Who is this baby?

Just looking at this little 12 1/2 month old girl who just two weeks ago was only crawling and cruising around on furniture, It's hard to believe how everyday she is trying to do more. Here she is just sitting so big watching Dora the Explorer just like her big sister.
Then she gets a little bored with that and decides to see what happens if she tries to climb, sure climbing is something that will definitely get a reaction out of mommy. She does it, climbs right up there. She also has started walking this past week (which I still haven't been able to catch on tape yet!) She is just doing all sorts of different things lately. She reached up to the dining room table the other day, got the newspaper(still rolled up) and cruised/walked into the kitchen and put it in the garbage can! She has finally said MaMa! and latelyhas started shaking her head no when you try and give her a bottle. She prefers a sippy cup like Elena.

I told Bill that I think she even is looking different these days. Her hair is growing a little longer, getting a little lighter and the ends have a little curl to them. She is even looking more like a toddler... slow down baby, slow down.....
