We have been waiting with bated breath for Hadley to start walking...but no such luck yet. We have managed to get her to take a few steps by herself but that's the most she'll do so far. It will probably be any day now (although I've been thinking that for the last month)!
Words:She says "dada" to Rey consistently so we're pretty confident that she knows that's who he is. She will say "mama", too...but she usually only says it when she's upset and wants me to help her. She calls Simba "ba" but so far those are about the only words we can really make out. She babbles constantly so I'm thinking that once she does learn more words, she will be quite the talker.
Measurements:
Weight: 20lbs., 8oz. (38th percentile)
Height: 29.25 inches (43rd percentile)
Head Circumference: 18 inches (74th percentile)
Eating:
Now that Hadley is a year old she doesn't need formula anymore...Woohoo!! She drinks whole milk and thankfully, she didn't have any problems with the transition. She is also doing great with feeding herself...her favorites are bananas and strawberries. :-) She STILL only has 2 teeth and I am starting to wonder if the others will ever come in. I'm hoping she at least gets her top two in soon so she can use them to bite with. She still mostly drinks from her bottle, but she's getting better with a sippy cup and she's quite good at drinking from a straw.
Music:
As with most babies her age she loves music and she even dances sometimes! She kinda looks like she's doing the twist when she's dancing...so cute! Rey's mom taught her a couple of songs with little hand movements and she'll do those movements with her hand when she wants to hear them. Then we'll sing them to her and she'll clap!
