11 Months - Whoa!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Madelyn couldn't believe she's 11 month old already either, she

was sure we had the wrong sticker ;-)

 

Weight: When we took her into the doctor earlier in December she weighted about 20 ½ lbs so we’re guessing by now she probably weighs about 21 lbs.

 

Length: We upgraded Lovie to a convertible car seat in Ryan’s car because she was out growing her infant seat.  It made sense to put the new car seat in Ryan’s car because he does pick up and drop off at school, since they are in the same building.  Eventually we need to get another one for Sara’s car but for now the infant seat works. 

 

Diaper Size: Still sporting the size 3s 

 

Clothes Size: She still is wearing 9-12 month outfits but some of the pants are getting short because of her long legs so we’re definitely moving into 12 month pants. 

 

Eye Color: Baby Blues!

 

Hair Color: Still looks kind of strawberry blonde from time to time but mostly looks light brown and it seems to be growing so much! 

 

Sleep: She still loves to sleep and does well at night however she had a cold for two and a half weeks so she woke up from coughing and a stuffy nose.  Naps are still somewhat of a struggle.  She will take a good nap if we’re in the car or if she sleeps in your arms.  But if you try and move her to her crib she wakes up and that’s the end of the nap.  Therefore, we’re welcome to suggestions on how to get her to take naps her in crib for longer than 30 minutes!  Although on the flip side if she sleeps too much during the day she doesn’t sleep well at night so it’s a double edged sword so to speak. 

 

Food: Madelyn has quickly transitioned to solid foods.  She enjoys eating ham, cheese, green beans, potatoes, noodles, refried beans, tortillas, pancakes, waffles, banana bread, and homemade noodles from the chicken noodle soup we had at Christmas.  She’s also started to eat solids at school; today she had pears, beets and a chicken patty.  She’s doing great with everything!  We’re looking forward to starting the transition to whole milk soon and saying goodbye to expensive formula!

 

Activity: She’s still not interested in crawling.  She would much rather scoot around on her little bum or hold onto your hands and walk around.  Just before Christmas she got her first pair of real shoes and LOVES them.  When she sees them she scoots over to them, hands them to you and sits there waiting for you to put them on!  Then once they are on you better watch out because then she can really get walking.  She is also exploring everything around her and has gotten much better at pulling herself up to a standing position.  This month she reached another milestone when she finally learned how to sit up on her own.  For the longest time we were wondering when she was going to figure it out and then one night at about 2 a.m. she was restless and when Sara turned on the monitor she was surprised to see Madelyn just sitting up in her crib looking around.  Since then she’s become a pro at rolling over, getting up on all fours and swinging her leg around to sit down, it’s so cute! 

 

We are still trying to come to grips with the fact that our sweet 6 pound 10 ounce little lady is going to be 1 in a few short weeks.  The last eleven months have been amazing.  We’ve made so many fantastic memories and we’re looking forward to creating many more!

 

It's Tuesday so I'm linking up with Kristin for Baby Talk!
