Natalie had her 12 month check-up on Monday. She weighed in at 20 lbs. even which is 50th percentile (she actually weighed a little more than that a week ago on the hospital scale) and is 29 1/2 inches tall which is 65th percentile. Her head is not quite 18 1/2 inches which is 85th percentile! She's always had a good sized noggin'! I like to go by the World Health Organization's growth charts since they are based on breastfed babies.
She is signing "all done" now in addition to the other signs she knows. She signs "more" constantly throughout the day. She has a really good appetite and seems to be addicted to bread (waffles, bagels, cheese toast, etc) and all types of fruit.
She tries to sing the "e,i,e,i,o" part of Old MacDonald when you are singing it to her. She started saying "socks" and she says "Hey Dada" all the time. Her current favorite song is The Wheels on the Bus; I started singing it a few weeks ago and it will distract her when she gets mad/upset or during a diaper change.
She has let go while standing a few times...mainly to clap her hands or if she wants to hold two things at once (one in each hand) so she has to let go of what she has been using to balance herself. I think it might be awhile still before she is walking.
