11 months!

Eva Jasmine! Here is your 11 month update. Nevermind that you will be a year old next week. There have been technology problems that kept me from updating, but those are fixed! Yay! Anyway, on Oct 14th you turned 11 months old!

*You weigh 21 lbs. 29 inches long. Size 3 diaper and size 4 shoe. You are still wearing mostly 12 months in clothes, but have a few 18 month shirts just depending on the brand. You are so long waisted.

*You say Mama, Dada, Bye Bye (and wave), Hi, No no and occasionally you will just surprise us and repeat some off the wall word that we say. And then refuse to ever do it again. haha!

*Walking is a thing of the past, now you basically run everywhere. High rate of speed at all times and you can climb anything. When I pick you up from Mothers Day Out or the nursery at church I always have someone telling me that I must stay really busy and that you are climbing and all over the place. Yeah....I know. ;)

*We stopped giving you formula right at 11 months. You just prefer cow milk and weren't taking much of a formula bottle anyway. You take a bottle in the morning and a bottle before bed, but the rest of the day is a sippy and table food. The only baby food items you eat are meat sticks and squeeze pouches of applesauce, etc. You love to eat mixed veggies, anything out of a squeeze pouch, puffs, cheese puffs, bananas, cheerios, the Gerber raviolis, basically anything you can feed yourself. You basically refuse to eat from a spoon. We'll eventually have to work on that.

*You are sleeping much better. Most nights you go down about 8:30 p.m. and wake up around 7:30 a.m. Once or twice a week you will lose your paci around 2 a.m. and I will come find it for you and you go back to sleep. You usually take a mid-morning nap and an afternoon nap, although occasionally you will take one big one in the middle of the day.

*You currently have 5 teeth. 3 on top, 2 on the bottom. You have really blonde, curly hair and big, gorgeous blue eyes. So many people stop me in public to comment on how beautiful those eyes are! You are always smiling and have such a comical personality. You are also dramatic sister! You can throw a fit like a 2 year old!

*You love bathtime, being outside, and your big sister. You are always laughing at her and you love to play in her room. The 2 of you can destroy a bedroom in record time!!! Big sister loves you too! Sometimes....too much. :-/

You will be 1 in just a few short days. I cannot believe it! This year has flown by so fast and it makes me sad that my tiny baby is a toddler! We love you so much. You have the cutest little personality and I can't wait to watch you grow up, but hope that you take a loooonnnngggggg time to do so.
