Wow! I can't believe Scarlet is already one year old. This year just flew. Scarlet has quite the personality. She is such a sweetie and just loves to be close and cuddle. But, when she is on the move.. she is on the move! She started walking at 11 months and is now a speed walker. When she really gets to walking and feeling proud, she sticks her little chest out and puts her arms back- my mom calls her a proud little peacock.
She has 8 teeth (four top/four bottom). At her one year check she weighed 26 pounds (90%ile) and was 31 1/2 inches long (100%ile). She says "momma" and "dada" consistently with a lot of other babbles and consonants for other words as she points. She is quite the pointer, you certainly don't have to wonder what she wants- she will let you know. :)
Scarlet just adores Adeline, but has really started to exert her independence and isn't quite as willing to be bossed by her older sister. Something really cute is during story time at the library, Scarlet will sit next to Adeline on the rug and listen for a few minutes before she gets distracted by her surroundings. She really wants to do everything that Adeline is doing. Oh, .. do they ever get to giggling together- I don't know if there is any better sound in the world. Scarlet is a big fan of the cats, fish tank, and Layla. She loves tugging on Layla and often uses her as her personal climbing gym. Speaking of climbing- she is a climber, I am often amazed how she manages to get up and over and all around.
Scarlet has quite a bit of curl to her hair, I hope it lasts- I think she must get it from her Grandma Susan, so pretty! Scarlet needed her birthday milestone to decide it was time to sleep through the night. A week after her birthday, all of the the sudden (I say "all of the sudden" very loosely), she stopped waking up in the night. Do you hear the angels singing? I do! Happy 1st Birthday to our baby girl, Scarlet! She has certainly brought more joy to our lives than we could have ever imagined!
