Heidi - One Year

 Our baby girl turned one this past week.  I suppose that means she isn't really a baby anymore.  This girl keeps us on our toes and we are enjoying seeing her personality really come out.  Heidi loves to be in the middle of the action, she is generally cheerful and full of life.  And she has a temper that is making itself known.  Here are a few things to remember about Heidi at one:
 Heidi is 31.5" (99%) and 22 lbs 12 oz (87%) - definitely a big girl!  And she eats so well - she will try all sorts of food.  Her favorites are fruit (especially mandarin oranges but we have to limit how many we let her eat) and beans.  Oh, and cupcakes now!  She had two new top teeth break through on her birthday and it looks like there are two more bottom teeth just under her gums.
This girl is social in many ways, she loves people and doesn't fuss when we drop her off at daycare or in the nursery.  She loves other kids, especially her big sister.  However, she has one mean stare for strangers.  She doesn't act afraid of them but she doesn't smile and she doesn't blink she just stares them down.  She also loves carrying something in her hand.  Lately it has been a Duplo Lego but in the past it has been a pencil and sometimes it will be a piece of Playmobil.  Heidi definitely adds so much joy and fun to our lives, we're so thankful to be her family and look forward to watching her grow even more!
