12 month stats

Last week we went in for Elliot's dr well checkup. Since she had gone in twice this month for being sick, I already had a good idea that she was no longer our long and lean girl.

Elliot weighs 23 lbs (85%) 29 1/2 in long (70%) and i don't remember her head cir. she is already growing out of some of her 12 month clothes!

Elliot is still a confident crawler. She prefers to crawl instead work on walking, however she does cruise around the furniture and walk with some push toys.

Elliot has found her love of music again. She claps, bops up and down, or taps her foot when a song come on that she likes.

Elliot hates teething. Apparently she's been having a hard time at daycare this week because her devil molars are coming in. Poor baby!

Elliot is learning to use a spoon and she is very excited about it! She wants to do everything herself but sometimes she gets frustrated and will had you the spoon with a "please mommy help me" look.

Elliot likes to use the corresponding pieces for toys. For example, the toy hammer is only used with the bopping nails. However she does like to put our things in some interesting places. I found a hairspray bottle top and Chapstick in a wicker basket in our closet.

My favorite thing about this age is that Elliot is becoming more of a daddy's girl. Normally daddy is for silly times and mommy is for everything else in Elliot's eyes. Now she reaches for Tim even when she's sad! This is a HUGE relief and help for me!
