Other 12-month developments

• She has eight teeth now, two just came in this month
• No sicknesses this month, though she did have a random, unexplained 102 degree fever for two days.
• She has fully transitioned to whole milk. It wasn't necessarily easy (we had to slowly ease her tummy into it), but I'm thankful it went as well as it did.
  
• She finally started drinking from the take-along sippie cups. We've tried everything to get her off the straw ones but she had refused until this weekend.
• At her party she REFUSED to eat her cake in front of everyone. After they all left of course, she dug in!
• She had a blast blast blast playing with her cousins during her birthday weekend.
• She loves walking behind her push toys.
• She still kicks her legs like crazy when you take her out of her bath
• She eats all kinds of big-people food -- and loves it all! Watching her pick up and eat English peas is hilarious!
• She loves to pick up a book and give it to you to read. Her favorites are Elmo's colors, Baby Signs (She loves books and movies about sign language, although she still doesn't do even one sign. I mean it's her favorite book -- go figure), and she likes for me to make animal noises while looking through her touch and feel animal book. She also likes this Little People book with little flip-ups in it.
• Sometimes if I look at her and laugh, she laughs back...love it!
• She points to eyes, hair, and toes. She use to point to my nose when she was nine months, but that was SO last month that she refuses to do it now.
• Sometimes I think she's trying to give me kisses, but I'm not actually so sure about that.
• She calls balloons and books "aba." No other words other than mama and the rare dada,though.
• She loves yogurt so much she cries when it's all gone.
• Her favorite restaurant is Locos -- she loves the quesadillas.
• She had developed a sudden interest in stuffed animals...she grabs them and holds them against her face and giggles.
