one year old: what else can you tell me?
- her hair is still very blond (but occasionally looks a bit reddish), and not too long
- her eyes are still crazy-blue (the most common outburst from a stranger is related to her eyes), but they’re a bit grayer (like mine) than they were a few months ago.
- she (still) only has 6 teeth. (4 on top and 2 on the bottom)
- at her one-year checkup she was 26.5 inches long and weighed 23 pounds. that’s a bit over 50th percentile for both
- she “can” eat anything except peanuts, tomatoes (too allergic while i was breastfeeding), and chocolate (i just don’t trust she won’t be allergic like i was so i’m waiting for the right “moment” to introduce it)
- she likes meat and starches, not so much with most veggies (especially cauliflower).
- her favorite shows are imagination movers, handy manny, little einsteins, sesame street (especially “elmo’s world”), and the mickey mouse club. the wiggles are falling out of favor, as has jojo’s circus.
- her favorite toys are anything electronic with a button she can push that lights up and/or makes noise.
- she loves this small stuffed penguin we bought at the zoo. it’s one of the few plush toys she hugs and kisses (by smashing it against her face while smiling and laughing ;)
- her favorite books are ones with a few pictures she can point to and “name”.
- she does not tolerate sitting for a story and prefers to read at her own pace (open book, flip book upside down, close book).
pictures?
