It is so hard to believe Makayla is 1 now. Time really flies by so fast, so we are treasuring every move, smile, expression and anything she does and especially the time we have with her.
Her stats now are 23.7lbs (80%) and 29in long (average) . She got her first two teeth finally a little before Christmas. Now we are working on the top teeth and probably more. Two have poked through and we think more are right around the corner.
She is starting to be an early riser but thankfully plays with her toys til 7:30 if she does wake up early. Her naps…well they come as she pleases. We still make her stay in for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Sometimes she just plays the whole time which is fine. I know some don’t like toys in cribs because it is a place to sleep, but when you have a kid who likes to be with all the entertainment toys are the answer that the doctor gave to my sister for my niece who is the same way.
She eats well, but will let you know if she doesn’t want something on her tray because she will throw it off. Although now she is learning she better not do that or else she gets in trouble. However, the dogs really like her dropping her food. She loves avacados and grilled cheese alot. For breakfast she will eat an egg, 1/4 cup adult oatmeal and either applesauce or a whole banana pureed together. She normally can eat the whole thing. She does eat vegetables and some meat if she pleases but the meat has to be really pureed small and mixed with applesauce or something to drown out the flavor.
She truly is our pride and joy and we can’t wait for many more years with her and watching her mature into a woman whose joy is to please God.
