One Year Old!

Noelle turned one on 5-20-12.  Here are the photos we took this morning.  Such a big girl!!


This is so Noelle!!


Doing her favorite thing - standing.




And the outtakes...





So what's new with Noelle this month?

Well, not so much new this month.  Sleep is pretty similar to last month and we haven't really done anything about it because she's been sick for half the month with either a cold and/or ear infection.  So she still eats once in the middle of the night.  Sean likes to say she's like a gremlin - cute and laid-back during the day and a crazy monster at night ;)

She eats well during the day and she started using a sippy cup to drink water and milk, although she still takes three bottles when she goes to daycare.  The funny thing is she's figured out how to use a straw, unlike her 2.5 year old brother who still has no clue what to do when given a straw... We'll probably get rid of bottles altogether in the next month or two.

She are becoming much more opinionated and has started to throw mini-tantrums when we thwart what she's doing (such as hitting the dog or TV). 

She still crawls everywhere... she also stands all the time now and can easily stand up from sitting without pulling up on anything.  She is also super super close to taking your first steps.  She seems to be contemplating it when she stands sometimes but then either dives forward arms first or goes back to crawling.  She also cruises the furniture a lot more.  We also discovered that Noelle can easily crawl all the way up a flight of stairs. 

And still no real words - just lots of babbling and growling.  Yes, growling.
