Lakelyn is ONE- 12 month summary

This is UNREAL! I mean she literally was just conceieved and just born yesterday! It's impossible for her to be one already! Ah, my sweet, sweet baby girl!

At 12 months old Lakelyn can do everything a baby her age should be able to do including:

• walk holding onto furniture (cruise) 
• use a few gestures to get needs met

 

She can also do everything a baby her age will probably be able to do including:

• play patty-cake (clap) or wave bye-bye (most kids should be doing this by 13 months)
• drink from a cup independently
• pick up a tiny object neatly with thumb and forefinger (pincher grasp - many babies don't develop this until nearly 15 months)
• stand alone momentarily
• saying "dada" or "mama" discriminately (she for sure knows those words mean us! Most babies will be able to do at least one of these words by 14 months)
• says other words than "dada" or "mama" ("what's that?" all day, every day)

 

Lakelyn can do a couple of the things a baby her age may possibly be able to do including:

• "play ball" (roll a ball back to you) she also likes to throw them. (many don't accomplish this until 16 months)
• use immature margining (gibberish baby talk - most don't do this until after their first birthday and many don't until they are around 15 months)
• stand alone well
• walk well

 

Lakelyn can do all things that a baby her age may even be able to do :

• can respond to a one-stop command without gestures such as "give that to me" without a hand out. (Most children will not reach this stage until after their first birthday, many not until after 16 months)
• say three or more words other than "mama" or "dada" (a good half of babies won't read this stage until 13 months and may not until 16 months)

 

• After 12 months she still LOVES the water
• Still loves the dogs
• loves to ride or swing as long as she does not have to be in a carseat
• has so much personality and attitude
• she will make the funniest faces
• talks baby and makes funny noises with her mouth all day long
• loves to be outside
• eats dogfood
• loves to drive

• she is starting to be very clingy to me, wants me to hold her all of the time and cries if I walk out of the room
• cries if you don't feed her fast enough
• does not like the carseat

 The dictionary does not have enough words to describe what I feel for this little girl! She is sweet, funny, crazy, full of sass and attitude, and she is my whole world! I love you baby girl more than you will ever know!
