This is Sophie on her birthday. I love this outfit — Amy, from Tootlebugs, made it for her as a birthday gift and we have worn it twice a week since then! It is so soft and snuggly and makes her look like such a big girl. She was given several birthday outfits, so she ended up wearing a different one to school every day that week.
This scrunched up face is her new “go-to” pose when you pull out the camera. I don’t know how she’s figured out she’s supposed to smile when we take pictures, but if you even walk by with a camera, she tilts her head back and grins away.
On her birthday, I sent cute little chocolate cupcakes from the Publix bakery to “school” with her to share with her friends. Heidi said she had to have a little impromptu rinse off in the sink after snack time. This girl LOVES to eat.
See, here’s that crazy, scrunchy face again. It’s a good look at those chompers, too. She still only has two on bottom and almost four on top. On of her middle teeth is not quite through the gums yet and it is giving us fits at bedtime and nap time. I’m kind of ready to reclaim my bed for the adults! Maybe this one will break through very soon.
On Monday we had our 12 month well baby visit with Dr. Darby. Sophie was so big and brave at the doctor’s office, until the nurse came in. She weighed 19 pounds and 1 ounce and was 30.5 inches long. I think her head was 18 inches around. She’s still in the 25th percentile for weight and 90th for height. So thrilled for a tall and skinny girl! Darby said she looked wonderful. We talked about cars eats and teeth brushing and foods she’s eating. She is already drinking whole milk, but the doctor encouraged us to lose the bottle as soon as we can. Yesterday was our first full day without it and so far, so good. I’m hoping that when I take her to school on Monday morning we’ll be ready to ditch it there, too. We’ve only ever used a pacifier at night when she sleeps and occasionally in the car, so we don’t have to worry about that just yet. She isn’t really attached, so I’m hoping we can eliminate that sometime over the summer.
Can you believe how big this little is getting?
