Claire Turns 1 year

Claire sitting at her usual spot. I can't believe my baby is 1. This was the fastest year of my life. She is a divine 1 year old and I am looking forward to the next year too. She is saying new words everyday. And still pretty mellow. She hadn't walked yet at 1. She could and took a couple steps once and then refused to try it again. At her doctors appointment she weighed in at 19.4 pounds and 29 inches, both in the 25th percentile. Her head was at 75%.

We think she is starting to change her looks and becoming more like she is going to be big. And even growing a little bit of wispy curly hair.

Claire loves almost every kind of food I put in front of her. And while my other kids were carb junkies she is a fruit junky. She will pick diced peaches over crackers every time. Our only problem is that she has no teeth. Not one!

One of our favorite things Claire does is a fake laugh. She will hear us all laughing about something and then do a light fake laugh to join in.  Some words she says all the time are; Eah (for Leah and Eva), mama, doggie, cat, thank you, uhoh, binki, and she gives the best kisses.

At her 1 year appointment she was 19.4 pounds in the 25th percentile for weight and height and 75% in her head. Like a true Ratchford with their huge heads.

Love this beautiful shot of her profile.  

And in true 1 year old fashion we have some fits happening. She arches her back in protest every time I put her in her crib for a nap.

Oh my goodness is she cute! It's been fun watching her grow up on that yellow chair. Happy birthday to Claire!
