Westin Kate you are 11 months old. I think this month has been harder for me to accept than next month will be. How did it happen so fast?? I just mailed out your birthday invitations today :( You have really changed a lot this month and act like such a little girl. You are literally sweet and funny 99.9% of the time. You have the best little personality and the best smile. Everybody stops to talk to you and you LOVE it. You are a little social butterfly and are SO nosy. At times you can hardly eat because you are busy looking at everyone else. I think we may have another talker. You talk, babble or yell pretty much all day long. You can even say a few words already. You have really started copying this month too and it is so funny. Just tonight we were all laughing and you started laughing at yourself too. You had your first stomach bug this month and it was pitiful. Thankfully you didn't throw up so much but you sure didn't feel good for a couple of days. Thankfully since your tube surgery you have otherwise been very healthy. You are still not a good night time sleeper but we are slowly making some progress. At naps and night time if you cry it is only for a few seconds-it took us six months of being in your room to get here. So we will say you are strong willed for sure!! You are a busy bee and keep me on my toes for sure. We are so thankful for you and can't believe you have been here 11 months. We are so excited to celebrate your first birthday with you next month. Here are a few more things you are up too:
- weighs around 20-21lbs (may be even less now that she was sick)
- I have no idea how tall you are (we find out in a few weeks)
- size 3 diapers
- wears 12-18 months clothes- can wear some 9-12 months still
- eats three meals a day with at least one snack in the afternoon
- still gets mostly breastmilk and gets one formula bottle a day (I still can't get you to drink more than 12-16oz a day at most-this is why you still want to eat at night!)
- eats some baby food still but eats pretty much any table food we are eating
- wears size 3 shoes
- is doing pretty good with a sippy cup
- can wave and clap
- LOVES music and loves to dance-you raise you little arm in the air when you dance/hear music
- loves bath time
- loves Wade so much
- has picked up the remote and tried to change the chanel
- yesterday you picked up the nail clippers and put them up to your fingers (you are really figuring things out)
- loves to "hug" and when we pick you up you will lay your sweet head down on our shoulders and hug us
- loves to pat us on the back
- says-dada, daddy, wade, hey- will look at daddy now and yell his name until he pays attention to you
- has said Charlie once or twice and just this week said Mma and mama (on 1-10-13) twice (finally!)
- has four teeth that are in/coming in and has two more that have almost broke through
- loves to "talk" on the phone and even said "hey dada" a couple of times when putting the phone to her ear
- loves my computer and WILL NOT play with any of her toys if I have it out
- crawls pretty fast everywhere and cruises around furniture and toys
- has stood by yourself for a couple of seconds-doesn't seem too interested in walking yet
- loves to kick your feet together in the carseat and laugh
- can climb steps and climb to the top of most playgrounds
Somehow we managed to get a picture of this little stinker girl trying to turn football off...pretty sure she wanted to watch some HGTV. The next picture shows how busy she is!
