12 Month Pictures!

She's ONE! I can't believe it! Marin loves....

• to point at everything. It is one of her favorite ways to communicate. And her little pointer finger is adorable. 
• the "ba" sound...I think she tries to say bite, bath, ball, and bye....
• to write! If there is pen and paper around, look out. She is going to be writing. 
• Sliding- her little Tikes slide is still a fun activity. She climbs up and usually slides down on her belly backwards. And always finishes with an applause for herself. 
• CLIMBING
• snuggling with her Daddy in the mornings. It really is the most the precious thing in the world. When she wakes up in the morning, I bring her into our room and she goes straight for Daddy! 
• Pat-a-Cake....especially the "roll em' up" part. We sing it "Pat a cake, pat a cake, Baker's man, Roll 'em up, Roll 'em up, Throw them in the pan." We clap and then roll our hands. She has learned how to roll her hands and it is just too cute. 
• Nursing. The idea was to wean at a year and at one point we thought she would be ready. But there is no way this girl is ready to give it up. And we don't really mind. 
• Waffles, yogurt, fruit/veggie pouches are still her favorite foods. 
• She loves her books Peek-A-Who and now Grow Up (Santa brought it) by Nina Laden
• The Wiggles are her favorite! 
• MUSIC!
