Well it came and went. Calleigh had her 1st Birthday and it was a great one! We had a little get together at Hubby's the night before. Her actually birtday we had a nice little dinner at home and she had a birthday cupcake!

At her 1 year doctors appointment she had to of course get some shots but the thing that made her the most mad was the head measuring. She hates things on her head. Her doctor of course told us what we already new she was going to say. Calleigh is underweight. She is almost 18 pounds and apparently for a 1 year old that puts her in the 5th percentile. Although she is skinny she has no problems eating. She is not picky just busy. My mom said the same thing about me when I was little. The doctor told me to give her pediasure. Which she does not like. So we just decided to keep going the way we have been. She is going to be slow at gaining weight but as long as she doesn't loose it I don't have a problem. She is a very healthy and active little girl!

If you didn't notice she is walking! She has been since the beginning of her 11th month but has really taking off these last 3 weeks. All she wants to do these days is play outside. She finally is saying "mama" again but only when she is upset about something. Otherwise everyone is "dada" She understands directions very well. She knows what no means and sometimes thinks it is funny. Especially when she walks over to the wine glasses, looks right at me, smiles and then bang! They make such a pretty sound! She is still going through the hitting mommy stage. Not as much as she use to but still enough that it hurts my feelings :( I know every mom gets this treatment. She is just testing her boundaries.

We think Calleigh is growing up to be such a beautiful, fun little girl. We are still enjoying every minute of this whole parenting thing (even when we think we are not!) It can be overwhelming and exhausting at times but it is all worth it. Especially when you get a big, wet open mouthed kiss! Those make it all worth it!
