We're busy with Dalton's very first day of preschool today as well as Autumn's big day but I will take her 12 month picture later. For now, here's the rest of the year...


At 12 months old Autumn still has just two teeth, she still nurses 4-5 times/24 hours, takes a couple steps to get around but isn't brave enough to go much further just yet, she says a few 'words'... all done, num-num, nuh-uh (it's more a sound she makes when you tell her "no no") and Mama. Until yesterday, she hadn't convinced me she knew what she was saying when she'd say it...but she does! She got stuck once and called for "Mama" and got hurt another time and cried for "Mama". Yay!!! Well, not yay that she got hurt, of course, yay that she calls me Mama. Separation anxiety has kicked in and she hates for me to leave her with anyone but Daddy. Her favorite toy is her brothers' old ride-on Thomas and the karaoke machine (just messing with it). She loves anything sweet to eat. She's started taking her bows out of her hair. We've lost two of them. She's still in Size 4 diapers and starting to wear some 12 month clothes.

Official stats to come later this week...
