Here is an update for Natalie at 1 year!  (Sorry I missed the 11 month post - been so busy!)

• Points and says "mooa" for more
• Plays peek-a-boo and patty cake
• Had a chemical burn from Pampers Cruisers and switched to Huggies diapers

• Squats when she does her "business"
• First two teeth starting to come in the week of her birthday! (on the bottom)
• When she's tired, she'll grab mom's wrist and pull it towards her face..She'll then plant her cheek in the palm of mom's hand and close her eyes. So sweet.
• Pediatrician thinks she may be lactose intolerant. We will reintroduce dairy one product at a time to see.
• Had to stop bottle-feeding cold turkey a week before her birthday.  She didn't even miss it!

• Can dance dance dance :)
• Does not like to get her hands dirty as indicated by her 1st birthday party (barely touched the cake)..
• Very clingy to mama
• When playing with her toy phone, she babbles now instead of saying "hi"..she will also babble like she's singing when mama sings
• Likes to hold two or more pacifiers swap them
