Dear Adeline

Dear Adeline, 

You are one years old now! And so much fun! You love to laugh and to make people laugh. The sparkle in your eye warms my heart.

 You started walking 2 days after your first birthday! you giggle the whole time you are walking. You are so proud of yourself.

You have refused to nurse now for a few days... I am both happy and sad! I will miss nursing you, but the freedom is kind of nice. :)

You eat everything! Even steak! :)

You don't want me to ever leave your sight! Even when you are playing you will make sure I am watching you. 

If I say "no" you smile and do it again. I repeat "no" and you a little more unsurely do it again and smirk. :) 

You have really started getting vocal about what you do and don't want to do. 

You hate diaper changes! It is quite the challenge to get you to lay down and let me change your diaper. 

You still really like your pacifier and bottles. I am not quite sure how I am going to get you away from pacifiers and bottles yet..  I am thinking... slowly.

You weigh 19 lbs 13 ounces you are 28.5 inches. 

Your doctor says you are doing great and look very healthy! I agree!
