A Year in Review - Dylan Kathleen

(Here's a little preview of Dylan's 1 year pics...I took them myself!  More to come in another blog.)

It's time to summarize my baby girl's first year, just as I have done with both boys after they turned one.  I cannot believe one year of her life has passed.  I feel like I just brought her home from the hospital.  It seriously breaks my heart to see her grow up.  I honestly want her to stay this age forever!  I know that sounds pathetic but I just love her so much and I never want to let her go....ever! 

In getting her stats for this post, I had to look back at all the blogs I have done this past year and I got to take a little trip down memory lane.  I had so much fun looking at all the old photos and videos.  We've had such an amazing year.  Every day has been such a blessing and a its been a true privilege to be her mom.  She has brought me and our family immeasurable joy.  Christian and I always say how happy we are that we got our girl and what an amazing addition she has been to our little family. We could never imagine a life without our little princess.  So here is her first year of life in a nutshell...

Growth Chart...
Birth - 7.12 lbs / 19.5 inches
1 Month - 10.12 lbs (90%) / 21.75 inches (90%)
2 Months - 12.15 lbs (75%) / 23.75 inches (90%)
4 Months - 15.5 lbs (90%) / 25.5 inches (90%)
6 Months - 17 lbs (70%) / 27.25 inches (95%)
9 Months - 20 lbs (75%) / 29.25 inches (90%)
12 Months - 22.7 lbs (95%) / 30 inches (95%)

Now that Dylan is eating like a little piggy, she's staying solid in the 95th percentile.  The girl loves her food!  For a little comparison...at age one, Jack was 27.13 lbs and Gavin was 24.3 lbs.

First Words...
Dylan actually blows me away with how many words she already says.  She's up to 20!  The first 10 or so are in order, after that I did the best I could to remember...
1. Dada
2. Mama
3. Jack
4. Bye-Bye
5. Roll
6. Papa
7. Elmo
8. Book
9. Birdie
10. Up
11. Ducky
12. Uh-Oh
13. Ball
14. Bubbles
15. Hot
16. Belly Button
17. Gavin
18. Hi
19. Night-Night
20. Princess

At this age, Jack said 8 words and Gavin said 13.  So my little girl is kicking their intellectual butts! 

First Sentences...
Dylan said her first 2 sentences last week!  In all fairness, this shouldn't really go in this post because it's supposed to be her 12 month round up and she's already 13 months.  But I thought it's definitely worth mentioning that she said her first sentences at 13 months!
1. "Hi Dada" - she actually says Hi to everyone...Hi Mama, Hi Jack, Hi Gavin, Hi Papa.  It's adorable! She just hasn't said Mimi yet which kills my mom.
2. "Happy Birthday" - I thought I heard her say it on Jack's actual birthday 2 weeks ago but I couldn't believe it.  But then on Saturday after we sang happy birthday to Jack at his party, she kept saying Hap Birday, Hap Birday. She's quite the genius!

So there you have, Lady D's first year in review.  I hope you've enjoyed watching her grow as much as I have!  So excited to see what the next year has in store!
