Life with Lottie - 12 Months Old

Chris and I are absolutely loving this stage. Charlotte is just so much fun. At 12 months, she was already understanding a good bit of what we said, saying a few things herself, making hilarious noises, mimicking everything, and going, going, going non-stop. While she didn't start walking until 13 months, she was getting around very well. Here are some moments from month 12:

Her favorite word is Airplane, which she learned from the toddler I watched for a couple of months. It took about a week for me to help Lottie pair a picture of an airplane with the word.


She also knows what sound an elephant makes. She will do this if you ask or if she sees a picture of an elephant. She still can't say elephant, but she sure knows what they are. I included a clip of Chris doing his elephant sound, so you can see what Lottie is trying to imitate.


She also loves to chatter. One morning, I got the cutest video of her talking to Finn. In the middle, you see her point to Finn and say "Baby."


She is really starting to enjoy activities and really interact with what is occurring. We have taken her to feed the ducks a few times (like here), but these are the pictures from her first trip.




Two blue herons were fighting over the pond, and they came within 10 feet of us. It was really cool.


We tried her water table for the first time, which is basically a small pool to her. She loves it.

Those regular diapers sure fill up. She was rocking some serious diaper sag and about 10 extra pounds.

After a little bit, we had to cover up our fair-skinned red head.

All in all, we just have a great time with her.

Lottie saw Daddy mowing, so she climbed up into the dog bowl to wave and point at him.
