Charlotte- Eleven Months

Doctor Appointment:  No well visit this month, but she went in again with bronchitis.  She has had the worst cough for two months.

Clothes:  She is wearing 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

Eating:  She is taking four bottles a day, 8oz each at 8,12, 4 and 8. She eats cereal and fruit midmorning and then again at dinner time.  She loves her food!  She loves scrambled eggs, avocado, bananas, and anything else we give her.

Sleeping: She is sleeping great.  She will sleep from 8-8 and I am usually waking her each morning to get the kids to school.  She is taking 1-3 naps a day.  Each day is different based on our schedule, but she usually gets two naps in her crib.

Likes:  She loves to get into everything...her favorites are the toilet, cabinets, and crawling up the stairs.  The kids know to shut bathroom doors and stop her from going up the stairs.  Mason calls her the Tornado and Evie is starting to get frustrated that she is getting into her toys. She loves being held, especially by mommy, loves playing in the nursery at MOPS, songs, books, and being wherever Mason and Evie are.  She lives in the ergo and loves taking baths.

 Dislikes: being left alone in a room, wearing headbands (so sad!  She will take them off as soon as you put it on.)  She has also discovered that she does not like the word NO.  She will push her lip our for seconds and just give you this pitiful look and start crying.  She is the most sensitive of our bunch.

New this month:
She is such a fast crawler, but now prefers to pull up and stand against everything.  She doesn't have much interest in taking more than a step or two, so walking may be a little ways away.  She is clapping, saying "hi" and waving, and has gotten her top two front teeth.  She has started to give open mouthed kisses on demand and loves to snuggle up against you.  She has figured out how to drink water out of a sippy cup.  Hard to believe we only have one more month of formula!
