On July 26th, Genesee became a 1-year-old! Guess what she got for her birthday?!

“Make sure you get my good side,” says G.
“How’s this angle?”
“Oh?! You wanted to see these cheeks, not those cheeks!?”
But, fortunately, that’s not the whole story. As a newly-turned 1-year-old, Genesee’s health is otherwise great. She weighs 19 lbs and 3 oz. (40th percentile), measures 29.3 inches tall (55%), and has a 44 cm head circumference (25%). Woot. Woot! Those are the doctors’ stats; here are my observations:
- Genesee is very mischievous and thinks “no” means “yes.”
- She can typically be found opening cupboards or playing in toilets.
- She LOVES ice cream, all of my cars, and a good game of peek-a-boo.
- Genesee is now drinking whole milk… no more formula… and sometimes from a sippy cup!
- She’s growing her top two front teeth.
- Genesee does seem to like her car seat a little better these days (we switched her to a bigger one since I’ve graduated to a booster seat), but her meltdowns instead take place in the mornings at school drop-off.
- She’s really goin’ places! She can pull herself up, crawl up the stairs, and zoom from one spot to the next.
- She is smart, sassy, fearless, and so stinkin’ adorable.
- And perhaps the most important observation: Genesee seems to have the best big brother in the world.
He moves like Jaeger
