1 year!!!



Likes:
Offering to share something, pulling away quickly and laughing
Dancing
Putting her arms in the air to say "so big" when you ask how big she is
Watermelon
Looking at books and flipping back and forth (and back again :)
Walking
Animals - she makes a grunting animal noise that is the same for all animals (it was originally the Chewbaca sound she learned from dad)
Looking under the couch for lost items
Peek-a-boo Wild app
Being outside
Waking up and having breakfast

Dislikes:
Things on her head
Giving up the iPhone
Not being allowed to touch the computers


Tegan understands a lot of what we tell her in English and what her nanny says in Nepali.  She knows some sign language and has made up some of her own.  She isn't saying many words, though she babbles all the time.  She is quickly moving from walking to attempting to run (really fast walking then falling into us or the furniture).  She has 6 teeth.  She nurses in the morning and night, loves to eat and can suck back a sippy cup of water.  She didn't like milk when we gave it to her and we haven't tried again.  Sleeping is still a challenge, she started waking up a few times a night again; I find her standing up in her crib ready to play at 2:00am!  She is happy and smiley most of the time and loves interacting with people.  Basically she's awesome and we love her to pieces!!

Walking video

Tegan progressed from taking a few wobbly steps to walking all over the place quite quickly.  She still crawls some when she wants to get someplace fast, but stands as soon as she is there.  As a bonus in this video, you can hear her funny little laugh towards the end.

Put me in coach

We spent last weekend supporting our school's girls volleyball teams. Tegan thought she should get to play too, but had fun just cheering and clapping for them. Likewise, the girls got a kick out of her being there.
