Robin at 12 Months

Happy 1st Birthday, Ro Ro!!! Robin has gone through a lot of changes this past month. She now has 6 teeth and has started walking! She’s still a dedicated crawler but will take 4 or 5 steps before she scrambles back to the floor because it is her fastest method of transportation (that or pushing around the wheely bug, which she will do all day long). Robin continues to surprise us with the range of foods she eats (anything and everything we eat, few modifications). Her favorite food to date was Spring vegetable risotto, which I slaved over the stove for an hour and a half to make. She has great taste! When food requires a spoon Robin feeds herself now – she hands the spoon to me, I scoop up the food and hand it back to her and she puts it in her mouth (over and over and over…). She has not picked up many new words but uses sign language more often and is extremely expressive. She loves chasing after Roary and standing in the learning tower while I make dinner and feed her small bits of food. It’s still so hard to believe that a year has gone by – looking forward to what R’s second year will bring!
