the big one!!!

happy first birthday sweet baby girl!!!

can you believe it?
i can't.
jaelyn is one year old!

you can go here to see a few more pictures of her and read her special birthday post!!

here is what jaelyn is up to at one year old:



eating: jaelyn loves to eat! she likes most any food! she loves fruit! she is eating most table foods. we just weaned from nursing last week, she is taking two or three bottles a day.

sleeping: jaelyn usually takes 2 two-hour naps, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. although the past few days she has been taking one really really long (3-4 hours) nap. i am not sure if this is a phase because of our different schedule lately or what. she has been sleeping great at night until she got a cold and started getting some more teeth. now that those things are getting better she is sleeping better

teething: at eleven months old she cut her first tooth on the bottom, then the second one came the following week. this past week i noticed her sleeping was off and realized she was cutting a top tooth and the second one was close behind. then on saturday i noticed that both top teeth were almost all the way through and that the two teeth on the sides of those are coming down and one on the bottom side is cutting through too. so in one weeks time she is getting five more teeth!


moving: she is cruising all over the furniture, standing and sitting and will let go with one hand, becoming more confident in standing. she is crawling everywhere and doing it on her knees more and more. although her army crawl is faster!!! she loves to clap, wave, give kisses and hugs and LOVES to blow kisses at everyone!!! she is busy and into everything!!! she has become very playful!


talking: she is imitating sounds and words a lot. she has repeated us saying bye bye, hey, bottle.
she says a few words; more, all (for all done), uh oh, dada, mama, josh (osh), cheers "yay", puh (please) she can sign "more" and "all done" working on please!
