One Year Stats

  • Weight 15 lbs 1 oz  (0th percentile);  Height 27 inches  (11th percentile)
  • Leighton is crawling, standing, climbing, rolling on EVERYTHING, will stand in one spot and balance
  • Still LOVES being outside! Going on walks, watching cars, just being outdoors
  • Wants to do anything involving water... swimming, bathtime, playing in the sink, turning the water on and off, spray bottles, fountains, ect.
  • Leila is eating a lot better... still not a huge fan of baby food... but enjoys mexican!! (aka.. quesadillas, beans & rice).  Other favorites include cereal, yogurt, pasta, potatoes, bananas & snow cones
  • Saying "dada, mama, dog, bye-bye, & duck".  Fascinated with dogs, and whenever we see one, she'll say "dog" for hours...
  • Takes vitamins & miralax once a day
  • Weaning from formula to whole milk... and from a bottle to sippy cups!
  • LOVES playing games, patt-a-cake (does all the actions), peek-a-boo, holds up finger to show she's "1", playing with balls, cell phones, keys, reading books, & dancing
  • Leighton's funniest habit right now is that she is crazy about the "Lagoon" commercial!! Whenever it comes on she'll stop whatever she's doing to watch! She's never interested in the tv... but no matter what she's doing she'll turn around and stop just for the length of the commercial! Even if we're in the other room.. if she hears the music..  she'll look around for it! (And yes... it comes on a LOT durning the summer!!)  LOVE IT.
  • Hair is finally growing :)  Can scrape together a tiny pony on top of her head!
  • She's wearing size 6 months in clothes.. and a size 3 diaper
  • Two bottom teeth are in... One top tooth is coming in...
  • She is the most amazing thing in my life. Leighton Bo has come soooo far over the past year and has truly been our miracle. When she was born at just 2 lbs 7 oz... people would comment on how she would be big and healthy in the years to come. That is what I have prayed for.. and that is where we are now.

She is gorgeous, I love hearing about her development and progress. I wish you guys lived closer so Brody and Leighton could be swimming buddies together. Miss you and hope your not roasting too bad down south.

She is so cute, and I LOVE stats!! I love to hear about then new things that kids do! It is so fun!! She really is doing good from 2 lbs 7 oz!!! My little guy was 4 lbs 4 oz and I remember thinking he would never catch up....but he is almost 2 and is in 12-18 month clothes.....some 18-24 months....so they do catch up! It is crazy how they grow and change so much even in just one year.....I am so glad that things worked out so well with her! What a special little girl!
