Lydia is one! It feels weird to say that when people ask how old she is....."she's 1", say what?! She's still speed crawling all over the house, standing and cruising around everything at her level, and is just starting to stand on her own for a short amount of time. Favorite toy - I'd say stacking toys, strainers in the kitchen, and board books. She'll quickly flip through every board book she can find, quite the little speed reader! She does have a favorite book right now - Baby, Boo! Talking - lots of babbling, I might hear a mama, mommy, dada, all done (or something like it :). Loves to screech in the car, just like her brother used to do. LOVES the song "5 Little Monkeys" and any song by One Direction (yes, she's a groupie already). The girl can dance! Doesn't really want to sign for me yet - she has her version of signing "water" and "all done," and I think she's doing "more" now, as well, though not consistent. Still, very smiley, showing off her mouth full of chompers (12 of them, I believe). Sleep is good at night, 12 hours, no problem; but not my good napper during the day like her brother! Some days will take two good naps and other days not so much. Meat (any and all kinds) and Cheerios are still her favorite foods. Continues to go in spurts with what she likes and dislikes. She doesn't like cheese; I thought all kids loved cheese! I finished up my breastmilk from the freezer right around her 1st birthday, perfect timing. Now she's on to whole milk.
Here are her stats from Dr. Sakkal's visit.....
Length: 28.5 inches (30th %ile)
Weight: 18 pounds, 13 ounces (20th %ile)
Head Circumference: 18 inches (70th %ile)
The doctor visit was a rough one this time. She's terrified of getting her height and weight measured, and from then on was sad-crying until the screaming came out for the 4 shots she had to get :(
Now, onto the big birthday bash! Well, of course, I had to do a Cheerios theme for my little Cheerios lover!
She wanted nothing to do with her cake. We think she got a little scared of the flame on her candle, and therefore didn't want to to touch the cake associated with that mean candle. I even tried putting frosting in her mouth, and she spit it out. Oh well! She wanted the breakfast sausage that Daddy was grilling for the brunch we were having :)
These two had fun with the Cheerio themed projects I had ready for them. They're both big fans of a good "project," that's for sure!
Lydia & Grandma
She was such a dainty little present-opener, very carefully tearing off the paper. Thank goodness she had such a great helper, big brother, to assist her.

We had a very nice day outside, so we had to get out for a family pic :)
