Our sweet angel turned 11 months old on January 17. Can I just pretend for a minute I'm not super sad about the fact that she is about to be a ONE year old?!? I'll save the super sappy post for next time, that may take a LONG time to write.
Collins is growing by the minute, I swear she is chunkier than ever now and it is so darn cute. Seriously, her rolls, I die. Her little chunky thighs are the sweetest thing in the world to me. I mean how long is it cute for a girl to have chunky thighs?!? Yeah...not long, so I'm soaking it up while she's got them :-) I don't know her weight or height right now, will wait on her 1 year appointment to get that information, but just by picking that booger up I know she is gaining weight!
Every day she seems older and older, but really in the past few weeks she is acting more like a toddler and less like a baby. She is finally clapping (she was a little slow on this one and had me worried, ha!) and claps ALL.THE.TIME. now. Especially when I start singing "if you're happy and you know it." She gets so excited. She's walking super fast with her push toys these days and standing on her own longer and longer each day. Her daddy is trying really hard to get her to take her first steps soon because he will be gone for three weeks in February and he doesn't want to miss, but I think he might. She's not quite there yet...although getting closer every day. She loves any toy that involves a ball, she LOVES her stride to ride puppy push toy, and she still loves her thumb and lovie when she gets sleepy. I'm still not positive we've heard any definite dada or mama sounds...although she "talks" a lot now and I do hear different letters first. She's still the BEST sleeper, two naps per day and 12 hours at night. She's a buck toothed grinner right now and it makes me laugh so hard. Two bottom teeth are in and one top with one on the way. Teething hasn't really ever been too much of a concern for her thank goodness. The separation anxiety is getting better, not nearly as bad as it was a month ago. She's totally fine playing by herself at our house it's just when we go somewhere unfamiliar that she gets sad and wants her mama or daddy. Her current fascination is with opening and closing doors, cabinets, drawers, etc. She could literally do it for a good 15 minutes at a time...and that's a long time for a baby!
We took her to her first Carolina basketball game on Saturday and she really loved the lights/sounds and people watching. She'll be getting her first taste of snow soon and I can't wait to see what she thinks.
Our schedule at 11 months: (weekdays)
7:30: wake and bottle (4-5 oz is all she takes now) and as of this weekend we are done with bottles, only sippy cups!!
8-10: play and morning snack (her daycare lady is so good about giving her LOTS of variety of foods)
10: nap (she will usually nap 1.5 hours)
12: 4-5 oz sippy cup and lunch
12:30-2: play
2: afternoon nap (1.5-2 hours)
4: 4-5 oz sippy cup and snack
4:30- Play
6:30-7:30: dinner
7:30: bath
8:00: 4-5 oz sippy cup
8:15: bed
And yes, that is still her 6 month onesie...I just don't feel like going to find a pale pink short sleeved onesie for two more months worth of pictures at this point...because I know that would be the only time she would wear it. So we will just stick with the 6 month one that is a tad snug. :-)
