She is seriously all over the place and into everything. She's really getting the hang of walking and can stand up from sitting without assistance from anything. She's opening drawers and cupboards, flushing the toilet, etc. Berkley didn't walk until later, which I thought was convenient, but I kind of love watching this little thing toddle around because she just looks too small to be walking and it's adorable.
She also really loves to climb. She loves to climb up the little chairs.
One day Zack had the genius idea to put the stool by the little kitchen so she could reach the higher stuff. She was in heaven.
She is normally happy but boy can she scream! When she wants something, everybody knows about it.
Berkley currently calls her "babe."
I posted most of the words she can say and sign in the 11 month post. There are a few new ones but it's pretty much the same. She's catching on really quick. Her most common words are "wassat?" and "wassdiss?"
She loves stuffed animals. Whenever she's handed one she gives it hugs and kisses.
This girl can eat! She generally isn't picky but she knows if you're eating something different than she is and she'll beg for your food. Her favorite food is probably bread of any variety (normal bread, rolls, breadsticks, banana bread, cookies, pancakes, etc.)
She still has seven teeth. Four on top, three on the bottom. Her molars are trying to poke through.
She understands more than I realize. She knows commands like stand up, sit down, come here, etc. But I think it's funny when she's listening to a conversation and we don't notice. Like if somebody says something about a hat or hair and she starts patting her head. One time she was playing on the stairs and Zack said, "You better get down or you're gonna eat it." She started doing the sign for 'eat' in sign language. In fact, here's a picture of when she did 'eat it' against a corner of a kitchen cabinet.
This girl's hair is amazing. Not only does she keep getting blonder, but her hair is super long and thick. It makes for some good bedhead.
I think she looks like a Toolson (my Mom's side of the family.)
I took some pictures of her on her birthday.
Since her birthday was only 4 days before Easter this year we had a combined Easter dinner/birthday celebration at our house. She wasn't really into opening her presents but Berkley was all over it.
She got lots of fun toys and cute clothes! Berkley was more excited than Peyton to play with all the toys.
Peyton caught on eventually. She loves all of her new stuff!
And, of course, we had to do cake and take way too many pictures/video. Rylee made the perfect little cake for the occasion. Both of my girls were really dainty about eating their cakes and they took some encouragement. Here's the long video.
This picture of my videoing Misty while she sings 'happy birthday' makes me laugh.
And the aftermath.
Just for comparison here's Berkley at one year and Berkley's first birthday party.
