Lyla~ 12 months old!

Well your first birthday has officially come and gone!! We had a simple celebration with mostly family and a few friends at a park...seriously couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather! It was the perfect way to celebrate you:)





All smiles on the morning of your official bday!

I will go ahead and do the final monthly post of tidbits from the past month;)

• You were 16lbs and 27inches tall at your one year check up. So below the 5th percentile for height and weight- 
just petite all around!

• You love love to eat though. Sometimes it seems you eat as much as the boys at a meal. Mango, banana, blueberries and scrambled eggs, are some of your favorite foods.
 Still do not care for cheese or milk at all! Therefore the transition to milk is not going well..still nursing you exclusively, but planning to try some milk alternatives gradually to see if you like something!

•You can't get enough of playing with your brothers. You just follow them around and laugh/smile at everything they do. You guys have started playing games together and just makes my heart so happy to watch y'all interact.

•Becoming very mischievous and love to still do something when we tell you not to..with a big grin on your face!
 
• You are still not sleeping through the night! I really was counting on you hitting that milestone before your 1st birthday haha. Breyton was 14 months when he finally started sleeping through..so maybe we are close. You have started falling asleep on your own quite often for naps and bedtime....and without having to do 'cry it out' which makes my heart soo happy that your reaching this milestone on your own finally.

•Slowly started to transition to one nap a day. Then you started napping better for the two naps..so we are waiting again!

 

• You are not walking quite yet! Part of me feels like that's why it doesn't really feel like your one yet. You stand very well on your own and take 5-6 steps by yourself quite often, but that's it so far!(update: now two weeks after your birthday your walking across the room very well!)

• Favorite things are peek a boo, walking/pushing any of your push toys around, being outside, playing with magnets on the fridge or dishes in dishwasher, and anything to do with your bubba's. 

I'm beginning to wonder if your hair is gonna be sort of curly on me!? It curls up especially in the back. Breyton's never did this at all (his is stick straight like mommas)..but I could tell you guys have different hair from early on. It will be interesting to see what your hair is like as it grows out!

Photos recap of last month:

You went to the state fair for the first time with the whole family!


This is your favorite outside toy! You love climbing in this car and pushing it all over!


First pigtails!

Cute outfit:o)

Your 'lovey' bunny...this bunny plays music and is your favorite stuffed animal to carry around or put in your crib.


Bath time!

Hanging out with the scare crow the boys made!



Such a sweetie!

You have a huge grin every time you put on sunglasses!

I still can't believe how fast the year flew by and that this is the last 'monthly' post!
The past year has been so blessed and I continue to look forward to soo much with you. 
Love you forever sweet Lyla Grace!
