12 month stats

This is almost a month overdue, but I need to record her stats so I don't forget them. At Abigail's one year checkup she was 16 lbs 14 oz and 28 1/4 inches tall. Abby is still in the first percentile, but she is staying on her growth curve. The doctor suggested we give her vitamins, since she is a picky eater. We are always trying new food with her to see how she likes them. She has days when she eats a lot and other days when she doesn't want to do much with food. She would rather play. Abigail has discovered playing with her food is a lot of fun. Once she starts playing in it, rubbing it all over, and throwing it on the floor; we end meal time. :) Life has become more fun as we have a toddler in the house. Here are some facts about her development and daily life.
*wearing size 2-3 Swaddler diapers
*wearing size 6-9 month clothes. (Some 9 month clothes fit her now!)
*loves to walk, takes some steps on her own (Today she took 21 in a row, unassisted.)

She is so absolutely dear Kim. Thanks for keeping us all updated on your little Abby! I love seeing her pictures and hearing all about her and you and David. I love getting to see my cousin be a daddy!

I am praying for your little girl to gain weight and progress well, it sounds like she has the best mommy helping her in this area! :)
