An Update on Peyton at 1 Year!!!

Well, Peyton is one now & is doing so many big girl things besides looking so big! So here are a few quick things about our girl:

• 31.1 inches (97%) - not really shocking
• 21.8 pounds (63%)
• Head: 18.2 inches (81%)

Things I Like to Do:

• Talk, Talk, Talk (especially at home) - words I say: dad, WOW (my favorite), moo (but I say boo), quack (whack), yeah, no & no-no (there is a distinction to her), what's that?, dog, bye bye, more, momma (on accident sometimes); I also like to repeat all sorts of things or just make up words...I am trying to say giraffe because of a video I watch & when I don't know how to say something I usually say wow or dog instead:)
• I am way more interested in solving problems & talking than walking, so I'm taking my time. I walk all over the house with my walker and around all the furniture. I really like to push the dining chairs around the room. I took four steps on my own last weekend, but just get bashful when I try to walk--so, I'll keep crawling for now.
• I love cleaning up my toys now (mom likes this) by putting them in the basket, bin, or my animals in the ark
• I enjoy my stacking rings, but I get frustrated when there is one missing because the other one won't go down all the way.
• I like to show love to my toys & dolls by holding them against my shoulder and putting my head down on them
• I like to point at everything
• I love to do the motions to different songs like "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"
  
• She is wearing 12-18 month clothes (they look so much bigger than the 6-9 month stuff)
• She loves to look at what you ask her about like "Do you want to go to bed?" and she will look at or go to her bed. She does this with outside, baby doll, her walker, her kitchen toys, and some other things--it is fun to watch her learning about new things
• I still love to read! YAY!
  
• She will "blow" when you come to wipe her nose...it is cute!
• She is learning to stack things just to knock them over; she concentrates so much when she is doing this.
