1 Month from One!

Annie is almost a whole year old! When we met someone new at the park this week, she asked me how old my girls were. I paused and then said, "This one (referring to Annie) will be one next month." Could it really be?
Here are the new fun things Annie has learned in her 10th month of life:

• Says "Moo" when she sees a picture of a cow (or a horse).
• Took her first ride on a swing the end of March
• Cruises/walks along everything to the extent that she even climbs the walls. She also loves walking around while holding onto my fingers (not so good for my back, but Annie gets a thrill from it).
• Unbelievably quick at climbing stairs. She knows the stairs are dangerous and she always looks back when she starts climbing with a little mischievous grin on her face.
• Her third and fourth teeth popped out! she now has two on the bottom and two on top!
• She loves dancing to the music. Whenever she presses the buttons on her musical toys, she starts swaying back and forth.
• When we ask her if she wants a snack, she clicks her mouth and starts smacking her tongue against the roof of her mouth. She's always ready for a snack!
• If she hears the word, "No," she'll start shaking her head. (we have this one on video because it's really cute).
• Recently she started throwing food on the floor from her tray that she doesn't want to eat. Yesterday it was green beans that I had to sweep up after meal time.
• And the most exciting milestone of all......... She slept through the night!!!!! A whopping 10 hours straight of glorious shut-eye! 6am rolled around and Will was so worried that he went to check on her and woke her up. Oops.
  

And for your delight, some pictures from this month!
