Big One Year Old

Dear Teagan:
You're practically a teenager now!!
Your birthday party was success! Except it rained. But that didn't ruin our good time!!
Lots of family & friends showed up and we had so much fun! You got sooo many neat gifts! Tons of toys and clothes!! The clothes were much needed for sure. We didn't have any 12-18 month stuff and fall is quickly approaching.
You got lots of cars and trucks and balls! Which is great since you call everything a ball lately and are constantly making vroom noises!
Mommy & Daddy got you a fourwheeler, which you LOVE!! You push the button with your thumb and just cruise right around. You even stand up to drive- just like your daddy. You just need to learn to steer now becuase you only go straight and run into everything.

We went to the pediatrician yesterday for your 12 month well check. You only gained an ounce since our visit a month ago. But you grew a 1/2 inch. You are 29.5 inches tall and you weigh 20 lbs 9 ounces!
They were a little concerned about your lack of weight gain, but I told them you've been very busy lately and that you are eating just fine.
Speaking of eating, the other night for dinner you stayed at the table for over an hour eating. You ate a whole pear, 4 slices of zucchini, 6 pickles & a 1/2 of a cheeseburger! And you could have probably stayed there all night but it was getting late. You're a very good eater lately. You eat everything and a lot of it! But you let us know when you're done eating. You throw it a on the floor and say "ut oh!"
The pediatrician said she wants you to be walking by your next appointment at 15 months! So we have to get practicing. I think you're lazy a lot of the time. She also referred us to a specialist for your eyes. She thinks your tear ducts are clogged. You're one year old and you've never had tears when you cry.
I love you to the moon & back.
Love,
Mommy
