The Siffring Family: 1 Year

I know everyone always says this, but I really can't believe my baby is a year old. She just gets more amazing every day. This spring really flew by and all of the sudden it was time for Isla's birthday. She had a great party and we are so lucky that so many family and friends were able to help celebrate. Before I get to the pictures, I wanted to recap some of her developmental milestones.
Weight/Height: She is 22 lbs and about 30 inches. Basically around the 75% for both.
Walking: She has been walking since about 11 months old. It took her so long to crawl that I thought(hoped) she would be a late walker, but no such luck. Once she was crawling and figured out how much better it was to be independent, there was no stopping her. After a few weeks she was pulling up and "furniture surfing". It wasn't long before she took her first steps and it's been a blur every since. She is all over the place and into everything now.
Eating: She is still a pretty picky eater which is no surprise if you know her father! She will usually try cut up food on her tray, but will immediately spit out any chunks of food you try to feed her yourself. She doesn't like texture very much, but we are working on it. She does love bananas, yogurt, some fruits, crackers, cheerios/puffs, and of course Pappy's ribs.
Teeth: She still just has the two on the bottom. We can see the two top ones are about to poke through, but not quite there yet.
Language: She is babbling a lot more now. Mainly Da-da, but some ma-ma's every once in awhile.She has started to mimic what we say to her so I'm sure it won't be long now before she is saying all kinds of things.
We had a whale/beach themed party for Isla's first birthday and I think she approved!
