One Year Old

Alright, I'm a few days late, but that's what happens when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit!

We also just went to the doctor today, so there were no statistics to report before.  Little Miss Anna is now 28.5 inches long, landing in the 30th percentile.  She weighs 20 pounds 2 ounces, settling her into the 35th percentile.  Still growing like a champ, according to the doctor.  She was also quite impressed at the toddling Anna was doing around the office when she walked in.

She had a great birthday.  Grandma and Grandpa Nigh came to visit.  We had a great time.  We went shopping, ate out (milk in a fun carton, which was squeezable!), had a doughnut, all kinds of things that were new, fun, and a bit spoilish, but what are grandparents for?!  When Dad got home, we Skyped Nainai and Yeye so they could see the first experience with cake, and the presents being opened.

Anna is walking EVERYWHERE.  A few days after she took her first steps, she figured out that she could get up where ever she was and walk.  She has been doing it ever since.  She does laps around the church building looking for babies.

She talks a lot too, with some words that we can actually recognize.  She says "thank you" when she hands you something, "hi" whenever she feels like it, "kitty" when she sees any small animal, "puppy" for any larger animal, "baby" when she sees her doll or a baby.  When she eats, she will just babble, unless you have a camera.
