I am just now getting around to posting Chanley's 1year "stats" I couldn't forget the most important one from her first year. I makes me quite sad to think that she is growing up so quickly. She is becoming quite the independent one and has a fierce attitude. I have absolutely NO idea where it comes from. At her one year checkup she weighed 20lbs 15oz and was 28 1/4 inches long. I was expecting her to weigh more than that but I think she holds at least 5lbs in each cheek! She falls in the 50-60 percentile in both her weight and length class and is right where she should be developmentally according to Dr. O'Neal. Whom we love by the way. She started walking two days before her first birthday and is now everywhere. She tottles all over the house like a drunk man and it is absolutely precious. I actually have a video to post to show all of you. Colby thinks it is great that she can walk/run to/from him, until she steps foot into his room, then the screaming begins. He ever so politely says "No, No baby girl" and sets her into the hallway and closes his door. Then she ever so impolitely begins to scream.....and it gets louder, and louder, and louder. Until either I distract her with something else or Colby decides her being inside his room is much quieter than her being outside! Her favorite things to do right now are riding in her car outside, swinging, playing in "her" cabinet with all the Tupperware, playing in bubba's room, mommy reading books to her, taking a bath, or throwing things in the toilet. We are trying to cut out the latter one! She has recently decided she DOES NOT want to go to the gym with me and brother. She had been going with me two days a week but has decided that it isn't for her and has cut my class/run short twice now because the girls couldn't get her to calm down. So for now she has to stay home with daddy while me and Colby go. Her eating habits have become quite picky these days. She loves fat free bologna, goldfish, Gerbers Crunchies (sort of like a cheeto but with much less mess), yogurt, applesauce, oatmeal, bananas, cinnamon raisin toast, chicken nuggest, fries, and mac and cheese. She is STILL sleeping in her very own bed and has a pretty nice sleeping routine I must admit. She still falls asleep for the night in her swing (yes it still swings, and until it doesn't that's how it will be), then I move her to her bed about 9:30 or 10pm. She then, on most nights, sleeps soundly until about 9am. Since she has started sleeping later she usually only takes one nap a day from about 2-4pm. I have to say I am not minding this at all! She still babbles nonstop and Colby even says sometimes she speaks "Spanich" (like spinach but Spanich). LOL! Her newest words are "Tank Tu" (thank you), Bat (bath), and Bebe (baby). She is quite the entertainer and I am so privileged to be her mommy!
