Marleigh had her one year appointment last week. Dr. Williams is so impressed with her! Marleigh is now 19lbs & 28 inches. She is in the 20-25th percentile in all categories. She is quickly closing the gap between her adjusted age & actual age.
Sunday night, Marleigh was bouncing off the walls! Marc was throwing her in the air. She would squeal & laugh with excitement. We put her in her little baby einstein jumper. She went nuts for twenty minutes straight. She was jumping like crazy & laughing the whole time. It was a hoot!
Marleigh has FINALLY decided to say, "mama"! :) I'm pretty sure she has been able to say it for a long time, but is just too stubborn. (Wonder where she gets that?!?) A couple of times a few weeks ago when she was upset, she reached for me & said, "mama". But other than that? Nada. I'd try & try to get her to say it. I'd say, "mama mama mama." All I would get back was, "dada dada dada." Or I'd get a huge raspberry! I think "mama" might be the most beautiful word I've ever heard!
Yea!!! How exciting!!! She is getting so big so fast!!! I bet you were so excited for her to say that!!! Give her kisses!!!

Sounds like she is progressing just fine. She weighs what Taryn weighed at a year. And that she said "mama" - that's the best feeling. You and Marc are amazing parents. You are very blessed. Give that baby some hugs and kisses from the Roys.

From a speech pathologist's perspective, it seems like no matter how hard you try, they NEVER say mama first! And I'm sure, in the next year, I'll try very, very hard to get her to say mama first...but I'm guessing it won't work! Still, she said it - and that's so wonderful!!
