Live, Laugh, Love: One Year Old!

Lauren is 1! Her birthday and party turned out great. I made her a dairy and soy free cake (booyah!) and some dairy and soy free icing! I tasted both and thought they were pretty good. She enjoyed the icing and not really any cake but it's all good. She's just holding out for the real deal. Hopefully sooner rather than later, we head to the allergist for testing in 2 weeks.

Lauren likes to cruise along things and walk holding someones hands. She's afraid to test out her balance on her own but I don't think it'll be much longer.
She mimics sounds/words you say. She currently enjoys saying "ut-oh" and looks down at the ground.
She is 19 lb 4 oz and 28 inches long. Still hanging out in the 15th-20th percentile. She's a petite little thing.
She has two teeth, bottom front.
Her hair is really starting to fill in.
She wears size 2 shoes and 12 month clothes.
She LOVES books and enjoys "reading" them to herself.
She's very observant and likes to point things out.
She is very independent and wants to do as much as she can on her own - she thinks she is a much bigger girl than she is :) You could also phrase this as stubborn.
She's eating some finger food and some jar food. She loves cut up fruit the most and tomato flavored puffs.
She's still on the crazy formula and will continue on it until after we meet with the allergist. I'm hoping at that point she can be switched to some form of milk.
She likes to be outside.
She still is iffy with naps but we're working on one solid nap mid-day as opposed to two stinky ones.
She has started disliking bath time and screams! Weird all of the sudden.
She is starting to love her stuffed animals and baby dolls. She pulls them up to her cheek, hugs them, and mimics the "aww" sound.
Her personality is really starting to come through and it's adorable!
