Our little girl is 1!

Yes, I know I am a little late on this post, as our little peanut is 12.5 months old! I blame this procrastination on our week long trip up the west coast, which I will blog about later.

On March 31, 2010, God gave Blaine and I the most amazing gift in the world, our baby girl, Kenley Olivia Clark! At birth, Kenley weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 18.5 inches long. 

Kenley, a few days old!

Today we had Kenley's 12 month old well baby check up. She weighs 17 lbs. 7 oz (3rd % ile) and is 29 inches long (50th % ile). She is for sure a little peanut! 

Within the last few months/weeks Kenley has learned and grown so much. Below are some of the things she is doing, as well as activities she enjoys:

• She is completely off pureed baby foods;
• She is beginning to take a few steps;
• Points at everything she sees;
• Her favorite word is dog. When we go on our walks she has to point at every dog she sees and yell DOG...DOG;
• She still loves to play peek-a-boo;
• Drinks out of a cup and from a straw;
• Claps, waves bye bye, gives kisses, blows kisses, gives high fives;
• Understands the meaning of no and shakes her head to indicate no;
• Says, "mama, dadda" and associates us with these words;
• She is still experiencing stranger anxiety;
• Is able to follow simple commands (i.e., get a book and come sit in mommy's lap);
• Her favorite foods are: blueberries, peas, cheese and turkey sticks;
• She loves to read books. When I get home from work we always read for at least 15 to 20 minutes. I think we read approximately 40 books a day. 
• She enjoys riding on her Winnie-the-Pooh mobile;
• She is saying 8 words: ball, book, Max, bubba, dog, mamma, dadda and no!

We love you Kenley!
