twelve months

Harlow is twelve months old- May 8, 2013

A picture to document her ever-so-thin blonde hair, and her scream she gives when she's told no.

Hudson came in with a plate of pancakes and Harlow was all over him. Followed his every move, never taking her eyes off the pancakes. He left the room and she gave out a good wail of a cry.

-hasn't spit up since she stopped drinking bottles

-loves milk from a sippy and anything that's in her brothers' cups

-she blows kisses and does it with force

-she loves to go to bed and immediately grabs for a do-do and bumper tie

-she sleeps on her back 90% of the time

-walks like a pro and practically runs, get her outside and she runs wild and loves it

-is a drama queen! if she wants something she can't have she will cry immediately and not stop until she gets it

-if you scold her, she gets a pouty lip and looks for someone else to tell on you

-she has a mark on her nose that the doctor says is an inverted oil gland and will go away on it's own

-she bites her crib and has made teeth mark and gauges, pretty much ruined the entire front bar

-loves to eat and eats alot! if you share with her, you get none

-already loves to play on my phone and knows how to unlock it and touch with her fingers

-if you're holding her, she is inevitably pinching your arm or neck without even realizing it

-she looks adorable in summer clothes!!

-at first loved baths with her brothers, now hates it and wants to be in there alone

-climbs onto and into everything, daycare says they've never seen anything like it

-if she's mad, she'll scream at you

-likes to tease people by not giving them kisses

-she had a terrible week of teething (i teeth) but never got any teeth (still 6)

-to mommy's delight, doesn't mind wearing shoes anymore and even lifts her foot to put them on

-was a very good patient at her 12 month check up, cooperated with everything the nurse and doctor wanted to do and smiled her way through it, until the shots

-undoubtedly still loves her mommy more than anything

I can't believe this beautiful baby is ONE YEAR OLD!! She is a ball of mischief and sweetness all rolled into one adorable little girl. Mommy loves you Miss Harlow Mae Josephine!
