12 Month Check-up

Our little girl is now considered a toddler and while part of me is sad, I do love watching her grow and learn everyday.  At her 12 month appointment, she weighed in at 18 lbs 9 oz (25th Percentile) and 28 inches long (15th Percentile).  She's a tiny little girl but the pediatrician assured me she was very healthy.

I haven't been very good at posting Alyssa's accomplishments but here's what she's up to these days.  Alyssa learned to walk at 10 months and crawl at 11 months but still only crawls when she absolutely has to.  She LOVES to give kisses and has just learned how to blow kisses.  She waves as soon as she hears the word "bye" and points at everything.  Books are one of her favorite things right now, if she see's one she'll bring it to you and try to sit in your lap.  She has learned the sign for more but clearly doesn't understand what it means.  She's up to five words (Dada, Mama, Doggie, Kitty and Thank You).  She knows where her belly button is but prefers to show me mine.  It amazes me how quick she's growing up!!
