Jane's First Year

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since our girl made her entrance to the world! It's been a wonderful year.

Here are some stats of Jane's first year.

A few minutes old

Weight

Born: 8.0 lbs

1 Year Old: 18 1/2 lbs

One Year Old!

I absolutely love to watch her grow and learn. Having a child has helped open my eyes to how God views me. It has allowed me to get a glimpse of how much He loves me and I have grown in my love for Him because of it. He is so good.

So little!

Height

Born: 21"

1 Year Old: 28 1/4"

She's so big now!

Her head size has stayed in the 70-90th percentile.

She has 3 (almost 4!) teeth

3 Teeth

Firsts!

Jane's first word was Momma/Mom. Not exactly sure when the first time she realized she was referring to me though. I'm guessing around 7 months or so. She can also say Dad/Dadda, Hi, Bye Bye, No, Pappaw and Wow. She talks all the time and has her own language.

Smile - 3 weeks

Laugh - 3 months

Rolled over - 3 months

Sitting unassisted - 5 months

Clap - 6 months

Pulled up - 6 months

Tooth - 8 months

Crawled - 8 months

Throw - 10 months

Walked - 11 months

Slept through the night in her own crib - 11 months (hallelujah!)

Jane loves exploring outside, books, other babies/kids, people in general, saying/waving Hi, smiling, music, dancing, walking while holding on to my fingers, clapping, climbing, chasing roly polies, rain and anything shiny, pretty or new. Basically, she likes almost everything except sleeping. ;)

Her favorite foods are strawberries, cheese and cereal puffs.

Her favorite books are 5 Little Ladybugs, Mr. Brown Can Moo and Old McDonald Had A Farm.

Her favorite toys are her alphabet blocks, her toy house and her ball rattles.

Funny faces!

I can already tell a good bit of Jane's personality! She is strong willed and tough like her Father, silly like her Mother, adventurous like her Uncle Scott and Aunt Anna, talkative like her Uncle Joseph, giving like her Uncle Travis and Aunt Cerena, joyful like her Marmee, smart like her Pappaw, loving like her Kokoo and friendly like her Akuya.

All of it together makes her uniquely Jane Elizabeth Daniels. So blessed to have her in our lives.

Happy Birthday girlie! We love you so much.

Matthew 7:7-11

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
