11 months!!!

Wow...how time flies!  It really hit me this month...around 5:30 (on the 22nd...this post is only a week late) I kept thinking "oh my gosh....this time 11 months ago I can't believe what was happening to me!"  Our lives have been forever changed by this incredible little person!

Here are some exciting tidbits about month 11!

• We don't really know how much she weighs or her height...guess we will find out at the doctor for her one year check-up.
• She is wearing a size 3 diaper and mostly 12 month clothes.
• Her schedule hasn't changed much...breakfast around 7:30 (milk, then oatmeal and fruit), morning nap from about 9:30-10 (although who knows how long she would sleep if we let her), lunch around 12 (milk, then veggies and fruit), afternoon nap from about 1-3:15, maybe a snack, supper around 5:30 (milk, then some meat, veggies, and fruit, and usually whatever table food we are having), and I nurse around 8, asleep by 8:30. 
• She is eating a LOT more table food...and she seems to love it all.  I think that she likes feeding herself so much that she doesn't really want baby food as much.  We usually have to put something on her tray that she can feed herself, and then shovel in baby food as quick as we can.  HA!  She likes pancakes, bananas, cheese, peas, green beans, bread, melts and puffs, and even baby Mum Mums!
• She has still been exclusively breast-fed!  My frozen supply is ALMOST completely up, so at that point I will start supplementing my milk with formula.
• She is on another round of antibiotics for another ear infection.  When we took her to get her ear "re-checked" her new cold (when does she not have a cold?) must have led to another ear infection.  This is her second one.
• New skills include standing by herself, dancing (bouncing) to music, doing the stacking rings, giving us books to read (although she doesn't always listen for a long time), feeding baby with pretend bottle, drinking REALLY WELL out of a sippy cup, putting comb in her hair, and brushing her teeth.
• She says dadadada, nonononona, and SOMETIMES mamamama.  She very clearly says "uh oh" when she drops something off her highchair.  She says "dah" a lot..not sure what it means. 
• She is getting really good at using her walker!
• She still only has her two bottom teeth, but that top left tooth is right there! I feel like it's going to come through anytime.
• At night she cuddles with her soft baby in her crib.  A lot of times when we go in to wake her up she is hugging it next to her!  She doesn't use the paci much, but we give it to her some in the car.  She doesn't always like riding in the car!  HA!
• I think she seemed a little fussier this month...I think it is probably from teething and her ear infection/colds.  Other than that she is such a sweet little thing.  We LOVE her little personality, and she is just so much fun to be around and to take places...we love doing errands with our little helper!
• Brynn, everyone loves you so much!!!  Your grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins can't get enough of you.  Nonna has already told me how much she will miss you over the summer, and the nursery girls at church think you are so sweet.  I know we are pretty biased, but you really are the greatest little thing ever!
