1 year check-up

Marisa finally had her one year check-up and here are the results:

Weight: 20 pounds 15.5 ounces 49 percentile
Height: 29 inches 45 percentile
Head: 18.7 inches 96 percentile

Marisa's doctor said she is just an all around average girl! She is also still healthy and happy which is such a blessing! So, the big head is obviously still no surprise, but her height kinda surprised me though because she has been tall her whole life until now. But then again it doesn't because, hello...I'm 5'2''!

Anyways, here is an update of a few new things that she is doing as a one year old!:

New words:
-More
-Ball
-Pretty
-Cracker
-Yeah/Yep
-Hello
-Toto (Meaning "Otro" in Spanish which means "Another/Again")

She knows the answers to...
-"How old are you?" (She lifts up her little pointer finger in the air!)
-"Where is your eye, nose, mouth, ear, head, bellybutton?"
-"Who's the boss?" (She points to herself!)
-"Can I have a kiss?" (Her reply is sticking out her bottom lip, saying "Mmmm", then landing a big wet one on your face!)
-"What does a cat, cow, dog, horse say?"
-"Where is (fill in the blank)?" (Whatever it is she will go find it.)

Commands:
-"Be reverent!" (She folds her arms!)
-"Sit down!"
-"Tickle, Tickle!" (She tickles her own tummy!)
-"Jump, Jump" (She jumps but it is more like bouncing up and down...haha)

Marisa is off the bottle and baby food now and she has no problem eating what we eat. This girl can eat anything! And a lot of it! She has her 8 teeth in front and a molar. There are a few more coming in and the poor thing has been so fussy the past couple of weeks because of it. Marisa absolutely loves to read. We could read all day if it was up to her. We are working on walking with her but she gets stage fright when she realizes she can take steps on her own and stand on her own. But she is learning so much and we are so proud of her! We love you Marisa!
