Thankfully this will be the last of our "monthly photo shoots", as it has become nearly impossible!
Quick recap of the month:
*** Brooke did GREAT at her 12 month check-up. She weighed in at 29 pounds, is 32 inches long and her head measured 59 cm, she is off the charts for everything! Since she has become really mobile (the past 3 months)... she has gained no weight and grown 3 inches! The doctor is thrilled with Brooke's progress both physically and mentally.
*** Brooke is starting to become a climber. She will move her diaper wipe box, a book or whatever she can find to use as a step stool. We have to be VERY careful what we leave on tables now, since she can virtually find a way to reach everything now!
*** Brooke is into EVERYTHING! She is really becoming aware of the big world around her and is constantly exploring to learn about everything.
*** Bedtime has continued to be a breeze! Unfortunately, she still doesn't like the idea of napping. Occassionally we get lucky and get a 1-2 hour nap out of her, but there is no consistancy. Thankfully she still sleeps in the car, so she typically gets a couple of "catnaps" a day.
*** Brooke is still a great eater! Baby food is a thing of the past, for the most part, she now eats whatever we are eating. She LOVES Cheetohs, as soon as she sees the bag, she points and says "Chi Chi".
*** Brooke now has 9 teeth... 4 on top, 4 on the bottom and 1 molar. The poor thing has 3 more molars breaking through.
*** Miss Brooke is really becoming a social butterfly. Her vocabulary is continuing to expand and consists of about 20 understandable words. She is constantly tying to communicate with us, sometimes we understand and more times than not, we don't. My personal favorite, when Brooke is asked how old she is, she very confidently says, "two"!
*** Brooke is great about playing with all of her toys! I wouldn't say she has a favorite toy, but a favorite activity. She LOVES to empty everything...
*** What will Brooke do next? We can't wait to find out!
