The Photo Finale: 12 Months

And there you have it. Our little baby has transformed into a 1 year old before our eyes!

The 12 Month Update:

Head Circumference: 47 centimeters (~90th percentile)
Height: 28.5 inches (~20th percentile); though the doctor thought there was an error; I believe it. I am her mother after all.
Weight: 20 pounds 3 ounces (~55th percentile)

Tricks:
-pulling up to stand on everything
-walking while holding on to fingers
-cruising along walls and furniture
-climbing!
-"the surprise face" - hysterical (see below)
-blowing kisses
-waving bye when you put her down in her crib
-dancing
-hugging
-saying "hi" and "bye" with a wave
-words: mama, bye, papa, daddy, hi, bird, bear, up, down, baby

Coming in February: Cousin Baby Joshua!

The Infamous "Surprise Face"
It includes a sucking-in noise and is immediately followed with giggles... over and over. Hilarious!

We love seeing Kurt, Kristen, and Dylan!
The Swoboda family, too :)

Who would know Dylan is 4 months younger?

I still have plans to add more to Ella's first birthday, including some fun videos. I also plan to do posts for Tahoe and our recent weekend away in Monterey/Pacific Grove. In the meantime, sending our love to you, family and friends.
