Maggie: One Years Old

Likes/Dislikes: Maggie is loving the outdoors, make everyone laugh/smile, baby dolls and her new truck (thanks Nana and Papa). She's slowly coming around to liking grass and will now at least move around and touch it. Diaper changes have been a nightmare as of lately due to the fact that it requires her to lay still. It's starting to get near impossible to change her. She's also not a fan of cutting so many teeth at once. She cut two more top teeth in a matter of four days and three of four molars are super swollen. Poor girl is struggling.

Development: So much development happened in just a matter of the last month. Maggie is babbling even more with "mama", "dada", "uh-oh" and "baby". She also signs please and more, as well as lifting her arms up for "so big". She picks up a phone and puts it to her head to start talking. She's becoming more brave and climbing up on things and trying to go up as many stairs as she can before we catch her. Maggie had her one year appointment on Monday and is weighing 26.2 pounds and is 31.25 inches. Both in the 97th percentile. Dr. Patten also caught another ear infection (second one in two weeks) and so we are moving on to tubes. We have an appointment with ENT at the end of the month for a consult and hopefully with have tubes within the month.

Sleeping: The ear infections the last couple of weeks haven't really disrupted Maggie's sleep surprisingly. Sleeping from 7pm to 6:30am with two naps during the day.

Eating: We introduced whole milk and are slowly weaning her off the bottle. Goal is to be done by next week. When she's teething or fighting ear infections, she tends to not eat food she normally loves (like bananas lately), but it seems to be that she has her appetite back.

Family Update: We are doing good and so looking forward to a busy summer: an adults only trip for Matt and I with friends, trips to Minnesota, visitors and hopefully a lot of pool time. We are enjoying the nice weather and getting to spend time outside and in the girls new playhouse!
