Santa Monica

This past weekend we flew down to L.A. to attend my mom's Cousin's Wedding - so we took some time on Saturday to check out the Santa Monica Pier & walk on the beach!

My first time to the ocean! Here I am asleep in the pack on my Momma's back, we are standing with my Uncle Jason.

After I woke up I was able to watch & enjoy the beautiful ocean waves!!

But it was kinda scary to stand out there!

One Year STATS

Today I had my 1 year old check-up at the doctors office. I had to get 4 shots in my thighs & had get my blood drawn to check my iron levels & for food allergies. That means I had 5 needles poke me - ouch! I was tough, I cried a lot but didn't fight at all. I just sat there & let the tears flow down my cheeks....

Current Stats:

(It appears that I am beginning to thin out. I have previously been in the 50-75% for both height & weight.)

Ht: 29 inches (65%) Wt: 19lbs, 15oz (30%) head: 18 inches (70%)

Vocabulary: I can say - Mama, duck, dog, cat, mooo, quack quack

Mobility: I can climb all over, walk 10 steps w/o holding on & am expert walker while pushing the laundry basket & I am just learning to dance standing up w/o holding on (so cute).

Favorites: I really love cats right now - even though I was attacked by one. I also still really love books & am starting to make preferences at bedtime.

Socially: I take my time to warm up in new environments, I like to observe the surroundings before jumping into the action. I love to share - I will give you all my food & toys, I will even collect all the dog toys & take them to the dog. Aren't I just a sweetie?
