11 Months Old

Stats:  17 pounds, size 3 diapers, 6-12 month clothes, 8 teeth.

Eating:  Still nursing 4-5 times per day and eating 3 meals and snacks.  You love pasta, especially mac n' cheese (organic of course).  You love all carbs, hence the pasta...pancakes, toast with peanut butter, graham crackers, pita bread.  Green peas are your favorite veggie like your daddy.  You love your blueberries, but oranges have become your favorite fruit.  I can't peel them fast enough!  You are not a fan of potatoes...creamed, baked or diced.  Eggs are a no go as well.  I'm guessing you aren't a fan of the texture.

Sleep:  Two naps a day lasting an hour each and you are sleeping 11-12 hours each night.  Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself!  At 10.5 months, you magically dropped your 4-5 am feeding.  Mommy makes sure you eat a lot at dinner LOL.

Personality:  Already showing a little 'tude' like your sissy when things aren't going your way.  If you see your swing and I can't put you in immediately, the tears and crying happens real quick!!  Or if I have to take something away from you that you aren't suppose to be playing with, the water works begins. Even with the show of disappointment, you are a cuddlier.  You bury your face in my shoulder then rest your head on me when someone you don't know talks to you.  So bashful.  

Likes:  Swinging, being outside, playing in the playroom, bubbles, balls, sliding, watching your sister, chasing Brody, stuffing anything in your mouth that you find on the floor.

Dislikes:  Having your diaper changed, changing clothes, going in your sleep sack, riding in your car seat or sitting in your high chair for too long, sitting you down when you just want to be held.  You arch your back and cry so you can't sit.  You little stinker!

Talking: 99% of the time you are babbling or squealing.  You can say 'mama', 'ahh', 'la-la-la' :)

Milestone:  Crawling, pulling-up, cruising on furniture and climbing the stairs.  I am so thankful you were a late crawler because now I can't take my eye off you for too long.  You b-line it to the stairs almost always.   

  

Haven't Figured Out:  How to sit down when you are standing.  Not sure why, but if are standing too long, you start to whine and I have to sit you down.  Thankfully you can sit back down in your crib.  You always stand up once I put you down.  I would have to go in and lay you back down over and over again until you finally gave up and went to sleep.  Now you'll stand for a minute then sit back down.  Wish you would learn how to do it during the day!

You have been and always be an absolute blessing sweet baby.  Your sweet smile lights up any room.  So so happy to call you ours!!  Love you oh so much!!
