You are 11 Month! I can't believe you are really almost a year old!
In the last month:
~ You have gained some weight, but according to a doctor's visit a week ago, you have not gained any height.. At that visit, you were 21 lbs 3 oz and 26.5 inches. Not sure what we are going to do with you, short stuff...
~ You have started walking! On your own!! All over the place! It's the big accomplishment of this month! We are so proud! (We would like it more, though, if you just went back to sitting and weren't going 90 to nothing constantly...Kidding! Maybe you will get your lazy parents into shape...)
~ You drink about 24 oz of formula a day, eat 3 meals and atleast 1 snack a day. You are getting better and better at the sippy cup, but still not drinking a whole lot from it. Your favorite foods are anything that has potato or sweet potato in the name. You also like most fruits and veggies including apple sauce, green beans, fried okra, and peaches.
~ You are sleeping from 8 pm to 6 am every night. Most days you take atleast 2-3 naps totaling 2-4 hours. You are sleeping well in your own room at night.
~You are still wearing size 3 diapers...
~You are almost out of all of your 9 month clothes and wearing almost all 12 month clothes (except your smocked dresses which run big...)
~ You travelled with us to visit Fayetteville to spend time with your grandparents on your dad's side this month. We also visited with your great grandma and your great aunt and uncle! You played in their pool an had a blast!
~ You also got to visit with your Aunt Anna! TWICE! Once in Fayettville and once in Little Rock. She and you had a blast!
~ You also spent a lot of time with Gigi and Pops as well as their parents! You also got to hang with your great Aunt Ruth! It was a great month for family time! We enjoyed it as much as the family and you did!
~ You spent quite a bit of time with your dad before he started back with football. You two had a blast! Unfortunately, he is back in football mode, but we have you cute outfits to wear to cheer him on!
~ You had a bout of bronchitis this month that really got you down. You had a high fever and felt terrible. We had to see a different Dr., but he did a great job!
Bella,
You are getting so big on us! Each day you wake up and smile at us and fill us with joy that we have never known.. You are now toddling your way around the house. You are managing to find ways to make trouble - however you are so cute and sweet doing it that we don't mind too much! We have baby-proofed and continue to work to make sure you have fun and can be curious without worrying too much about you. You are such a happy baby! Most mornings you wake up with a smile on your face! You are also a great snuggler. There is nothing better in this world than snuggling with you! We only hope you stay as snuggly as you are these days! We love continuing watching you grow and learn each and every day. Just when we think that you can't be any cuter or we can't love you anymore than we already do, you give us a grin that makes us warm and fuzzy inside! People constantly comment on how pretty and happy you are. We smile knowing that they only see part of how wonderful you are! You have also been told you look like a sweet, baby doll or a china doll. It probably doesn't help that your mom loves to dress you up in frilly, pretty dresses. We love it (or atleast your mom does!)!!! B, as we enter into your last month before you turn 1, we can honestly say we can't wait to see how this month changes you! This has been the best year of our lives! Thank you for all of the wonderful moments and days of your first year. We are so proud to be called your parents. We love you with all of our hearts!
Love Always,
Your Mommy and Daddy
