12 Months Old!

We did our final monthly photo shoot for Gwen's first birthday. It was much easier now that she can sit and stand! She had her 12 month check up with Dr. Paxton yesterday. She weighs 19 1/2 pounds and is 27 1/2  inches long. Dr. Paxton said she is tiny, but growing fine and perfectly healthy. She is in the 10th percentile for her height and the 25th percentile for her weight. So, she is pretty tiny. Still no teeth-she is our only baby to go this long without getting any teeth. 
She loves everything she isn't supposed to have. Her most favorite thing to do is go up and down the stairs while someone holds her hand. She loves cell phones, cameras, and remote controls. She is usually a pretty good eater and is doing better on her sleeping. She is still nursing and loves her binky and her favorite blanket. 
She loves baths, reading books, and dancing to music. She does her best to keep up with Adam and Tessa and she does a good job of it. She is always so happy to see them in the morning. 
We waited so long to get her here and she has been a joy to have each day this past year. She was worth the wait!! 
Happy First Birthday Gwen!
