12 month stats!

Taylor is a ONE YEAR OLD! Yay! Her birthday party was amazing and all went so smoothly. We were so happy to see most of our friends and family in the same room to celebrate this huge milestone. And what a trooper Tay was--awake through the whole event and gave everyone lots of smiles and laughs throughout the party!! I will have many photos to share once the photographer releases them but for now, just some recent day-to-day photos as well as her one year stats:

Weight: 21 pounds, 8.8 ounces, 60th percentile
Height: 29 inches, 48th percentile
Head: 18 inches, 70th percentile

We're trying to encourage her to practice walking:























She's so happy when it's meal time:























She's a great lil kisser--except for the tongue-slip...gotta work on that:
















Here she is showing us how pretty she is:























And in all her glory...beast-mode:
















This week was Tay's first week in the "Toddler room" at school. So she is currently one of the youngest in the room which means that all the other children are walking and talking. I am hoping that being surrounded by the 1.5 year olds will encourage Tay to take her first steps, literally. I know that once she does start walking, I'm going to eat my words. But for the moment, I just want to see my baby take her first steps!! I think she's ready...are you ready? Am I ready?
