She has been spending a lot of time working on her gross motor skills (I guess she doesn't want to fail her 12-month checkup like she did her 9-month). She can pull herself up and even stand unsupported, although she gets scared once she realizes I'm not holding on. The video will give you an idea because she immediately starts looking for my hand.
No new words, but you can tell she understands a lot. She looks to what we're talking about and is very good at communicating what she wants by pointing and saying, "That!"
She loves the dogs and kisses them by puckering her lips.
She is eating three meals a day and two snacks, but still likes to nurse the most. She found a sweet she liked today: The Tuggys gave her an unfrosted Valentine's sugar cookie that she liked munching on. Otherwise, cheese, eggs, squeeze pouch fruits and veggies, and juice or water are her favorite foods. Although she has enjoyed her chicken burgers the past couple days.
One thing I haven't mentioned before is that she's a blanky baby. We're lucky that we had so many talented friends make her blankets (Sharman Armstrong, Carolyn Fu, Katey Axtell, the Murrell Family, Katrien Tuggy) and give her blankets (Aunt Laurie, the Seale Family, the Carnese Family) because Evelynd will carry around one all day. Sometimes two. Once three. She knows which one she wants, too, and will look for it until she finds it.
She has four teeth and I think the molars are starting to come in.
The one complaint I have: she doesn't sleep! On a really tired day we get twelve hours between night and naps. More usual is 9-10 hours between night and naps.
We spent today at the Kids Club where a boy about her age looked at her and very gently hugged her. It was very cute. Then we had lessons and came home to play. She is such a joy!
