dorchadas | 🎂 ONE 🎂 YEAR 🎂 baby update!

This is just a short update since Laila has a birthday party tomorrow and I'll post more about that after Shabbat, but Laila turns one year old today!

Here's a slightly-blurry photo of Laila's summer ensemble:

It's hard to get a clear picture of a one-year-old. Emoji embarrassed rub head

Laila has mastered the baby fall, and while she initially would hold on to something with one hand and sloooooooowly lower herself down to the floor until she could touch it with her other hand before letting go, now she just squats a bit and lets go before falling on her bum and then speeding off to her next destination. She's not walking yet, but she took another step toward it--a lot of the time when she's crawling she'll lift off her knees onto her hands and feet and scuttle across the floor. Mostly into places she's not supposed to be.

She's still drinking some formula--

sashagee stopped breastfeeding because Laila now has upper teeth as well as lower teeth and she bit

sashagee multiple times--but she mostly eats solid foods now. If we need a snack for her, we can just give her some of our food as long as it's not too salty or sugary. I just fed her a tiny bit of homemade tsukemono earlier and she loved them. Definitely a baby with worldly tastes.

She knows what "mama" and "abba" mean, and occasionally says them to us, but hasn't progressed to using them to get our attention when we're not in view. Right now she's crawling all around and babbling up a storm.

Further updates after her party!!
