12 month update

Twelve months.  One year.  Wow!  I would never have thought how fast the time would fly by.  It's been an amazing year getting to know Caroline.  She is truly a remarkable little girl. 
Here's some stats from her check up:
Weight: 21 lbs., 9 oz.  This puts her her in the 60th percentile
Height: 30.5 in.  Holding strong in the 90th percentile!  So glad she has her daddy's long, lean body!
Head: 45.5 cm.  63rd percentile

The doctor said she looked great.  She got the go ahead to start on whole milk and to eat pretty much whatever we eat.  There's not too many things that she's not allowed to eat. 

That same day we started her on milk and table foods.  We've also pretty much given up all bottles for her.  She drinks from her sippy cup for everything except her final bottle of the day.  We'll start working on giving that one up soon.  She resisted the sippy cups at first but within a day or two she didn't mind them. 

As far as eating goes - there are not too many things that this girl doesn't like.  This weekend when we were at her grandma's house we discovered her love for hotdogs (much to Jeremy's delight)!  She put not one, but two hotdogs away in no time!

The biggest hurdle right now is getting her to feed herself with a spoon and fork.  She would so much rather feed herself with her fingers.  We're just going to have to keep after her with this.  And let me tell you this is a messy process!

She had a great time chasing me while I was trying to catch her picture!
