Rahlf Stories: Ettley is 12 months!!

My little girl is 1! I have another 1 year old! It was the fastest year of my life (besides when Adler turned 1 and I’m sure the first year of my future children). She has grown so much and I love spending each day with her and watching her learn. She is so cute and easygoing and loves her brother. He is still the funniest person to her. She is always happy and although it’s easy to get a smile you have to work for the laughs. She never wants to sit still and loves to climb on everything. Here is what is new with her:

-She had her check up and she weighed 19.3 lbs (22nd percentile) and is 29.25 inches tall (56th percentile).

-She started free standing and even took her first steps but she didn’t start walking until May 29th, just a few days before turning 13 months old.

-She can say “ball” and “touchdown” which just brings so much joy to Dane.

-She puckers up for kisses now and it melts my heart.

-She still copies everything we do and it usually has us laughing.

-She blows on everything, especially hot food.

-Ettley is extremely flexible. We thought it was just because she was a baby but she is still just as flexible. She sometimes falls asleep with her legs spread out and she just lays on her stomach. She can also get her feet all the way up to her head. She has the flexibility I wish I had!

We really love our Ettley and we are so lucky she is part of our family. We are excited to see what the next year brings. Now for cute pictures (some of these are when she is 13 months but I just had to include them all):
