Fun Facts - 12 Months
- Camryn still wears size 3 diapers. We recently bumped up to a size 4 at night which seems to be working quite well. She can still wear some 12 month clothes but mainly fits in 18 month clothes.
- Camryn has been bottle-free since the week after her birthday. Weaning was such an easy process for her. If anything, I was the one wanting her to have a bottle just to get her to drink something. The week of her birthday she went through a little phase of refusing most liquids. We tried water, milk, juice, even Sierra Mist and tea. We tried bottle, sippy, regular cups, straws and yes, even spoon feeding her liquids. I tell you, she sure gave us a run for our money that week.
- Speaking of liquids, Camryn started transitioning to whole milk the week of her birthday. I started mixing 1/2 whole milk with 1/2 breast milk for a couple of days, and then gave her all whole milk. The weeks prior to her birthday were so busy with planning, etc. that the weaning process for me just kind of happened. I was down to pumping twice a day which meant we were going through the frozen supply pretty quickly. Introducing whole milk the week of Camryn's birthday worked really well for us. She's had some issues with constipation but the doctor recommended Miralax which has worked wonderfully.
- Camryn is such a great eater. She never refuses anything I give her. She loves her fruits and veggies! I'm finding that we as a family are eating healthier these days. I usually plan her meals for the week (making sure she's getting the proper nutrition) and just make enough for the family.
- Camryn’s nap schedule has been a little crazy. For the last week and a half she stopped napping in the afternoons. She seemed sleepy (whiny, rubbing her eyes) so I’d lay her down, and she would just toss and turn and never go to sleep. I thought she was just down to one-2 hour nap in the mornings until a couple of days ago she started napping in the afternoon again. If I’ve learned anything about parenting it’s that kids will always keep you on your toes. Just when you think you have them figured out, they change something on you again!
- Camryn is crawling everywhere now! She loves exploring the house on her own. She thinks it’s a game when mama or daddy chase after her when she’s getting into something she shouldn’t. It’s so hard not to laugh because she gets real excited, starts laughing and crawls faster! Camryn is also cruising along the furniture and behind her walker toys. She’s starting to enjoy her new independence!
- Camryn still loves books. Her thing now is to kiss the animals in her touch and feel books. She also likes to hug her baby doll, and she loves music! The girl has got some rhythm let me tell you. She loves to dance and shake it! It’s really cute to watch her personality unfold.
