Thank you everyone that came to celebrate London's birthday with us! She was a bit overwhelmed with all the people and the singing. She apparently isn't all that into cake. After about 30 mins on 2 occasions of trying to get her to eat the cake, we just gave up. She didn't appear to care anything for it. I think she takes afer Daddy and just prefers ice cream! She also likes mini-marshmellows! In fact, she loves them!
What's new with London...
Crawling: Everywhere, all the time, and at warp speed. Seriously, she has a high gear she can crawl in!
Walking: I'm not complaining, but she can totally walk, she just doesn't want to. Again, so ok with that. She walks great with just slight assistance, but as soon as you let go she drops to the floor and crawls. She has learned to walk the perimeter of the bonus room holding on to the coffee table, then couch, then chair, then wall. It really seems like she's going to just take off any moment. Until then, it's just so fun to watch.
Teeth: So at her 10 month report, I guessed she would have 5 teeth by her birthday. I was wrong! She has 10 teeth! Her 4 top and bottom and a molar on each side! She went from no teeth at all until 9 1/2 months to 10 teeth at 12 months! Amazing!
Talking: In addition to uh-oh, we've added "oh no!" to her vocabulary. It's too cute! She also says "pretty" in a whisper when she's playing with my earrings or a necklace I have on. She's my girly girl! I'm pretty sure she says "duck" and "dog". She picks up random objects and puts them up to her ear saying "hello" - which actually is more like "hey-do". She also says "do-di-do-di-do-di" over and over. I don't really know what that means, but it's really cute!
Gestures: She points to herself with her thumb when you ask he where is London or where's the baby? Ian taught her to flex her muscles and grunt, except she doesn't really flex she just grunts. Very funny! She likes to wear her frozen teething ring as a bracelet rather than chew on it. LOL She is a dancing fool! Anytime music comes on, she dances!
Favorite game right now: She loves to turn around in her stroller for a high five when I'm taking her on a walk. She loves playing chase around the living room. It's so funny to see a sense of humor in a 12 month old, but sometimes when I feed her food from a spoon, she bites the spoon before I can get it out of her mouth, but she gets so tickled at herself she ends up laughing and drooling her food out of her mouth at the same time. She knows she's being silly and then just like that she gets right back to business eating her food!
Favorite toy right now: She LOVES mom and dad's iPhones SO much so that we can't even have them within sight of her because she will want to play with them. She's figured out how to press the button and then slide her finger to unlock the phone too. As for real toys, she got some cool new Fisher Price barn toys and a Weebles play center thing for her birthday and she really likes both of those. She also likes to push her activity table all around the room walking behind it. She likes her bucket with shapes and plays with that a lot. She also loves tons of other things she's not supposed to play with, like shoes, DVDs, the dog's outside chain, keys, etc.
Clothes: At her check up this month she was in the 75% of height at 30" and finally made it up to the 50% percentile for weight at 20.12 lbs. She's wearing 12 month clothes, but I've bought mostly 18 month clothes for her for the Fall/Winter, so that's actually what she's wearing. The 18 mo. pants are still pretty long, but that's ok. She's in size 3 or size 4 shoes.
