Took a few tries, but got some more pictures uploaded!
Here's the birthday cupcake progression.
Blow out the candle (she didn't need to--the wind took care of it. Twice--it blew out while we were still singing)
She thought the sprinkles were toys...
What? I'm supposed to eat this??

Trying another taste
Nah. I don't want this. You eat it!
And that was as far as we got with the cupcake!
I was pretty surprised she didn't make a terrific mess of it, herself, and her clothing. But we still have plenty of time to train her in the way she should go, so I am confident we will eventually have a cupcake lover.
Today was her 12 month check up. Disappointed that they didn't want me to strip her down to a diaper this time (I brought a really cute hair bow to match her diaper for her dr's office picture). Since she can stand on her own, they just have her stand on the big kid scale instead of get weighed on the infant scale, and she was wearing a dress, so I didn't need to take off any pants for her vaccinations.
She's a whopping 17.4 lbs, fully clothed, shod, and diapered. 5th percentile.
28.75 inches, so her growth has slowed, but is still maintaining, so we're not worried.
New things: She got a dolly for her birthday, which she calls 'baby'. Her lovey (favorite toy to snuggle) is a monkey puppet. She can stand for 30+ seconds, while leaning, bending, moving--but as soon as she would like to travel, she bends her legs to get to the floor and crawl. She's still too chicken to try to take a step unassisted! We'll be sure to let you know when that does happen though!
