Sienna's one year stats

Sienna had her one week check-up a week or so ago; here are her stats.
Height: 30.5" (80th percentile)
Weight: 23 lbs. 8 oz. (80th percentile)

Our doctor says Sienna has the motor and language development of an 18 month old. Most 18 month olds can say 5 - 10 words. At 12 months, Sienna uses about 8 words on a consistent basis.
Momma/Mom
Dada/Daddy (Dah-ee)
Hi
Uh-oh
Whoa
Wow
Maddie (Mah-ee)
Papa/Pop-Pop

Some of our favorite Sienna-ism's at one year old are:
- Giving Maddie kisses. If we tell Maddie to give Sienna and kiss and Sienna to give Maddie a kiss, 9 times out of 10 they will walk towards each other and kiss. It's precious!
- Tupperware. Sienna is in the tupperware cabinet at least 3 times a day pulling out bowls and lids. Lately, she's started even putting them back in the cabinet. I wonder how many times your tupperware can be pulled onto the kitchen floor before it's considered dirty?
- Swings. Sienna has always loved to swing, but she LOVES the park swings. She normally throws a fit when we have to get her out of the swing to leave the park... even if she's been in the swing for a half hour!
- Pillow pile. We put all the pillows and blankets in the middle of our floor, and Sienna loves to 'jump/fall' on the pile of pillows. She just laughs and wants to do it all over again!
- Stuffed animals. Similar to the pillows, Sienna loves getting all her stuffed animals together and snuggling them. She does this first thing every morning when she wakes up. It's so cute!
- Riding forward in her car seat. A few weeks ago, we turned her car seat around, and she loves it! She likes to call our names to get us to turn around and look at her. Once we do, she cracks up laughing.
- Grinding her teeth. She's had several teeth come in lately (4 on top; 2 on bottom), and she likes to grind her new top teeth against her bottom teeth. I can't stand the sound!
- Breakfast and dinner. These are Sienna's favorite meals. For breakfast, she always has a banana, yogurt & scrambled egg with cheese. For dinner, the entrees vary! She's still a pretty adventurous eater.
- Books. She loves to walk over to her bookshelf and pull book after book off the shelf. Then she likes to get back in the nook in her bedroom and read the books.
- Mickey. The obsession with the mouse continues. We watch the intro to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse at least once a day.
- Music. Sienna LOVES music. She's even started to quasi-dance to it.
- Stacking & Nesting. Sienna loves to stack blocks and put smaller objects into larger ones. Her favorite is taking magnets off the fridge and putting them inside her toy kitchen set... particularly the microwave!

Sienna has stopped crawling, which is kind of sad. Since we've returned from vacation, I haven't seen her crawl. She's all about the walking, and doing it on her own.
She still wears size 4 diapers, and she is between a size 12 month and 18 month in clothing. She's between shoe sizes 4 and 5.
Her hair has gotten really long, but I am avoiding a haircut for a while. I love her little curls in the back, so I'm in no hurry to loose those. I'll just keep braiding her bangs and putting her hair in a pony tail.
She is still a ham in public. She loves waving to everyone in the grocery store; when we're out to eat, she wants to walk around the restaurant to say 'hi' to everyone. She's such a busy little bee, and a cute one to boot.
