The Reynolds Rap: 2012

12 Months

I cannot believe you are a year old! Time has flown by and we can say it has been the fastest year of our life, but one of the most fun. :)

You point with you finger when someone tells you no.
You hold your hand out and start talking as if you telling us to stop what we're doing. 
This week you were completely on formula, so we almost made it a year!

You like to grit your teeth together when you smile , but you look really mean.
You started drinking out if a sippy cup , but can't hold it on your own yet.
When someone tells you "no no" you almost always reply by saying "bo bo", pointing your little finger.

You stood on your own for about 10 seconds but then realized what you were doing and sat back down.
You held your sippy cup on your own for the first time during your breakfast feeding
 We can ask you "where's Lexi?" and you'll start looking for her. 
You ate real green beans and mashed potatoes  so this would be a first at real table food!
When someone tells you no or says "Kipton, eh eh", you reply back by either saying "eheheh" or just making a gargaling scream back at us that sounds something like "aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!"
 You got your first shiner at Marmie and Papa's house under our watch. You were trying to walk behind a toy and took a turn into the kitchen a little too fast, and bumped your eye on the corner of the trash can. No fun. :(
 You ate french fries for the first time at Wendy's and could not get enough.

This week we went to beach with Grammy and Pawpaw for Will and Lori Worcesters wedding. This would be your 4th trip to the beach, and you absolutely loved it of course! (you are your mothers child)
 You drank from your sippy cup in the carseat and held it on your own.
This week we also swapped you to your new car seat that was forward facing. You were so excited!
We started supplementing your formula with whole milk this week. You love regular milk. :)

This week we could see two more bottom teeth , so now that means you have 8 total!
We went to the doctor this week for your 12 month check-up and you are in the 75 percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight.
You started walking with help and holding only one hand now for support.
 For clothing you can fit in 18 month tops but have such a itty bitty waste that you are still in 12 month bottoms, and you really should be wearing a belt with them because they usually fall off.
