Rowan is 1 Year Old!

We just can't believe that a whole year has come and gone, and our little baby is 1 year old already?! She turned 1 on November 26th, and we got her a small cake, and sang her happy birthday.  It was in the evening and she was a little tired, so she cried a bit when we offered her the cake.  I put a little of the frosting on her mouth, and she actually decided she liked it!  Liam helped her open her presents.  She got a Fisher Price talking/singing tea set, an Abby Cadabby 'P is for Princess' DVD, and her first doll.  She is constantly doing new things and surprising us, so I had to hurry and write down all the new things she's doing lately before she goes and changes on us again.  She is still not walking on her own,but she is getting close, and she is climbing on everything!  She loves Liam's Cozy Coupe Car, and she can open the door, climb in, close the door and move it backwards.  She LOVES playing in it, and we think it's her favorite toy right now.  She had her 1 year Dr.s visit on December 3rd. and we were a little surprised given that she is more social than Liam was at this age, that she scored low on a few sections. Although we weren't concerned since they always seem to start doing most of them shortly after we fill it out. And sure enough about a week after she started pointing at things she likes or wants like Cherrios, and lights and trying out words for the items.  She now weighs an even 20 lbs., 33.04 percentile, she is 28.8 inches, 41.29 percentile, and her head is 18.25 inches, 84.62 percentile.  A couple of super cute things she's been doing lately is what we call the claw wave, where she will open and close her thumb and pointer finger, kinda like a lobster claw.  And the other one is clapping when we say 'Yay', or clap when we sing a song with clapping in it. Everyday we just marvel at how wonderful a baby she is, and feel so grateful to have her in our lives.  We love you Rowan!
