One Year Old

I cannot believe it......Fiona is ONE YEAR OLD today. It has gone so fast. Here is Fiona's an update to her list of accomplishments:

crawling like a maniac
insisting on finger foods while she is being fed
a pro at drinking from the straw cup (although she still flicks it when we aren't watching)
talking up a storm
pulling up
chasing cats and dogs
making music with metal bowls
making music with her music toys
getting good air on her toys
still eating everything she is not supposed to
trying to crawl down the stairs
outlets
crawling under tables
bringing blankie out of crib
pooing acid that burns her butt
not napping at daycare
possible latex allergy or sensitivity

We have slowed down on the food additions but have added whole wheat pasta, green bean chunks (which she loves but give her gas), avocado chunks, puffs (LOVES LOVES LOVES these), squash. I have wanted to add more things but she has a raw butt so I don't want to try until that clears up.

Fiona goes for her one year appointment tomorrow. I am fully confident we will be placed on the failure to thrive list due to her weight but I am not that worried. I think she has started to gain more weight in the past week or 2 and I know her appetite just shot up last week so she is taking in more calories now. I also know the addition of milk and its fats as well as cheese and yogurt will help with the weight. She is just soooo active that she has no desire to eat sometimes, especially if we are in an unfamiliar place (she just gets too distracted).

She is meeting all the developmental milestones that I would expect, is healthy, happy, and has regular diaper activity. I know the weight will come in time but I think she will just be a slender baby (and CUTE).
