Blakely's 12 month traits

Better late than never right? Since Blakely is on the down side of 12 months and quickly approaching 13 months, I thought I better jot down what she's currently up to!

Blakely is really coming into her own! Her little personality is shinning through more and more these days. (I say that all the time) She keeps us on our toes and she is always teaching us how to be better people. Her little spirit is so strong and special, we are so blessed to be her parents. She is pretty much the sweetest, smartest and most beautiful person I know!


Loves to dance and her moves evolve everyday. It started with a head bob, then squatting, then arms in the air, then twisting her hips, and as of late a little bounce. (same movement to any beat)
Loves music (dances to everything-even the hymns)
Packs around our phones and listens to the music on them
Turning into a little teaser
Loves her motorcycle
Loves to drink a lot of water (unless it's super cold)
Drinks from a straw-mostly mommy's big Camelbak bottle
Is obsessed with the dogs and chatters with in a high pitch voice. She pets Brutus and attacks and tackles Boog. ( she thinks she's hilarious)
Carries purses around all day (or anything that has a strap)
Walking like a little pro! She rarely falls and when she does it ticks her right off!
Is pretty much done with ALL baby food and primarily eats regular stuff. She eats really good and tries everything. (even onions, peppers, avocado)
Drinks a morning and evening bottle of COW milk:)
Sleeping okaaay...current situations are kinda messing her sleep up
Talking all day long!
Nods "Yes" and "No"
Just got a new car seat that is front facing, yay! (she LOVES it! The first time she rode in it she was so excited)
Loves to swim
Wanders the house all day long and makes little messes EVERYWHERE!
Says: "mama", "dada", "Ya", "Hi", "Uh Oh"
Sings to herself
Prefers anything to play with that isn't an ACTUAL toy
Learning to play with "friends" and cousins
Loves to go up and down stairs (thinks she can go up and down like adults...ummm no)
Loves to open and close doors all day....seriously...ALL DAY!
Impatient with reading books ( I rarely get through an entire book with her)
Enough hair for a pony that she rips out. Plus she won't let me put headbands on her anymore so I make sure her clothes are girly:)
Has 11 teeth and bites (8 Incisors, 3 Molars, and working on her lower left molar)
Understands everything! She actually listens and follows directions, it's crazy!
She has to go out every morning and watch Daddy leave for work and wave. She's just learning how to blow kisses.
She will sometimes give kisses when you ask. She likes kissing daddy more than mommy:( She makes a cute little "kissy" noise by smacking her lips.
She is trying to RUN! She runs with open arms to Daddy when he gets home at night. It's heart melting.
 
Life with Blakely is busy, exhausting, exciting, fulfilling, happy, messy, hot, sticky, loud, rewarding, and the best life ever. We love her so so much!!
