KEATON TURNS 1!!!!!!!

Keaton's birthday could not have been better. Her actual birthday was last Wednesday and mom and dad just cooked dinner at the house and let Keaton open up some toys and eat a fabulous Society Bakery cupcake. The next day we had her one year checkup and shots, and boy, there were a lot of shots! It was not fun that she realized what was happening and that she was looking at me as if I was causing her all of this misery. She was a whopping 20.5 lbs, 28 inches long and has a rather large head...85%. It will all even out I'm sure! After our very long appointment we took her out for sushi and she loved it... especially the edamame! We had her birthday party on Saturday and were blessed that so many of our friends and family could be a part of it. Nana and Pop Pop got us a photographer to capture all the wonderful moments and it also let mom and dad relax and enjoy the party. So, there will be lots of pictures to come soon from the party. Now that we have a one year old, there are a few changes we are trying, for example switching from formula to whole milk which seems to be working well and switching from bottles to sippy cups that's lets just say is NOT working. The girl loves the nipple on the bottle and she knows what she wants and when she wants it. We tried for a week to gradually switch out just one feeding with a sippy cup and that seemed like it was going to be a very long drawn out process of fussiness so, we decided to just go cold turkey and no more bottles... well, that lasted about 36 hours before the temper tantrums started to consist of Keaton throwing her body on the floor, sreaming, throwing the sippy cup at me. You would think that she would be starving and would just drink from the sippy cup...nope. She actually stopped eating all together so we finally gave in and gave her the bottle. All I could think was thank goodness this is a bottle and not my boob... that would be really bad!
