One

Aimee is one today. That year flew by. We got her 1 year pictures done on the weekend, but we don't get them until the 14th. 

  • She weighs approximately 17 pounds and is 27" long
  • We took her to the pediatrician last week, he said she is on track for her actual age. She is doing everything a 1 year old does aside from walking but not all babies walk by 1.
  • She eats 3 meals a day, has snacks and drinks cows milk now. She still has 1-2 bottles a day of vanilla toddler drink. The rest of the time she drinks from a straw cup.
  • Her favourite foods are chicken, pear/squash pouches from Walmart, potatoes and fruit.
  • She's cruising around the furniture a lot
  • She walks with her push toy or if someone is holding her hands. 
  • She is not standing unassisted yet. Sometimes, she lets go of whatever she is holding onto and doesn't fall right away, but once she realizes she's standing alone she grabs onto the table/wall/toy/whatever she was holding
  • She has 2 teeth. She's been showing signs of more coming in, but so far she just has the 2 bottom front ones.
  • She says mama, dada and is trying to say a few more words. On the weekend, she said "oggy oggy oggy oggy" for about 20 minutes straight and quite a few times after that. I think she is trying to say doggy. It sounds like she says yeah, hi and bye sometimes.
  • She loves to watch and dance to The Wiggles. 
We checked out the daycare last week. She played for about half an hour and loved it. I will feel comfortable with her being there. The ladies who work there all seem really nice and they couldn't believe that Aimee was 10 weeks early.



Aimee won first place in her age group at the Paris Fair on Monday

This was her costume for the special class "dress like a nursery rhyme"

She loves to open cupboards. Mike baby proofed them so now she is confused.
