12 month update

Evie went to the Dr's on Thursday for her 12 month check up. She is weighing in at 24 pounds, 31.5 inches and is in the 93rd percentile. She is completely healthy and the Dr is very happy with her progress. We are going to start switching her to a sippy cup (not working that great so far) and putting her to bed on her own. She was a great sleeper until she got strep throat, which caused us to spoil her - I would lay down with her in our bed to get her to go to sleep and then brian would move her to the crib. If she woke in the middle of the night I would lay with her in the spare bed. We both loved this sooo much but I once I go back to work this is not going to work so we are trying to get our good sleeper back. We have been putting her down at 8 and letting her cry it out- so far 30 minutes has been the longest but it broke my heart!
Evie is attempting to crawl but really just wants to walk. We think she is just going to get up one day and start running. She can pull herself up to standing but can't figure out how to sit back down. She is babbling up a storm and we can understand a few words- momma, dada, uh-oh, wow and Hi. I swear she said kitty cat the other day but could just be wishful thinking. She has 6 teeth and has 4 more pushing through. The teething causes some fussing but overall Evie is always smiling, willing to cuddle with anyone, and just a happy toddler!
