Laura is 1 Year + 4 Months!

Height: 30.5"

Weight: 18 lbs.








Likes: watching daddy mow the lawn, repetitive viewing of favorite tv clips (opening sequence of "Thomas the Tank Engine," Sheryl Crow singing "'I' is Going to Soak Up the Sun" on Sesame Street, Elmo's World segments), pretending to sleep and covering up with a blanket on the big girl bed, yogurt and "num num" treats (cookies, ice cream), goofing around with dad in the basement playroom, throwing her sippy cups, brushing teeth and washing hands in the sink, asparagus and peas, puppies


Dislikes: being still for diaper changes, having mama leave her, long car rides





Any new tricks? At night we often repeat this sequence where she throws all of her plugs (pacifiers) out and cries. I go in and ask her "Where are your plugs?" and she points behind her crib where she threw them. When I say, "Where do the plugs go at bedtime?," she points on the mattress. Then I say, "What is it time for?" and she says "Nigh-nigh." Stinker, she knows exactly what she should be doing!

She also can identify and name the letter "i" (only lowercase) courtesy of said Sheryl Crow clip above, and knows the following body parts: ears, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, tummy, bellybutton, toes. Laura is working more and more to try and repeat the things she hears us say, and works harder on words that she is interested in - for example, "glasses" and "mow."
