First Steps and Sippy Cups

Friday was a big day at our house.  Well, technically it was a big day at daycare for Brianna but regardless of where, she had a big day!  We've been transitioning from bottles to sippy cups for lunch and on Friday, she voluntarily gave up all her bottles with absolutely no fuss.  Such a big girl!  She's been standing unassisted for several seconds for a few days now and she also took her first steps on Friday.  She took three steps the first time and two the second.  Of course, I can't get her to do it at home where Justin and I can see it, but its only a matter of time till she's off and running, literally.

We also had our one year well check this past week and as usual, she's on the top end of the height charts and the bottom end of the weight charts.  She's 30" long (73%) and weighed 19.8 pounds (24%).  Her height has slowed down and dropped out of the 95th percentile but she's still a tall little girl.  We also found out she had a double ear infection, which we would have never guessed since she's been her happy, funny self with no fever.  So, she's on antibiotics for a few more days.  We got a couple shots but opted out of two of them till she's a little older.  I just didn't feel comfortable giving her the MMR and Varacella until she's both older and not battling an infection.  She was unhappy enough that she had to have two shots after being poked and prodded by Dr. Karen.

Here's a few more pictures from her birthday party ... I've been meaning to post them for awhile but haven't had time.   She never really touched her cake so there's no messy face pictures.  She ate a few nibbles but she's not much of a sweets girl. 

My mom sent her this adorable beanie and I really wish she'd leave it on her head longer than two seconds!  It looks so cute on her and is very soft.  But, Bree doesn't like things on her head.  We'll just have to keep trying it on her till she gets used to it because it looks too cute to not wear it!

And last but not least, do you think she has enough toys out this morning??
