 week of her first Birthday:


not feeling well, napping on Mommy
At the park, trying on Sissys helmit

climbing up on a chair- drops book off and yells "Uuh OOOH!"

Almost 1 our little sweety!!

It has been a wonderful year. And at 12 months our little Pip amazes us.

Things she is doing: She is walking around well, she even walks backwards (which is really funny)! She can throw (to her great glee) especially proud of throwing balls and blocks (ow) and loves to throw things and yell "uh oh!".
She loves to climb all things, especially up to the table to dump any thing left out.

She  really enjoys coloring- and especially loves crayons...If she finds one she will take it and carry it around for the longest time. Once she is done with it, she stow it some where for safe keeping- we are constantly finding crayons in the most random places! She is in love with her sisters, and is in seventh heaven if they let her join in their games.

12 month words: "uh oh" "unh-uh" "mama" "Dada" "a da" (what's that), "yum yum", "yeah", "eee" (see) ...I am drawing a blank at others. She has said "ball" "yellow" and book" (in varying forms of pronunciation).

12 month stats: 21lbs and 29 inches (I think she still comes in the shortest for the age of all 3)

We're so proud of our curious, quirky, spunky ONE YEAR OLD! Pictures of her Birthday "party" to come...
