She didn't know what she was supposed to do with the messy cupcake on her tray until we gave her a spoon and she realized she was supposed to EAT it!! Yum!!
After a mini bath in the sink, she dug right into her presents.
Studying Owen dump water into the spinning toy.
Owen's trying hard not to get his shirt wet.
Alaina is a climbing machine. We're really going to have to babyproof with this one! She can make it up an entire flight of stairs. She knows how to climb down as well, but tends to get bored mid-flight and wants to stand up and start playing before she gets to the bottom. Her favorite place to be is in Owen's bed especially after her bath. As we try to dry her off, she makes a bee line for Owen's room, climbs into his bed, stands up and starts jumping with a huge grin on her face. She knows she's not supposed to be jumping, and will sit down when we tell her too, but only for a second. She thinks she's hilarious.
She is cruising along easily and will walk if she is holding onto our hands. She'll stand unassisted for several seconds at a time before squatting down to crawl to what she wants. She loves going outside for wagon and cozy coupe rides and especially loves when she sees a dog walking by.
Alaina is generally a very happy little girl. She plays well by herself until she sees her BFF Mommy and then she needs to be held. She says: Momma, Dada, uh-oh, more, ball, bug (ladybug), hi and bye (waves), so-big, and her two favorite songs are the ABC's and My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean which she tries to sing when she hears Owen singing them. She is very interested in whatever Mommy and Daddy are eating and drinking and is a pro at drinking from a straw.
At her one year appointment she was 30 1/2 inches and 22lbs 1oz. She does awesome at the doctor's office and the nurse tells her that she's her cutest, most favorite patient and she is always excited when she gets to see her.
