This Just In

Today was Addison's 12 month check-up. I wanted to make sure to record her stats for our family record.

12 month stats:

Weight: 23 lbs (90%)
Height: 29.75 inches (90%)
Head: 18.5 inches (96%)

Everything was fairly consistent with her previous measurements except for height. She was on the shorter side but now seems to have hit a growth spurt and shot to the top of the range for her age. Her head is still big but her body seems to be catching up to it now.

And of course today was a momentous day in our lives. She took her FIRST STEPS this morning all by herself! Just like I thought she would, she did it on her own time and by herself. I was sitting at the computer desk watching her and she let go of the door and walked 4 steps all alone. What is surprising is that she could have easily kept hold of the door and still gotten to her destination but she is finally turning into a risk taker and decided to go for it! Since Daddy was at work, I tried haphazardly to get her first steps on camera. It worked for the most part but unfortunately the file is too large to post it here. :( But we've practiced LOTS since then she has done great!

Your 1 year old weights 1 pound less than my 2 and half year old. :) Crazy.
