Today, our baby turned one. It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed already! We had Helena's one-year checkup this morning and everything looked great. Here are her current stats: Height - 30 inches (75th percentile); Weight - 19 pounds, 10 ounces (25th percentile - it's also 2 pounds more than Sophie weighed on her first birthday!) Helena's pretty much given up crawling and prefers to walk everywhere now. She's also been sleeping through the night for seven months now, she's totally done with bottles, and she's almost weaned.
We were fortunate enough to have family in town to help us celebrate this huge milestone, so it's been a busy and fun-filled past few days. Last weekend, Sophia and Helena got to spend some time playing in their pool and we also paid a visit to the zoo:
Although she received lots of wonderful gifts, I think Helena's favorite part of the day may very well have been her first taste of cake. Once she got started, she dug in with both hands and there was no stopping her:
After the party, Helena enjoyed time with some of her birthday presents:
It seems that the past year has just flown by. Although it's bittersweet watching Helena grow up so fast, we're so proud of her accomplishments and so excited to see what the future holds for her.
