12 Month Check Up

We went to Blake's 12 month well-check this morning. She weighs 21 pounds 5 ounces (55th percentile) and is 31.25 inches long (still 97th percentile). Dr. B says she is very healthy and is just long and lean (he always calls her that). For those that I haven't updated, Blake is back to sleeping normally. She takes 2 good naps a day, 3 if I go for a walk after work because Blake falls asleep in the stroller. She also sleeps 9-10 hours a night. I read in lots of books that babies go through a phase from around 9 months to 12 months of bad sleep habits, and they grow back out of it and return to sleeping well. That is exactly what happened to us! Thank goodness things are back to normal. Blake is not walking on her own yet, but is becoming braver. She cruises along furniture, will walk behind the kitchen chairs she pushes across the room or her walking lion toy, and will try to stand on her own briefly. She also walks on her knees. Blake also loves to eat!
Blake is also very into waving at everyone right now. She waves hi and bye to pretty much everyone, both on her own and when anyone says hi or bye.
These are also from Blake's party day. This is the shirt my mom and I embroidered for my little lovebug to wear.
The following pictures are also from Saturday during Blake's party. Not only were we blessed with great weather, but some special friends came, too. As we were all hanging out outside, my sister Katie noticed bugs all in our porch on the back of the house. There were tons of ladybugs crawling all over the windows and walls!
