Whitney is officially ONE, and this is what she's been doing this last month:
-Loves to try to say new words: I'm not sure which one's I've already written down in past posts, but theses are the ones she says:
"da" (dog)
"ba" (ball)
"ca" (car)
"dada" (dada)
"maa-maa" (mama.. it's my favorite!)
"du" (duck)
"bur" (bird)
"uh-oh"
"cra-cka" (cracker)
"bay-be" (baby)
"clock" (clock.. it's my second favorite)
"dat" (that)
"dis" (this)
"ber" (bear)
"basss" (bath)
"bu" (book)
"bubble" (bubble)
-Whitney takes 2 naps that are usually 1.5 hours each. Occasionally, we'll get lucky and she'll sleep for longer than 2 hours.
-Started sleeping all the way through the night (11-12 hours) without waking up. This one was painful for me, as it took a lot of work to get her to do this.
-LOVES animals. She loves going to the zoo. Whitney can spot a bird, bug or animal a long ways away. She'll start trying to name it. Usually, she won't stop saying it's name until it's out of view again.
-When we say, "Monkey!" Whitney will start to go, "Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, oooh!" Just like the monkey at the zoo.
-Whitney loves to do "Open mouth!" and open her mouth as wide as she can.
-She also loves to do, "How big is Whitney?" "So BIG!" and raise up her arms right next to her head.
-Got to travel to Texas for the first time.
-Loves to play with other kids- especially the ones just a bit older than herself.
-Tries to feed herself with a spoon and doesn't like me to put food into her mouth.
-Whitney loves spicy food. Right now she loves beans, crackers, cantaloupe, grapes, yogurt, cheese, (I just started giving her peanut butter after she turned 1... and she loves that.)
-Likes to do just what we are doing.
-Says "mmmmm" when she wants to eat or drinks something.
-Started drinking whole milk.
-Loves to clap, wave & blow kisses.
-Is barely starting to pull herself up to things.
-Army crawls.... but she's starting to crawl "normally."
-Loves to be chased and then try to chase us.
-Always wants to be "walked" around. She does the walking, but wants to hold onto our fingers.
We love you, Whitney! Happy 1 Year!

Happy one year Whitney! She is getting so old! I love her face in that last picture.
Happy Birthday Whitney! She just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
wow, sounds like she's quite the talker! What a smarty-pants. She'll probably be some world famous biologist or zoologist or maybe just vet. :)
