For the Record

I saw one of my friends did this list for her little boy that just turned 1.  I thought it was such a good idea, and I haven't been really good at writing down Lily's milestones.
 
Sleep:  you sleep about 11 hours each night, and go to bed anywhere between 7:30 and 8:30.  You're down to one nap, but it is a killer nap, usually lasting 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  We're currently getting rid of the bottle, but you still get your binkie, but in your crib only.  I just can't yank the bottle and binkie at one time, but the bink will be gone soon enough.
 
Eating:  despite what most people think, you eat A LOT.  For breakfast you really like blueberry waffles with apricots, or yogurt and toast.  Lunch is a reliable Easy Mac, but you also really love green beans and cheese.  For dinner, you love to sample whatever mommy and daddy are eating.  You really love tomatoes, avacado, asparagus, peaches, bananas, cake, and ice cream, but chocolate gives you a really bad tummy ache where you're up all night.
 
Transportation:  you're a walking maniac!  About a week ago you really got the idea that walking gets you to where you want to go a lot faster than crawling.  You love to chase after your cousins even though you can't ever catch up to them.  You also think you're a mountain climber and attempt to get up onto and off of just about anything.  You can get off the couch all by yourself, but mommy and daddy's bed has too far of a drop, and that scares you a little bit.  
 
Talk:  you say "mama" and "dada" and your only real word is "dance" which you love to do.  You also say "datttt" all the time, but I don't think you're saying "that".  You love to talk on the phone, and will hold the phone to your ear, have a conversation, and walk around like you're a teenager.  That's a little overwhelming to see!
 
Teeth: You've got four on the top and two on bottom.  You usually do ok while teething, we just have one bad night where you can't sleep and magically in the morning there's a tooth!  You love to bite into things, but thankfully just food and an occasional bite on your crib!
