Ok, this time I really can’t believe I have an eleven month old. A sassy, determined, funny, beautiful little girl. And I know I say this all the time, but holy cow did she change so much this month!!

Eating: You started eating more defined meals, and eating a TON more. You went through a huge growth spurt for about a week and a half – and I joked that you had overnight turned into a teenage boy I started introducing cows milk, and mixing it with your formula and you don’t even notice! You mastered drinking out of your sippy cup, and you love to guzzle water. You get that from your mama You eat anything we put in front of you, and you don’t let the fact that you only have two little teeth, stop you! You chomp and gum away at any and everything, but peas and watermelon are your favorite.

Sleep: Still doing amazing *knock on wood* – you have a great routine and if we stray from it, you do not do as well. You’re for the most part still sleeping through the night – from 7:30-5:30. You still nap twice a day – at daycare only for 30 minutes at a time, but at home you will nap for an hour to an hour and a half!

Clothes: You are wearing 12-18 month clothes, because you need it for the length! I can still squeeze some 6-12 onesies on you, but they are getting really snug! We bought you your first “real” shoes this month, and you look so grownup!

Activities: This month you mastered walking with assistance. One night, you just stood up with your walker, and took off down the hallway! You learned how to climb the stairs (time to get another gate for the bottom!) and had your first tumble down them :/ We can no longer let you out of our sight for a second – yesterday I found you chomping on a ladybug! You love to play “peek-a-boo”, going on walks and “chasing” Gunner, and hiding your socks and binkie inside our shoes There is never a dull moment!!

Happy eleven months, sweet Gracie girl. “To know how much we love you, count all the waves in the sea”.
