Happy Birthday Tuolumne Song! I am proud of you and love you! I think we can both be glad you never have to lay on this blanket again and take pictures:)

- you eat everything! i LOVE this! we don't make separate kid meals or baby food. we make sure we are eating a good diet and therefore you and cap both eat great nutritious meals. bonus for me is that i make and clean up one meal each time.
- you like the bathroom and the tub in particular. you bang on the door if you know someone is in there and you want inside.
- when we are outside you crawl on your hands and feet not your knees. it has made you very strong!
- you smile at everyone and people stop OFTEN to talk to you. you don't want to jump in their arms or anything but you are becoming more social for sure.
- when i get you out of your crib you pat me on the back several times just like i do to you:)
- 2 weeks ago i was about ready to put you in full time undies...then you went on a potty strike
- best predictable sleeping month so far! 4 hours total of napping and 12 hours at night. thank you!
- you have been sneaking drinks of your brothers camelback water bottle and would not use your sippy cup, now you have your own camelback.
- we had been hiding the stairs from you until one day i went to find you and you were half way up ours!!! mom oops, but boy was i so proud!
- you are definitely my daughter, wild and free
- even though you love stroller rides, you still aren't a huge fan of shopping carts. you would rather me wear you.
- you go down the slide by yourself
- 29 3/4 inches long, 85%
- 22.10 lbs, 85%
- you signed "dog" at the zoo when we saw the giraffes, you are starting to really like the zoo!
- you devoured your birthday cake!
- your 8th tooth was officially poked out the day you turned 1
- we started to teach you "no", i will say it was accidental even though we talked about how the day was near. you threw your water bottle after i said no and i pinched you without giving it a second thought just like i would have done with cap. you pretty much lost it. you definitely understand no now!
