Emma: 1 year 2 weeks

Not happy with Mama!

Pigtails!

* Size 3 diapers. Size 12 month clothes. Size 3.5 shoes.
* Emma's 12 month check up went great. Stats: weighs 19lbs 5 oz (25%), 29 3/4 inches tall (75%), and head circumference: 45 cm (50%). Poor thing had 4 vaccines and a finger prick. She cried for about 20 seconds then was over it. Was sleepy/snuggly for a few days after the vaccines.
* Started to wean from nursing to cow's milk and dropped the 3rd nursing session (3pm). She didn't like the cow's milk at all.
* Greg put Emma's hair in pigtails; she looked so cute.
* First UGA baseball game. We left during the 10th inning but they lost.
* Started shopping for swing/play sets for Emma; this is her birthday present from Mama and Dada.
* Progress in weaning after several days; I diluted the cow's milk with water since breastmilk is thin. The first few days I diluted 50%/50% with Emma drinking about 4 - 5 oz of milk (8 - 10 oz solution). I lowered the water ratio and added a little bit of vanilla and she is still doing well. Haven't dropped any additional nursing sessions and Emma is not getting any water/juice, just milk all day long.
* Everyone said that Emma will take off with walking but Emma is going to do her own thing and slowly learn to walk. She crawls a lot more than we expected at this point but we learned that it's Emma's pace not anyone elses.
* Is learning a few more words: bubbles, balloons, I get it.
* Follows directions very well; will go get a book from the shelf or to certain toys when asked.
