Lainey is 1 year old!

To say this past year went by fast is one of the hugest understatements ever! I swear I was just pregnant?! It has been a bittersweet time for me seeeing you turn 1 my love. Not only did you turn 1 but you also got much better at walking and weaned yourself from nursing all in the same week! Did you mean to break mommy's heart?! I cannot look at you without smiling and/or getting teary eyed. I swear you are the most beautiful little baby girl! Your cheeks are just amazing and pair that with your piercing almond shaped blue eyes and perfect little bow mouth and I just want to gobble you up!

• Walking almost always now
• pulling self up to stand without holding onto anything
• saying "dog" "mama" and "dada" and just after turning 1 you started to say "ta" which is Daddy's version of please/thank you
• Dancing to any music but especially Yo Gabba Gabba tunes
• Giving sister your HUGEST smiles
• Jabbering away and making facial gestures to help express yourself
• eating almost anything sat in front of you
• drinking cows milk now even straight without breastmilk mixed in
• using only sippy cups no bottles or breast
• playing shy with almost everyone but you do give Aunt Katie some smiles too
• fave toys include fisher price peek a blocks and especially the farm for them, fisher price peek a balls (?) and gumball machine (you love putting blocks and balls and whatever else into containers), little bath squirter toys you love to carry around in your hands, board books (your collection is growing greatly!)
