Hannah - 1 year Update

Hannah had a great 1 year check-up!  She weighed 23 lbs and 4 oz and was in the 82nd percentile for her weight.  She was 29 inches tall and was in the 48th percentile for her height.  We're so thankful for our healthy, happy one year old.  

Hannah's favorites at 1 year:  
Food:  Bananas, yogurt, green beans, cheese, puffs, ham, mandarin oranges, peaches
Movies:  Baby Signing Time
Books:  Peek-a-boo books...especially "Peek-A-Who"
Activities:  Looking at/reading books, playing in their play kitchen, copying Emily, clapping
Words she can say:  Mama, Dada, Night night (nigh, nigh), Hey! 

Sleeping Habits at 1 year:  
-Takes 2 naps a day - about 1 1/2 hours in the morning and an hour in the afternoon
-It usually takes her about 2 minutes to fall asleep each time we lay her down
-She sleeps 11-12 hours at night.....almost never wakes up in the middle of the night.  
-She sleeps with her bunny and a sound machine that sounds like rain

Things I treasure about our 1 year old:  
-She is a very happy and content child.
-She's a good eater - she is pretty much happy with anything we give her.  
-She has a stubborn streak.  Last week I stopped bottles and started giving her all her liquids in sippy cups.  Hannah didn't appreciate the change and has let me know it by clamping her mouth down tight any time I tried to give her the cup.  It's been just over a week and she's starting to do better, but I'm still counting ounces to try to make sure she's getting enough to keep her hydrated.  
-Her adorable dimple, beautiful blue eyes, and long eye lashes.:)  
-She loves it when Daddy tickles her! 
-Any sound or movement that we make, Hannah can and usually will copy.  It's impressive. 
-She loves music...she starts bouncing up and down.
-She LOVES it when Daddy comes home from work.  She crawls straight to him saying "Hey ... Dada" and pulls up on his leg.  She gives a warm welcome for sure. 
-She's learning to walk.  She can take about 10 steps at a time.  
-She doesn't let her big sister push her around.:)  There once was a day when Hannah would let Emily take toys right out of her hand, but that day is no more.  If Em even tries to mess with her you hear Hannah screeching ...LOUD!  
-She likes to climb.  So far she isn't able to climb up high enough to really make me nervous, but I have a feeling the day will come.:) 
-She's independent.  I often find her playing happily by herself in the playroom.  
-She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!!  I will not be sad when this phase is over.  
-She loves her Bunny.  She doesn't get out of the crib without it and she holds it for awhile after she wakes up.  Tonight we said...."Hannah, go get your bunny."  She looked around the room and then took off crawling across the room to go get her.  Sweet girl!
