We've been battling major bugs in the last two months, so even though I did take Carol's 10 month picture on time, I never posted it! So here is 10 and 11 months!
So in the last two months...
....you have had two more ear infections, two cases of strep, and RSV. Needless to say, it's been a rough period of time! You seem to be on the mend now, and you have an appointment to get ear tubes (yay!!).
...right when you turned 10 months, we employed the "cry it out method" to try and get you sleeping through the night. We put you to sleep in the pack-n-play in the living room one night. You cried for about 30 minutes that first night, but put yourself back to sleep....and you haven't cried since! It only took that one night! Yay!!! You now sleep 7-6 pretty regularly, only occasionally waking up a little earlier or a little later.
...around 10 months you were really cruising around the furniture, and it would just make your day when you took someone's finger to walk around. You just thought you were hot stuff!! Then, you started taking one step, and finally on the day you turned 11 months old you took several steps in succession to your Aunt Ronna! (and it has been non-stop since then!)
...you love to put stuff in your mouth! :) Especially your sister's Barbies. They must taste exceptionally good.
...you weigh over 20 pounds now! This is pretty amazing considering that your sister didn't weigh that much until 18 months old!
...you have made the transition to 12 month clothes! You have a very cute pudgy belly and legs, although I assume you will start to lose that now that you are a walking machine!
...your hair has finally started to grow a little bit! You have a few wisps on the back of your head...still not much on top, though! You play with it sometimes when it bothers your ears!
...you love to eat (when you feel good, that is!) You will often eat 2 tubs of food at a time....blended fruits and cereal are your favorite, along with anything with sweet potatoes.
...you are such a joy....living up to your middle name. You laugh constantly, especially at Emma. You have some sounds that you make consistently...namely "Ah-Da" and "Ah-Doh". You love to blow kisses "muuuah", and will wave bye-bye. You also love to play peek-a-boo!
...as I was reminded the other day that your big sister was having her 4th heart surgery at this time in her life, I am so thankful for your healthy life (even with all the strep and ear infections!). You bless our lives so much, and we can't imagine our family without you!
