Rose at 12 months

It's hard to believe that Rose is one year old today!  Here are her official stats:
     Weight:  23 1/2 lbs (a gain of 14.5 lbs in the past year!)  87th%
      Length: 32 inches (growth of 10 inches since her birth!)  98.25%

Recent accomplishments:  Tooth #7 has appeared.  She reliably says Dada, 'nana for bananas, "duuh" for the kitties, and once in a while I get a Mama.  She prefers walking to crawling-- when she can hold someone's fingers for balance and support.  She tears around the house with her walker toy, taking corners quick as she can.  Rose drinks out of a (sippy) cup with ease and she sometimes practices using a spoon. 

Favorite activities:  Hands down, she loves opening drawers, doors and cupboards, pulling things off of tables, and general mischief.  She claps her hands, blows raspberries, and gives high-fives.  All when she feels like it, of course.
