At 12 months Morgan:
weighs 21 pounds and is 31 inches long. She isn't gaining much weight but that it to be expected since she is up and running around all the time.
is finished with baby food. She refuses to eat any of it and I don't say that I blame her. She isn't picky at all and I hope she stays that way. She eats just about everything we do. The only thing she hasn't had is peanut butter. I haven't been brave enough yet. She loves cheese, green vegetables, goldfish, strawberries, and yogurt.
hasn't had a bottle during the day for the past 2 weeks. It just kind of happened. Now to wean her from her night bottles! She still takes a bottle to go to sleep, around 9:00-9:20, then a second bottle anywhere from 12:00-2:30. Finally, a third bottle usually around 5:30-6:30. I believe this is going to be huge ordeal to get rid of. But I am hoping that she will sleep through night once she is weaned.
takes 2 naps during the day. She still plays and plays for at least 45 minutes and sometimes up to two hours. But she will usually fall asleep.
loves to be outside! She will go to the door and try to open it and then look at you like hello! Are you going to take me out or not?! Since it has been warmer we have been going outside and or taking walks in the evening. She loves it!
thinks it's so funny to run from you when you undress her to take a bath or if she can get away from you when you are changing her diaper. She'll run as fast and she can and laugh like crazy.
gives hugs sometimes and kisses when she feels like it.
has started to "love" on her babies. We tell her to give her baby lovins and she will hold it close and pat it's back. It's super sweet! If you tell her to get her baby she will go straight to it and start loving it.
still loves Abby so much! They are best friends. She likes to share her treats with her, play with her, sit on her, and pet her. She likes to look in Abby's bed first thing in the morning to see if she's in there.
is getting better with people but is still very timid. She doesn't cry as much as she use to, but she still hangs her head and doesn't want to go to them. She does not like for us to leave her and when we are at someone elses house and she realizes we have left the room will start to cry and look for us. We have only recently started taken her to the nursery at church. She cries when we leave her but stops after a couple of minutes.
can follow simple commands like getting something and bringing it to you, or putting toys in the basket. She is really starting to learn what different things are and understanding words.
can stack 2 to 3 blocks consistently and stacked 5 the other day. Super proud mommy moment lol!
is jabbering like crazy, but none of it is understandable. She says momma and dada, but that's about it. She can sign milk, more, and eat.
points to things while trying to get you to look. Also looks at things when you point to it.
walks and runs very good. Crouches down well, and just started walking backwards last week. It's the funniest thing to watch! Looks like she is trying to do the moon walk or something! Too funny!!
gives the best smile just because. She scrunches up her eyes and nose and grins from ear to ear!
opens her mouth wide in surprise/wonderment when she hears different sounds like the train, a dog barking, or a fire truck.
This little girl has truly changed our lives for the better. She is a spunky, stubborn, sweet little girl and I couldn't have asked for a better daughter. I love her more then anything in this world and can't imagine my life with out her.
