Happy 11 Months!

I can NOT believe we are here! REALLY?! 11 months?? Time is just passing TOO quickly and I know I say this all of the time, but I really wish I could just make time stand still!!

This month you had your first bad cold. You caught it from me and I felt SO guilty!! You handled it like a trooper though! You are a fighter, always have been and I know you always will be! We spent a lot of family time in the bathroom sitting in there with the hot shower going for the steam, it really helped! It wasn't so fun seeing you sick but we MADE it through! :) 

 You really are too much! You have SUCH a personality! You are SO silly, funny and pretty much happy all of the time! This month you have been a little bit more "it is my way or the highway" but you get that from me and you usually win...for now! haha

 SIZE

I'm not sure on weight, prob around 17.5-18 lbs. You are wearing 9-12 month clothes now. Today your outfit is 12 months and sadly to say fits perfectly. You are wearing size 2 and 3 shoes and size 3 diapers. 

 TEETH

You officially have two bottom teeth! They have popped through but still have a little ways to go! LOVE the character they give your super cute smile!

EATING

Girlfriend, you can EAT! haha today you ate TWO containers of yogurt. I started with one, then another half and then gave you the rest! HAPPY girl!! (Granted they are one serving a piece, but still!!) This month I let you try mashed potatoes and soup, you LOVE it!! The creamier/thicker the better! You also tried cottage cheese which as a surprise to your daddy and I you really loved too considering we would rather starve then eat it! haha You are still loving your fruits and veggies and are taking 6 oz bottles every 3 hours, when you aren't eating solids, then about 4 hours. I let you have a couple bites of angel food cake with strawberry's from Natalie's baptism and you couldn't get enough! SO funny to watch! You still make your "Mmmm" noises too! It is the CUTEST!!

SLEEP

You sleep through the night still. You usually go to bed around 9pm and sleep anywhere from 9-12 hours. You usually nap 2-3 times a day. Sometimes after your morning bottle you go back to sleep, other times you stay up and play and nap before lunch and then nap right before dinner or right after dinner.

ACTIVITY

You LOVE to sit up on your own and go from sitting to rolling around. You are STILL a wiggle worm and HATE sitting still. You love being tickled, you are super ticklish on your feet, it is so funny because you will pull away your feet when we tickle you but then give them back so we will keep tickling you! haha

You love when we hold you up to stand. We have been standing behind you and "walking" together and you LOVE it!! You will be running around this house in NO time!! You aren't crawling yet, but you are getting close!! You are getting the position down, it is just a matter of time!! YIKES!!!

TALKING

You used to mostly babble, but we are starting to hear ACTUAL words now! You LOVE to say "Hi" it is the cutest!! You say "ma" and "mama" but haven't actually said "da" or "dada." There have been a could times that we could have SWORN you said "daddy." You call your puppy buster "ba." You have started pointing when you want something and if you don't get it right away you let us know you want it NOW! haha

I still can not believe in just a month you will be one! This past year has passed way too quickly!  I am so glad I made the decision to leave my position to be able to spend more time with you. No amount of money could compare to the memories that I will cherish with you forever. We love you so much, every day you become more "you!" You are SO sweet, funny, caring, smart, and adventurous! You literally have no fear and just love being you and having fun. I couldn't ask for more!!

...AND because we are just O N E month away from the big first birthday, I thought I would give little peaks through out the month of details for Olivia's party! 

 I found this at TJ Maxx! ( It says "SWEET" in silver! I can't wait to use it!!)
