Wells Turns 1!




Cannot believe Wells is a year old! Cliche but it really does not seem like a year has gone by...

Anyway, we had a little get together for her big day with family and some of her little friends. She loved the giraffe cupcake cake we had. As you can see from the pictures...she wore herself out eating the cupcake. We really think she knew it was her party!

We went to her year appoinment at the doctor and she weighs 22 pounds and is 30 cm long...still 75 percentile for height and weight. Doctor told us we should stop using the bottle and start using a sippie cup for all milk(easier said than done). We are using a soft spout bottle as a transition because she wanted no part of that sippie cup with milk in it. She does not mind the whole milk..it is just what it is in that matters...who knew. I guess change is always hard!

She is still just cruising around the furniture etc..no walking yet! Fine with us. Though, she has started crawling a little faster than she used to. If she sees something she wants(esp if she knows she is not supposed to have it) she makes a bee-line for it. She is also pretty stubborn when it comes to wanting things...we will take stuff away from her(for example, a phone charger and two seconds later she will be back over at the charger grabbing for it. She's a smart little one...

Eleven/Twelve Months








Well, at almost twelve months old Wells did not really have any interest in opening presents. She would tear some of the paper and then get distracted and crawl away. Maybe next year! She also did not really care about Santa Claus. We went to see Santa with Cousin Jack...who did not really think Santa was all that cool. We think Santa was getting a little bored too...notice the yawn.

We had fun going to Jacksonville for Christmas this year...we had not been there for Christmas in three years! Wells and Cousin Bayard had fun playing together.
