My little happy baby turned one last week. She's been all smiles most of the time, smiley at everyone she encounters and waving hello. She really is becoming a little girl and her personality is coming through more each day. She's just recently learned how to give kisses, but usually will only give them to us at night before bed and also cuddles every soft stuffed animal you offer her especially her bunny and pooh bear. It's the cutest how affectionate she is with them.
The good news is Amélie has been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks, mainly from 8 or 9 until 6ish. She still takes two naps, usually one in the morning around 8 and another in the afternoon after lunch around 2. These last anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on the day.
Her favorite foods are definitely still strawberries, blueberries, clementines, meatballs and any kind of bread. She's also been liking shrimp and roast chicken lately though vegetables are a different story. Cubed and roasted sweet potatoes and butternut squash are okay with her, but anything green is a no go. Usually I'll try to hide some vegetables in her pasta like peas, spinach or kale, but avocado, green beans and broccoli are just swiped off her tray. I've also dropped her middle of the day milk feed and tried replacing it with whole milk, but she's not a fan of it. I just breastfeed her when she wakes up and before she goes to bed, which makes life a little bit simpler.
Amélie has been cruising all around furniture for the past couple of weeks and is becoming very good a walking around the house with her walker. I'm not sure when she'll take the leap to her first steps, but A has caught her a few times letting go and standing without holding on to anything, We'll see though, I'm not in a huge rush for her to start walking for some reason. She's just growing up too fast.
More on her first birthday party in the next post, but here are a few pictures from her actual birthday last Saturday. We all had pasta and meatballs (her fav) and carrot cake to celebrate.
