All About Alexa at 12 Months!!

I can't believe that one year ago, I was checking into the hospital and getting ready for my induction to start first thing on Sept. 9th. I was so nervous... Would it hurt? Would I be able to do it? Would our baby be OK? Would she really be a she? I was not at all prepared for the moment I heard her cry and realized that the "bean" in my belly was the most amazing, wonderful, beautiful little baby in the world.

Although it was certainly love at first sight, getting to know our little girl over this past year has got us head over heels for her. The way she smiles all the time, claps her hands, tries to feed you her crackers before pulling them back, toddles around the room, grabs onto your leg, jumps in to your arms... She is absolutely the most amazing creature ever!


All About our Adorable Alexa at 12 Months!
  • Big news first -- She's walking! Alexa took her first steps about a week into her 11th month. She still crawls from time to time, but she is definitely walking more than crawling now!
  • As you all know, she can waive goodbye and clap! And her NEWEST trick... She can blow kisses goodbye too!
  • She pushes her walker around and puts things into the bucket in front!
  • She can roll her ball... AND throw it too! Little throw. We're working on it.
  • Still enjoys playing Peek-a-boo with us and Hide and Seek!
  • Loves pushing buttons that make music or sounds when pressed.
  • Has a new best friend... Her dog puppet, who she calls "dog" and is starting to take with her everywhere.
  • Says "Uh" when she drops something... As in, "Uh-oh!" She just doesn't have the "oh" part yet!
  • LOVES animals! Still likes dogs the best, but gets excited when she sees any animal. She really liked the elephants at the zoo!
  • Is getting more teeth! One top tooth has broken through and another is on its way. Plus, her molars are also coming in...
  • Weighs around 20 pounds, so she wears most 6-12 month outfits, 9-12 is good, the 12-months stuff is mostly too big but she's growing into them!
