Some things to remember about her at this age:
*For a month or two now, she folds her arms for every prayer she is present at, without hardly any prompting from mom or dad.
*She has weaned herself off her binky! When she had croup a bit ago, she was so congested that a binky just made things worse. Ever since then, she won't take it. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about that development.
*She still takes 2 naps; a morning and an afternoon nap.
*She is not walking, and not really showing any signs that she has any plans to in the near future. As far as I can remember, both Miles and Gwen were either walking or really close to it by now. Lindy can stand no problem, and cruise along with no problem, but she never chooses to stand if she can sit. We've tried to get her to walk a few times and she's not really into it, although I think she is physically capable.
*She is done nursing! Hoorah!! I like to be done nursing by the time the year mark comes around, although by that point, they are only nursing once a day. I really tried to savor the last nursing with Lindy, but I'm glad to be done.
*She loves to growl at you. At first it was just a playful thing, and sometimes it still is, but now she also growls to show her dominance or to show she's angry about something.
*She laughs whenever other people are laughing, like she totally understands what's going on.
*She says "Mama" and "bah-bah" with a wave for bye-bye. If you ask her to blow kisses, she'll suck on her fingers. She signs "all-done" and "more" although to her "more" just basically means "food".
*She has 6 teeth, and I feel like she's been cutting a bunch more for a long time now, but none have poked through yet.
*Her favorite song to get her all calmed down for naps and night time is "Edelweiss" from "Sound of Music".
*At her year check up, she was still in the 99% for her head circumference, but in a surprising turn of events, she is only in the 71% for height and weight! This means she is the smallest Garner baby yet. None of our kids have ever been below 80% in anything, so I was kind of shocked! Ha!
Throughout this past week I kept trying to get that "one shot" that would represent her first birthday, but I don't ever think I got it. Instead here's about a million attempts. Also a picture or two of our celebration. It is Grandma Garner's birthday this week also, so we had everyone over for pot luck dinner. Lindy didn't have a clue about what was going on that day, but she did get lots of extra attention and I think she felt special. We let her eat 2 healthified cupcakes all by herself, which she loved. Miles and Gwen helped her open a few presents. She had a #1 pancake that morning where we tried to let her practice blowing out the candle, but she was mostly scared of it.
Happy Birthday Miss Lindy June!
