11 months old today











Our baby is not so much a baby anymore. It's crazy to think she's almost a year old.
She continues to amaze us more and more every day. Her newest thing is thinking she can walk so she goes for something with a few steps and resorts to crawling to get to it. :) I'm sure she'll be walking soon! Just seems like she's really taken more interest in the last week!
Looking back on the past month:
Eating
-Eats 4x a day
7:00-nurse, solids
11:00-nurse, solids
3:00-nurse, solids (just recently started changing this to just a snack after nursing and solids then at 5 instead)
5:00-fingerfoods and what we are having
7:00-nurse
-likes anything green (broccoli, green beans, avacado, spinach, peas)
-will eat her yellows and oranges (squash, sweet potatoes, carrots) but really only likes them pureed still
-took a recent interest in shredded cheese and pieces of Ezekiel bread
-really only likes these fruits in finger foods-bananas, strawberries (loves), grapes, oranges, sometimes apple
-likes all fruit purees
-really enjoys yogurt (mixed with a fruit puree) in the morning after she's had cereal and fruit
-does not like egg (introduced it to her and the first day she at the whole yoke...now she doesn't want to have anything to do with it. I may try scrambling the yoke.
-is starting to become picky so we are working this out :)
Sleeping
-naps 2x (usually 9am and 1/1:30pm) for 1-2 hrs.
-sleeps through the night (7am-7pm)
Likes
-to be around people
-to be outside
-playing independently
-board puzzle
-talking
-her baby doll
-books
-playing the piano with daddy
-anything she can bang together to make noise :)
-adventures
-looking out the front window
-going for walks in her stroller
-playing with other kids
-for us to sing to her
-when we make different noises/sounds
Dislikes
-the vacuum
-when it's quiet (she will even turn on toys that play music for background music when she's playing (she'll turn it on and go back to playing with what she was playing with) :)

Little girl,
You have forever changed our lives! We are so blessed! Even through the tough times may we be mindful of how blessed we are and never take a moment with you forgranted! I constantly have to remind myself that we are all imperfect but keep striving to be the best we can be as we seek God for wisdom.
Love,
mommy :)
