Nora's 11 Months

My baby girl is 11 months today! Oh how we love her so, but I will write her one year love letter next month. Today, I will give you an update on her 11 months. She is full of life and wants to be in the thick of things. She is busy, busy, busy and never. stops. moving. If she is still in my lap, she's seconds away from sleeping. She has gotten pretty picky on who holds her these days. She really prefers momma or daddy, Ms. Shelia, or grand. She's generous in giving away her love and kisses though and if you are holding her, beware a slobbery, wet kiss might be coming your way! She likes to just go right in for it and especially to older men...uh oh! :) She weighs, about 20 pounds, maybe a couple over. She eats, mostly table food (vegetables, fruits and meats, cheerios, etc) and 4 bottles a day. She has been taking Similac Soy based formula, but we are currently trying a switch to the hypoallergenic kind because we read that might help with ear infections. She wears a size 3 diaper and 12 month clothing She sleeps 2 times a day for naps. She usually takes a longer morning nap than her afternoon nap which I would switch if I could. She goes down about 7:30-8:00 at night and sleeps until around 6:30-7:00 in the morning. Her sleeping is only interrupted if she is sick (ears have been super difficult for her and interfere with her sleeping the most). She takes a paci only at bed/nap time and only for a few minutes. She has not gotten too attached to it- hooray! She likes her silky blankets by her face when she sleeps. She says mostly Dada, Bye bye, Mama, and Uhh-Uhh (as in no). She has only two bottom teeth. She loves outside, tries to climb on everything, she is taking several steps in a row but isn't technically "walking" yet. She is close though! She is smiley and sweet and loves to hug you tight. She is beautiful, I truly look at her face and eyes and am captivated. She is pure light and joy!
