ava is in the 85%ish percentile for both height and weight. somewhere around 22 lbs and i can't remember how many inches...we JUST had her one year apt last week but i have misplaced the paper where they write down height and weight. bad mom. she's wearing size 18M clothes and size 4 diapers.
she's eating mostly table foods now, and having about 4-5 1/2 formula/1/2 whole milk bottles a day. she eats breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a couple of snacks. some favorites are spaghettios, blueberries, citrus, puffs snacks, yogurt, cheese, and hummus. she will eat most anything you give her, but she recently has started hating her high chair, so we try to get in and out pretty quick. she LOVES water--seriously, anytime you give her water she chugs it. we haven't given her any juice or anything like that yet. we will wait quite a bit longer before she gets any of that type of stuff. (i had a few people ask me if she got cake on her birthday--nope! she will have some at her birthday party, and she had a lick of icing at her 1 year photo shoot, but other than that, no sweets for this girl other than the occasional arrowroot cookie. mean momma!)
ava is crawling, cruising, and walking with a walker or pushing a chair around. she is just starting to stand without assistance, but i still think we have a little ways to go before she's doing a whole lot of that. we are in no rush to have a walker. :)
she can wave, clap, dance, play peekaboo, and throw fits with the best of them. we are just now starting to let her watch a little tv before school in the mornings, and she loves the babys first channel. she likes to dance along with the songs. she's very interested in everything in the cabinets, specifically taking it all out and throwing it on the floor, and she hasn't met a door yet that she hasn't wanted to open or close. she LOVES climbing into the fridge and looking around.
i would say she's still quite the mommas girl, especially when she's grumpy or tired, but she lights up for daddy when he's around. she also does better for him with bedtime--with me, she always puts up a huge fight.
speaking of bedtime, aside from a few off nights here in the last few days, she's been sleeping 7pm-7am with no wake ups. she has spoiled us, so these past few nights when shots/teething/fever/cough was happening, oliver and i didn't know what to do with ourselves! our poor baby was waking up every two hours. i am hoping the worst is past us though, and that our good sleeper is back to stay.
ava loves to be tickled, sing the ABCs, to play with laundry (specifically when i am trying to fold it-she likes to UNfold it), and likes to swing. she hates her high chair, the shower head (this is a recent fear), getting her diaper changed, and momma walking away and leaving her somewhere.
i cannot BELIEVE that we have a one year old. this year seriously went by so fast. to all my friends with little babies--cherish every moment. it FLIES by.
happiest of birthdays to my sweet firstborn. we love you so so much!
