She: >Still only has one tooth, on the bottom left, and thankfully the sleeping has gone back to normal for now. >For awhile when she was actively teething she whined a lot and it sounded like a howl – aaaeeeeee, aaaoooooo. >Got her hair cut, as previously documented. >Points like crazy. It’s the first thing she does when she wakes up, and it’s her primary way of communicating. To her it means everything – Look at that! I want that! Hi! I like you! I’m awake! I’m here!

She: >Was totally not in the mood for this photoshoot. It’s kind of a miracle it happened at all. >Wears 12-18 month clothes now, and we won’t buy anything smaller than 18 months because of her rapidly expanding thighs. If only they were as cute on me as they are on her. >Still waves sometimes, but she’s more into pointing these days. >Plays with her hair for comfort (see above picture). >Stands! And cruises! She got hold of a stable walking toy the other day at her grandparents’ house and walked across two rooms. Maybe she’ll be walking by her first birthday after all. >Is resisting going to sleep at night more and more. On the nights that we are…
