Vaden is 1!

 We celebrated Vaden's 1st birthday a couple weeks ago.  It is hard to believe she is already 1!  She has gotten so big.

 Vaden's stats:

Weight: 21 lbs. 8 oz. (75%)

Height: 30.5 inches (90%)

Head Circumference: 18 inches (72%)

Some of her favorite things to do are:

 Climb stairs!

She loves to climb things and is always crawling at full speed to the stairs anytime we leave the gate open.  She also starts to climb faster anytime we go to get her.  She just laughs the whole time.

 Eating!

Yes, our little girl loves food!  She gets so upset if she sees anyone eating and she doesn't get any.  Even if she has had all of her dinner, she can still eat more.

 She loves attention!

She loves to have people play with her and hold her. She is still very much a cuddler.  She is usually happy to let anyone hold her, though she prefers her mom.  She has started crying anytime she see me leave, but she usually calms down as soon as someone holds and cuddles her.

 Asher!

She gets along great with her big brother.  She loves to be entertained my him.  She doesn't like when he tackles her or tries to ride her when she is crawling though.  But for some reason I get the feeling that Vaden is going to be the ring leader in getting them into trouble.

 Playing!

Vay just loves to play.  She loves climbing all over her toys and learning how to play with new toys.  She is pretty good to play by herself (until Asher bugs her).

 

Walking!

She can't walk on her own yet, but she pulls herself up on thing and walks while holding on.  She loves to hold on to our hands and walk whenever we let her.  She still crawls to get around on her own and is getting pretty fast.

Happy Birthday Vaden!

 

Opening presents from Grandma!  Thank you to both sets of grandparents for sending Vaden birthday wishes and gifts.

 

Vaden is usually a pretty happy baby.  She still isn't sleeping through the night though which doesn't make me very happy:)   She still wakes up once.

 

 Vaden has 4 teeth now.  Her top 2 teeth just came in a few weeks ago to join her bottom 2:)  Of course this is bad news for Asher because she is a biter!  Whenever she gets mad she will make a sort of muffled scream sound and try to bite whoever is in her way.  She's gotten Asher a few times.  Of course, Asher never learns and keeps getting in the way.  He is usually just trying to play with her and doesn't realize he's making her mad.  Though she keeps it fair by occasionally biting herself on accident! 

 She is getting bigger and better at everything she does.  She likes to turn the lights off, climb the slide, take baths, be outside, wreck Asher's block towers and train tracks (she makes a great Vayzilla!), watching other kids, take baths some more, play at the pool, and cuddle.  We love our little girl and are so glad she is in our family.  She is the perfect friend for Asher and the perfect baby for Ryan and me.
