12 months / 1 year

Malin @ 12months

Eats

Bread and cheese. I don't think she's had anything green in well over a month. ugh. 

Moves

She's crawling, cruising, pulling up on everything, into cabinets (and climbing on ottomans) and well, frankly, does not sit still. 

Says

A few things here and there, but nothing consistent. 

Does

Points to where she wants to go and what she wants to do. Waves Hi and Bye. Gives kisses to her animals. Follows some directions and is awesome at finding toys (Elmo, Baby) even if they are buried in the toy bin. 

Most of our shoot looked like this though.

and then she was *one*

365 days.  I can't believe my baby is one.

Sweet baby Malin.

is now busy, busy toddler Malin. 

There was cake, there were presents. Lucas had the weekend off so we celebrated the birthday girl all weekend.  I think she had a great time.  And although she'll never remember this birthday, I will never forget looking at the clock on July 8 at 6:45pm and remembering the first time I kissed my baby girl.

A post dedicated to Mormor

We've been lucky enough to be able to see my mom (mormor) quite a bit since M has been born, but the month of June was extra special.  We spent most of June plus a week in NY with Mormor.  I loved having the extra hands and love that Malin gets to spend a lot of time with Mormor since we don't have any family in NY.

I think they have become best buddies.

Malin @ 11months

Eats

Too many things to list, but our favorite remains as cheese.  Malin will eat her weight in cheese. Still loves watermelon. 

Moves

Non-stop crawling. Standing up on everything.  No cruising yet. 

Says

No. That's about it. Except it's a whiney "NAH NAH NAH"

Does

Points at everything and everyone. Obsessed with looking at pictures, playing the guitar and reading books. 

I am in denial that my little baby is turning one.
