Little Bird has gotten so big. She is now 17 lb. 3 oz. and 28.5 inches long. That means she is still on the tall side, so much that the nurse re-measured her to make sure it was right (that is a normal 11-12 month length). Her favorite part at her doctors visit was trying to eat the paper sheets. Least favorite was getting two more shots.
She now has 5 teeth--the bottom two and now both top lateral incisors and just got the left central one too. Her poor little gums look all puffy, so I wouldn't be surprised if the rest are on the way before too long. She is chewing on everything, blankets, clothes, toys, hands, seat belts...
She has conquered rolling over and now using that to make things a challenge when it is time for diaper changes. She still loves pulling her feet up to her mouth.
Baths are still fun. We have still been using her baby tub in the kitchen sink (so much easier than hunching over the bathtub) but she has gotten so long that we won't be able to delay much longer. She tries to reach out and grab the water as it is dripping down. If she can get ahold of the washcloth, she immediately pulls it up to her mouth and starts sucking the water out of it.
Her big accomplishment of the month is that Little Bird is sitting up on her own. She becomes a weeble wobble after a little while, so we surround her with pillows to protect her head. She likes sitting up so much that sometimes she tries to sit up out of her carseat or bouncy chair.
Her favorite toy is her dinosaur. It has all a girl could want--crackling legs and spikes, rings in one hand and a rattle in the other, and best of all ribbons on the tail. She loves to play with those ribbons in her mouth. Other favorites are the seal, flat giraffe, and elephant.
She is such a cute little girl and growing up. She does look tall.
