One Year Old Stats!!

Lola,

I can't believe you are already one!  This year has flown by!  You are a blessing to our family, and the icing on the cake.  You are so fun these days, and there really is not a shy bone in your body!  You wave and smile at everyone you see.  You are constantly babbling and are pretty good at communicating what you want.  You can say "ma ma" and "da da" some what, and you love to shake your head YES!  You can also say "mine"!  (I bet I know where you learned that word!)  You are in to everything and pulling up.  You can stand alone and are beginning to take a few steps.  You can crawl really fast and love to go up the stairs!  If we put you in your walker, you are a nascar driver!  :)  You still love the water, and the pool is your new favorite thing!  YOU LOVE YOUR PACI!  You hide them at every turn!  You are wearing a size 4 diaper and 18 month clothing.  Your foot is still tiny - a size 2-3!  You still only have 4 teeth but that doesn't stop you.  You LOVE to eat!  REAL food is your favorite!  You will eat most anything we give you.  I haven't found anything you will turn away.  You are still drinking your bottle and refuse to give it up.  You throw the cup at me when we give it to you especially if it has milk inside!  You are beginning to drink some juice from a cup.  Your bottle must go soon, and in a few weeks we will be taking you off of your soy formula!  We will try regular milk first hoping we don't have to continue with soy!  You recently went for your one year old check-up.  Here are your stats:
Weight:  23 lbs.  (75th percentile -You are catching up with big sister Lily!)
Length:  29 1/2 (75th percentile)
Head Circumference:  18 1/4 (90th percentile - You get this from your daddy!)

We love you very much and can't wait to see what you do next!

Let the Party Begin!

We celebrated Lola Jewel's first birthday on Saturday, June 25 at our house.  We had a fun day with family and friends!  Here are some pictures from our day!












 Big sisters are waiting patiently for the party to begin!  :)

Lola's friend Scarlett came to play, and Miss Brooke from daycare came too!  As people began to arrive, Lola got very clingy and quiet!  She didn't know what to think about all of the excitement.  Pretty soon though she wound up!

Lunch time!  Lola enjoyed chicken and cheese!



Now it is cake time!!  "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!..."










 Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rodger came...
 Mallory, Magill, and Molly...

 Mrs. Amelia and Mr. Seth came too!  Lily hung out with them and found the cupcakes!


Present time!!  :)  Lola had many helpers!


 Grandmother and Aub gave you a big water table!!

 Mama, Daddy, Lyla, and Lily gave you your very own chair!!

 You were so excited that you walked to Mama!!!  This was your first time to take 3-4 steps by yourself!!  We were so proud of you!



While Lola napped, the "BIG" girls and boys played with bubbles and such outside!





After Lola's nap, the girls played with "their" new water table.  They had a fun time!!



What a great day to celebrate your first birthday, Lola!
