1 YEAR OLD STATS AND OTHER FUN INFO

Noel had her 1 year well baby exam this last week. Here are her measurements:

Weight: 21.3 lbs (50%ile)
Height: 29.75in. (I believe the nurse said the 75%ile)

THE KINDS OF THINGS NOEL IS DOING AT 1
-We'll ask, "Noel, can you sing?" And Noel sings, "Ya ya ya ya ya." (We've taught her that singing is, "La la la la la."
-When we ask Noel where her eyes, ears, teeth, nose, tongue, and mouth are she will point to them or to ours.
-She blows kisses, sometimes to perfect strangers.
-She says "Amen" along with everyone else after prayers (and sometimes during prayers).
-Gives hugs.
-Gives kisses.
-At church sometimes she thinks the chorister in Sacrament Meeting is waving to her so she'll wave and wave and wave back.
-Waves "hi" and "bye". Cute story with that one. The other day Noel stood up, held onto her walker, turned to me, waved and said, "bye" and she walked out of the room. It was the cutest thing!!
-She loves to dance! Whenever there is music, she is right there dancing.
-We'll ask her what monkeys, cows, kittys, doggies, and tigers say and for monkey's its "oooh oooh ah ah", cows of course, "moo", kittys, "me me" doggies, "fff fff" and tigers "raaarr!".
-Plays peek a boo.
-Says "weeeee" a lot especially if her mom or dad are taking her jogging in her stroller.
-Holds her brush and brushes her hair.
-Puts a necklace around her neck and says "pretty".
-She says "oh no" or "oh my" when she is "doing her business". That's only because she'll hear me say those things when she is "doing her business" so when she wakes up from her naps or in the morning, I'll hear her grunting and such and saying "oh no" and "oh my". It's too funny!

THINGS NOEL IS SAYING
Amen, balloon, more, papa, dada, mama, light, what's that?, all done, Shasta (name of my parent's dog), pretty, socks, shoes, cheese, please, puppy, bonk, thank you, oh no, oh my, teeth, brush, bye, hot, baby, up, down, nite nite, hello, hi, peek-a-boo, soft, weeeee, hug, banana, book, and juice.
