12 months (a better late than never post!)

Dear Mayson Pearl,
We made it!!! You are officially 12 months old! The big O-N-E!
 
You weigh 20 lbs and are 29 1/4 inches tall.
You wear both 9 and 12 month size clothes.
And just like last month your diaper size and show size still match; both are size 3.
You sleep close to 12 hours at night and you are back to taking two naps a day.
You no longer eat any baby food and you are officially off all bottles!
We refer to you as "our little garbage disposal" because you will eat almost anything.
You have a lot to say now, even though we only understand about ten percent of it!!! But you clearly say... Mama, Dada, Gaga (grandma), Kiki (kitty), Bye-bye, Baba (bottle), Hey, All Done, No, Zat (what's that) and Doggie.
 
What all were you up to the month before you became a toddler?
 
You took your third plane trip, complete with your first ever layover.
 
Made your first ever batch of homemade playdough with mommy.
 
Finally got to sport your Eagles gear and watch football with daddy.
 
We cheered on daddy's softball team (as they lost yet again!!!)
 
and
You started going to your own class on Thursday's while mommy goes to her own hour long bible study class. You aren't so sure of this one yet... and while it breaks mommy's heart for you to cry when she drops you off I know its good for you to develop some independence.  

You loved...
little people and princesses
rolling balls back and forth
books
playing hide and seek
your doggy Atlas and kitties Cameron and Minnie
singing and helping act out songs - your faves are "Clap your Hands" and "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"
going out to eat
opening and closing things
anything with buttons
playing outside
swinging
playing chase with daddy
taking things out just to put them back again
being silly and laughing
"talking" to dada and gaga on the phone
and
brushing your teeth
 
You Hated...
diaper changes
getting dressed and undressed
not being allowed to play in the dog's bowls
when mommy or daddy leaves
and
if we try to make you walk on your own; you usually refuse because you still want someone's hand to hold

  2. Looks like her and Sydney are alot alike! They like and dislike alot of the same things. Diaper changes she really hates to the point she is screaming and attempting to get away every time!! No fun!!! Love all the pics! Sounds like she's talking really well too! Sydney will talk alot one week then the next week it seems like she is so quite (maybe due to being grumpy from teething)..I noticed Kenzie would do this too sometimes I chopped it up to her focusing on new things and she would lose interest in other new accomplishments... :)
