Julia's 1 year appointment stats are:
Weight: 17 lbs 9.5 oz
2.99 percentile
(Jeez Julia...can't you at least get it to the 3rd percentile?)
BMI: 15.0
12.71 percentile
Height: 28.75 in,
29.38 percentile
(I measured her as an inch shorter, but isn't it nice they're making her taller!)
Head Circumference: 45.5 cm,
57.7%
(I'm pretty sure the extra circumference comes from those cheeks!)
In other news, Julia started walking on her own over Easter weekend. It started with the Ward Easter Egg Hunt, surrounded by what seemed like hundreds of screaming, running children, and she walked back and forth between me and Greg. On Monday, she truly took off on her own and made it all the way across the room at Lori's house. This is a video of the 7th time or so that she got a grape from me and then walked off!
Julia is also an amazing signer. Her favorite sign is "baby," which she is signing below in the video. She could sign "baby" all day long and never tire of it! Other words include: milk, drink, food, more, all done, finished, ball, daddy, mommy (very rarely), bath, dog, bird, and I taught her the wrong sign for cat over the weekend because I'm awesome like that

Julia has some teaching to do when she comes next month! She can get her cousin up to speed!
Julia is as impressive in her petiteness as London is in her bulkiness. They only tell me 99% so that I don't think she's absolutely the biggest baby in the world.
About 30 pounds. 32 inches. Almost has molars. Babbles but doesn't say much besides Duke (DUUUUUUTTTTEEE!) and Dada variations.
No walking yet. I'm trying to ignore the pressure that she has been beaten to the milestone by younger kids. She'll soon realize she can destroy more, quicker, when she has two free hands.
Oh - and she still doesn't like solid foods enough to phase out mostly bottle eating.
Pardon my lengthy comment. I can't sleep and I haven't blogged in forever.
I LOVE baby signs!!!! How do you teach her? baby signing times? or on your own?
She seems to be even more brilliant than her mother... which is hardly possible.
