Lara is ONE!!

Lara turned one on the weekend. We were too busy to organise a party, only a simple lunch with family was organised. I kept putting off recording Lara's development like I normally do. I wanted to spend as much of my free time playing with her, so other things had to wait. Plus Lara's able to do so many new things, it's hard to keep track of them all.

A few notable things this month:
* She just had her 12-month vaccination. 3 needles this time. She was such a brave girl, didn't even cry when the second needle went in. She has been sleeping more, probably because of the shots.
* Still not sleeping very much at day care. The longest sleep was 1 hour for the whole day, some days only 30 minutes (she does 2 day sleeps at home, at least 3 hours altogether). I guess it takes time for her to adjust to sleeping in a different place. When she is at home, I let her sleep as much as she needs to catch up.
* Was told she loved pasta with tuna and chicken schnitzel at day care. Lara's eating more of the food we eat. I'm looking through cook books and doing dishes that we can all eat.
* Loves yoghurt now that I switched brand (new brand is sweeter).
* Loves all fruit - especially nectarine and grapes.
* Lara's walking well, only slightly wobbly. Able to walk from one end of the room to the other end and can turn corners. She loses her balance more when tired.
* Can turn light switches off and turn door handles.
* Finally able to say "ma-ma".
