Date: April 13, 2016
Weight: 14lbs (3/14) to 15lbs (3/21) to 17lbs 7oz (4/14) -- She had some sickness that caused weight loss and set her back a little, but we were so surprised she finished the year at 17lbs!! No more weight checks for this gal.
Length: Supposedly 31 inches but that was an inaccurate measurement by probably 4 inches.. ha!
Clothing Size:
She lost some weight and then had a big growth spurt. I really had to purge her closet for one the first times since she was born... two boxes went to storage and all her 9 month stuff is hanging up! I'm so excited for all these cute summer dresses! Rocking some 6-9 month and some 9 month jammies. Also jumped up to size 3 disposable diapers!
Sleeping Patterns:
She had some rough nights while she was growing and also getting her first toofer, but overall she's a good sleeper. Still going to bed between 6:30 and 7 and usually gets up once in the night and sleeps in until 7..7:30..8.. depending on the day. She rocks at naps - 2/day! One around 9 or 9:30 and one around 1 or 2. It's FABULOUS. She is a little stinker sometimes and will stand up and throw everything out of her crib and then laugh when we walk in and scurry to the other side of the crib, but she goes to sleep all on her own!
Eating Patterns:
Still nursing quite a bit and eating anything and everything! She LOVES bananas and pork still. She really doesn't have much that she doesn't like. She did get a taste of PB this month and had no reaction which is good because I would have to return her. ;) She eats 3 meals/day and also a snack sometime during the day. She's eating off a plate now and trying to use her silverware. We don't really feed her much anymore - she's pretty self-sufficient. ;)
Likes:
She is SO attached to her monkey - they are inseparable. She has fallen in love with books and will crawl to one, pick it up, and grunt at you until you read it to her. She could also just sit by herself forever looking at books. She absolutely loves climbing - on things, in things.. she's my little brave one! I NEVER would have let Trice do any of that without being a centimeter behind him - so it's really neat to see how she's figured out how to get down (and fall) gracefully while I'm across the room secretly having a panic attack.. just kidding. She could climb in and out of chairs with her stuffed animals all day. One thing she really loves to do is when Trice actually takes a nap and she wakes up before him, we sit for a good 20 minutes trying on ALL the shoes in her closet. If I stop she grunts at me! She loves to be ornery in her crib -- scrambling to the other side when we come to lay her back down or throwing out her binkie and monkey.. silly girl! She loves being outside and trying to climb up the slide. Also a huge fan of swinging. Mostly she just loves life!
Dislikes:
She gets so mad when someone eats something and doesn't offer her any or if we eat something that she doesn't have on her tray or it's just cut differently.

Trice's Thoughts:
"I don't really like babies, but one-year-olds are cool."
Trice suddenly fell in love with Eliana a few days before she turned one (don't get too excited - he's over it already!) But really, they are starting to interact so much. Trice likes to read to her and gets frustrated when she doesn't listen. She's started "wrestling" him and as long as he's in a good mood it's pretty comical. She loves to hide under blankets with him and watch for papa!

Trying out big brother's shoes!
Watching for papa - and he actually did NOT tackle her a few seconds later.. WIN!
