Stats:
No pediatrician appointment this month, but I would guess that Miss Adalee weighs around 21 pounds and measures around 28 inches long. She is in size four diapers and wears all 12 month clothes. Still no teeth - not even a little itty bitty one! I am sure one will come in soon enough - for now, we will just enjoy her "gummy" smiles! :)
Eating:
Miss Adalee is still still taking 4 formula bottles a day - usually 5 or so ounces each - but has started drinking more and more water from her sippy cup at meal time. She has even started drinking formula from her sippy cup too! She is still eating lots of baby cereal, veggies, fruits, and meats, but she has also started transitioning to eating some table food for dinner with Mom and Dad. We have also started offering more structured snacks between meals - usually some Gerber Puffs, which she loves! She is beginning to figure out how to feed herself with her hands, and is getting better at it every day!

Sleeping:
Miss Adalee is still an amazing sleeper. She usually starts to get tired around 7:00pm, and after a few minutes of finding a comfortable position in her crib, she falls to sleep without any problems. She still loves to sleep next to her giraffe, stroking the giraffe's foot while sucking her thumb until she falls asleep. There are always a few nights here and there that Miss Adalee wakes up, but usually after a few minutes of love from Mom or Dad, she goes back to sleep. We call those her "nightmare" nights, because it seems like she just gets a little scared and needs to be reassured that Mom and Dad are nearby.
Playing:
One of my favorite things about Miss Adalee growing up is how active she has become! Now that she is on the move, she has become so much fun to play with. She continues to work on her crawling skills - she is still mostly an army crawler, but has gotten up on her hands and knees a few times! She has also started to stand fairly well if she is able to hold on to someones hands or a piece of furniture. She has also started to clap, particularly when she is really proud of herself! :)
