Annalise's Alley: Anna's First Year

Annalise had her 12 month check up last week. She was 22 lbs 1 oz (65%ile) and was 31.5 in (96%ile). She still continues to be a long and strong little girlie! This check up was the first one where Anna put up somewhat of a fight. She didn't want me to put her down at all and did not want anyone to touch her. At one point the doctor was pinning her legs and I was pinning her arms just so that she could have a look in her mouth! The doctor commented on how strong she is because we were both sweating by the time we were done......kinda reminds me of someone else, who shall remain nameless, who from what she is told, was able to put up and fight and run away from the doctor at appointments. Don't know who that would be....hmmm.
Anyway, we have began to embark on a new food adventure. I have been letting her try bits of our dinner each night. So far she is not a big fan of anything except for steamed carrots, yogurt and toast. The problem is though is that as of late she does not want to eat the jarred baby food anymore either....hopefully mealtimes won't continue to be a struggle for too long. I know she won't starve herself but since we have been trying solid foods she seems to want to play with everything more than she wants to eat it. I know that she must get enough to eat though but I just worry...I know, big shocker.
Here is a synopsis of my favorite pictures of Annalise through her first 12 months of life. It was really hard to choose just one picture for each month but here are my favs...
