the skills and life experience of a one year old:

1. she is so close to walking. 33 steps is her record thus far.

2. tell her 'no no' and she turns around and shakes her finger at you. 

the next few years are going to be sassy ones.

3. she has an obsession with doors. 

she loves to shut and open them. I think she likes the disappear/reappear feature. 

 this game may sound dangerous, but she is quite aware 
of her fingers and hasn't hurt herself, yet.

4. she is saying lots of words. 

However, some words are probably recognizable to only the mommy ear.

Some of her words include, momma, da da, bottle, kittie, doggie, bye bye, here, baby,

and one time, i swear, she said 'bless you'...maybe it was a fluke. 

5. she is so lovable. i used to call her the anti-cuddler, but she is changing her ways.

6. if we go out to eat, she will sit in a high-chair the entire time. 

this may not seem like a biggie, 

but she is a wiggle worm and it took a long time for us to get here!

7. not a pacifier girl, but she enjoys sucking on bottle tops. odd?

8. she can climb up stairs. she can slide down stairs.

9. her new thing is to throw both her hands up as a response to any question
that asks what, where or why something or someone is.

10. she has rode on an airplane and was an angel both trips, 
layovers and everything. hooray! 

11. she has traveled to idaho, wyoming, utah, colorado (briefly) and texas. busy girl!
