Scarlett Grace: 1 Year

I can't believe that my baby is already a year old!
It was a very busy year and flew by.

Scarlett still isn't the best sleeper.
We had hoped that once she weaned it would be better, but she still wakes up at least once a night.
The only plus is that Kyle helps if she wakes up in the first half of the night.
So now I at least get some nights where I don't have to wake up.

She has a wonderful personality and people are always telling us what a happy baby she is.
Scarlett loves people, especially other children.
She thinks her cousins are the best.

    

 Scarlett has been enjoying emptying her toy bins and re-filling them.
She also enjoys emptying all the bookshelves, hers and ours.
And she especially loves taking all the soda cans out of the boxes and putting them into others. 
Scarlett also likes her books and her dog that sings. 
She is great at entertaining herself and quite content to play with her toys as long as we're nearby.

Scarlett loves to talk, and while a lot of it is still babbling she does have a few words.
She can say "mama" and "dada".
The second she hears Kyle come in the door she starts saying "dada" and crawling to him.
She can also say "hi" and waves or blows kisses.
Scarlett has loved music from the very beginning and loves to sing.
She sings "ashes, ashes" (Ring Around the Rosie) and "up a-bu da" (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star).

Scarlett loves to eat.
I am so thankful we chose to do Baby Led Weaning with her.
Lately she only wants to eat something if we eat it first.
She loves pancakes, french fries, homemade popsicles, and frosted cheerios.
She gets very upset when she finishes eating something she was enjoying.
