Here she is. The photo is sort of anticlimactic. I was hoping the last one would be really great, but Eleanor was feeling a bit like a little crabcake for the photo shoot, and I refused to subject both of us to another one. Still, she looks quite adorable, and I'm just lucky she's not blurry. Man, one-year-olds can really move!
Here's what she's up to:- Crawling and cruising all over the place. (No sign of a walking yet.)
- Eating everything we eat. From her own plate. With her own fork. When she wants to. End of discussion.
- Saying lots of words. The current favorite is "Uh-oh." There have been lots of on-purpose drops just so she can excitedly exclaim her new favorite saying. She also says, "Momma", "Dadd-yyyyy", "cat", "duck", "ball", "book", "up". She says "hi", but only in a whisper voice. So funny.
- And some party tricks- blowing kisses, waving, clapping, etc. You know the ones I'm talking about.
We went in for her one-year check-up. She kept dropping her pacie and exclaiming, "Uh-oh!" until the doctor acknowledged her. When he did, she clapped wildly for herself. That kid.
She also now realizes that the doctor's office is the doctor's office, and screamed like a maniac as soon as she heard the nurse's voice. What a good memory!
She weighs 20lbs., 12oz. (50th %-ile) and is 28 3/4 inches tall (25th %-ile).

Happy Birthday, Eleanor!
That's a cute dress, too.
Love, love the 1 yr. picture!! Hope her checkup was good!! Precious dress!!
Wow she is really filling out that chair now!
Don't worry about the walking - they all walk eventually! When they start school, we don't care when they started walking, or when they potty-trained, just that they ARE walking, and ARE potty trained!! :-)
Happy 1st Eleanor! I love that dress, so pretty on her.
Yeah, don't worry about the walking, she'll be walking in no time and you are going to wish she was still crawling around.
PS now she can sit forward facing in her car seat...YIPPEE. She'll love the new view.
What a sweetheart!! I think the picture is adorable and the dress is beautiful. I just looked at her one month picture and it doesn't seem possible they can grow and change that much in one year. Her hair sure has gotten a lot lighter too. Eleanor is very special and you should be proud.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELEANOR!! Love the dress. Don't worry about the walking, Grace had no interest at a year. She didn't even take her step till 13.5 months and wasn't really walking until 14.5 months... now she runs and I wish she just crawled :) So enjoy the slower method of getting around!
