baby girl is 1 year old!
it's crazy! almost every day i look at her, i think of how big and mature she looks and can't believe that she's already a toddler and that she's going to be walking soon.. ahh.. my baby girl..
i believe she's 28 inches tall now and almost 21 pounds? grew one inch and 3 pounds since her 9 month appointment. she sure is getting heavy! she hit 50th percentile for everything - height, weight, and head. guess everything is starting to normalize now.
my mom flew out for her first birthday! it wasn't anything crazy. we just had some balloons and a fake cardboard cutout of a cake (because i want to minimize her intake of processed sugar as much as possible!) and a birthday hat for a photoshoot. unfortunately, she was deathly afraid of the balloons lol but she really liked playing with the hat and fake cake. carlo was blowing up the balloons in the morning before i left for work and she cried when he put her next to one (probably because it was so foreign!) and she never really warmed up to them. poor girl! apparently it kind of ruined her mood for moooost of the day. i got home around 4 and she seemed to be pretty happy then. we had cake but it was mostly for us. but hey, her birthday is technically my birthday too because i birthed her!! and it's been a year for all of us. we survived. we deserve everything :)! her birthday fell on president's day so we got a 3 day weekend out of it.
my mom only stayed for like 4-5 days. short but sweet. i'm glad she got to spend quality time with her because i know my mom loves her so much and it must be so hard spending months away from her and having to live through instagram.
reading the last post, i can't believe that was only a month ago! she made quite some advancements since the last update.

- finally popped out 2 teeth after turning 11 months! so cute when she laughs and eats
- hair's finally starting to come in! cute fuzzy duckling hair
- food - new loves: orange & honeydew. both of these fruit are two new things she tried and she loves them so much that she hoards them in her mouth like a chipmunk and starts crying because she can't chew.. lol. she's starting to phase out her love for peas, but she does still like them. she also likes eggs and fish (specifically fishball & white fish). there still hasn't been anything she hasn't eaten.. she isn't picky at all! I think she particularly loves the juicy & sweet aspect of fruit but still does enjoy her meat and carbs, if i had to guess how she ranks her favorite foods.
- started jibber jabbering
- always laughs when she looks at the phone screen (no matter what's on it)
- standing and walking (assisted) more confidently. able to switch hands and make small steps between boxes (we have her practicing standing up against the huge costco diaper boxes lol)
- still not crawling but doing some aggressive scooting on one leg, like a weird monkey
- starting to copy what we're saying (trying to get her to learn her name, she says it more like 'hi-ya' instead of mya)
- getting more and more affectionate! i love when she puts her head on my shoulder when i'm carrying her, or when she puts her head on my chest when i have her standing in front of me when i'm sitting down or when she's on top of me when i'm lying down :)
- getting better at motor skills! starting to bang with a stick on her xylophone fairly accurately, and able to put a stick toy back in its hole (she used to just do a big raking motion and knock down everything)
