

* Whitney loves to eat dog food and play with it. It's a constant battle everyday to keep her away from it! I really think that she knows that she shouldn't play with it either. Everytime she goes near it she is really slow to put her hand in the water and always looks back to see if we are watching. When we notice what she is doing and say "no Whit" she laughs and does it anyway, splashing water all over the kitchen! Little stinker!

* She loves to bug the dogs. She has a little scooter that she pushes around everywhere and she loves to push it into the dogs and scares them. She thinks it's hilarous. She also loves to give the dogs "good morning loves" by nuzzling her face into them and squeezing their many fat rolls.

*She likes to read books, but on her terms. She has to be holding the book and she will turn the pages when she is ready.

* She likes to open up all the cupboards and pull out anything within her grasp.

* She loves to play in the dishwasher.

* She has a very dominate personality and doesn't like to share. She will throw MAJOR temper tantrums when we take something away from her.

* What she is saying: more, mama, dadda, barks like a dog, moo, and has the HIGHEST pitch scream you will ever hear. --No exaggeration!
