1 year

cookie is 1 year old! our tiny kitten is officially a cat. she went from 5 lb 12 oz to 20 lbs and just over 30 inches tall.  she's walking better every day, but her real talent is climbing.  big girl can climb up onto the couch all by herself, and can throw her leg over mine and climb up on me whether i want her to or not.  she can't quite climb up into our bed yet, but she can get down from it like a pro.  she's very strong and i swear she was doing pull-ups while hanging on the side of her high chair the other day.  at the clinic recently, every nurse and doctor commented on how "busy" she is because she never stops moving and exploring.

she loves phones and pretending that everything is a phone by putting it up to her ear and saying, "hello!"  she knows how to swipe the screen of our phones and pinch to zoom in and out.  she is obsessed with our bellies and loves to lift up our shirts to give raspberries.  she is still very much into music and loves singing and dancing and watching youtube videos.  when i pull up itunes on my computer she recognizes the screen and starts dancing before i even play any music.  she also loves books and will sit by herself, flipping through the pages and talking like she's reading.  several times a day she will bring a book to one of us, crawl up into our lap and demand that it be read to her.  colby went to the coffee shop one day and they happened to be selling a used copy of one fish two fish red fish blue fish.  he bought it for her not even knowing that it was my favorite book as a child.  she squeals happily when she sees it, tries to carry it everywhere, and throws a tantrum when we take it away, but she doesn't quite have the attention span to sit through the whole thing yet.
