11 Months

Where has time gone? In less than a month my baby will turn 1 year old! I just can't believe how fast time is flying by. Part of me can't wait to see who she grows into, what kind of person she'll be and what she'll do with her life. A bigger part of me wants to find the pause button and freeze her just like this! I want to keep her the sweet Molly Grace who sucks her fingers, crawls up in my lap to snuggle, waves at everyone, dances to any kind of music, thinks Peek-A-Book is the funnest game ever...I want to remember this stage forever!



We were at the pediatrician office yesterday on her 11 month bday so I have an exact weight! 20.4 lbs! She finally reached 20! Of course this was with all her clothes on and holding her toy! ha!

She celebrated her 11 month bday finding out that she has another double ear infection and the croup! Yuck! We started a stronger antibiotic last night, though, and she's already feeling better. Her cough sounds just awful, though.

Moving on to the funner stuff!



At 11 Months...

Size 6/9 month clothes and some 12 month (more for the length)
Size 3 diapers
Size 2 shoes

3 bottles a day (24 oz of formula)
3 meals a day (2 stage 3 baby foods and 1 table food)

MG has 6 teeth and 2 more coming in! She has 4 on top, her 2 bottom front teeth and the 2 on either side are now coming in.

MG LOVES to eat! If I have something in my hand she will throw a fit for a bite! We usually have to cut her off at meals!

She loves squash and zuchinni, yogurt, marshmallows, cheese, pancakes, and anything with apples the best!

MG has started "dancing" all the time. I've always danced her around when she wouldn't sleep and just for fun and she's always loved music. Now she'll stand there and bounce to her own beat! It's too cute!

She's standing for long periods of time now. She wants to step so bad, but just isn't brave enough to try. Which is funny because usually she's fearless!

MG loves bathtime. She can sit up all by herself in there and play. I don't have to hold her at all anymore. She splashes, stands up, and plays! She loves when I blow her hair dry afterward!

She could care less about the Christmas tree. She hasn't touched it once! I figured she'd be right up in the middle of it. I'm curious to see what she does when presents are under it, though.

She's saying more and more words. She says da-da of course and when she's mad now she's strings off the loudest dadadadadada. She says ma-ma a little more. Mom said she said pap (or Pa) yesterday. She loves to clap and say yay!

Her favorite toy right now is her play keys and an M keychain I bought her. She used to throw a fit for mine so I got her her own! It goes everywhere with us and Heaven forbid you try to take it away!

She's crazy about Bandit. She loves to see him come in.

Molly Grace, you are still the prettiest, sweetest, sassiest, funniest, smartest girl in the whole world!
