Anne clearly said yesterday "It's hockey!"
Opa has a MN Wild calendar and various pictures in his office, so he's been teaching Anne where to point when asked "Where's hockey?" She's a good pointer, and last night she said "It's hockey" as clear as any adult. All the sounds were present: "h" "ck" and "ee" Genius, I tell you!
I also never gave the run-down of the 1-year well-baby visit:
Weight: 21 lbs, 11 oz (that's 1 lb per month since birth)
Height: 30.5 inches (2 and a half feet; they say a child reaches half his/her adult height by the age of 2, so Anne might be 5 feet tall, plus double whatever she grows in the next year)
Head size: again, off the chart. "Do you cry yourself to sleep on your giant pillow?"
Dr. S. said Anne's verbal skills are "advanced" and her fine motor skills are excellent. She's a bit slow with the gross motor stuff, but she is getting better every day. She got 4 shots and had an X-ray of her hips done just to rule out any problems there (related to her walking). They're fine, she's fine, everybody's fine. She's a happy, healthy girl.
If you were to ask Anne what the best part of being 1 is, I bet she'd tell you "peanut butter" Holy cow, she likes the pb on toast. I think we need to move to a first-course, second-course kind of dinner service, because she'll eat all the peanut butter, drink all her milk, and turn up her nose at any vegetables or meat. And just like that {snap!} we have entered toddlerhood.

welcome to the joy of feeding a toddler! But here is the fun part at 1 they don't eat stuff because there are unsure of the new things. At two they don't eat stuff just because, and that may include their favorites. At three they will try most things because they want to and if they don't want to you can just tell them they have to. We have a standing rule at our house, one bite of everything goes in and down the hatch. If they don't like it then that is it until we have it next time and then one bite all over again. Good luck:-)
Confirmation of best baby ever.
