This little Miss is growing up so fast!  She's still pretty small, but growing and learning so much each day.  She did not like the Dr. or nurses at all when we were at her appointment.  She didn't want them to touch her or do anything.  She cried the whole time the Dr. looked at her.  When she finally calmed down and got down to look at some books, she fell and hit her lip right before the nurse came in to give her shots.  :(  Poor baby!  Despite all that, the Dr. said she looks really good.  I told him that she doesn't like milk, won't drink any kind of it, and he wasn't too concerned.  He said maybe she will become tolerable to it later, just keep trying, and give her yogurt and cheeses.  She loves to eat, and will eat pretty much anything, so it's surprising that she doesn't like it.  But she did gain about 2 lbs from her 12 month appointment, so she is growing!

Some people eat to live, but I think this girl lives to eat.  She is always wanting something.  She's not too picky either.  I can give her pretty much anything and she is content.  She likes to have forks while she is eating, and does a pretty good job of getting food on it and then putting it in her mouth as well.  We haven't tried much with the spoon by herself, but she does like to grab it when I am feeding her yogurt and do it herself.  If she sees anyone eating something, she assumes that she should eat as well.  Haha.  She will eat dinner, and then if Eric is working later, when he gets home she will beg him for his food when he is eating.  

She has 4 teeth on top, 4 on bottom and one molar up top.  She never really complains when she is teething, so it's always a surprise when I see a new tooth that has popped up!  She is still sweet and will give kisses, and wants to be with Mom all of the time.  If I am on the floor, she has to be on top of me, or at least have some part of her touching me.  She can blow kisses, give high five, clap, and show where her nose is.  She always tries to poke me in the eyes as well!  She likes to copy whatever Camden is doing, so she will grab toys and pretend she is shooting a gun, just like him!  She even makes the noise!  She also will throw balls a little, but not really into that.  She just wants to play with whatever Camden has, which is always a problem, cause he doesn't want to share.  So we have a lot of fighting, crying and hitting.  It has already started...yippee!  

She loves her blanket.  Still likes to suck on it and just take it everywhere with her.  She doesn't care too much about stuffed animals or dolls, but sometimes she will carry them around for a little bit.  She always has hugs and kisses for them though.  She loves to be outside, swing at the park, and enjoys the pool most of the time.  She figured out how to go up the stairs right at 15 months.  She never would go up them before, but one day she just went right up!  She doesn't know how to go down them yet.  

She is a great sleeper.  Goes down usually around 8pm and will sleep until about 8am.  Sometimes more, sometimes less.  But generally that's her schedule.  She also takes a good 2 hour nap in the after noon.  She doesn't care too much for shows or movies, but she does like the Mickey Mouse Club when they do their songs at the beginning and end of the show.  She likes to dance, and when she hears music will start.  She loves bath time, getting tickled, and just being able to roam and get into whatever she wants!  She has a little temper, will throw herself down on the floor and cry, but for the most part she is pretty even tempered.  Don't get me wrong, she cries, but it's mostly because of her brother.  She is a sweetheart and we love her so much.  We are so thankful that she is a part of our family!
