11 Months!

Wow... almost 1 year old, Caylee is growing so fast!  This month she has mastered walking around with things... anything, a toy, a box, the dogs, my hands.  She has also begun taking steps on her own without help.  Sometimes I don't even think she realizes she is walking fine, until I say "good job!" and then she falls.  So close to walking completely on her own...

She has also learned the sign for "more"... apparently, I never feed her enough so she is constantly doing the sign.  For other things, like milk and her pacifier, she uses real words (well, others probably couldn't understand her, but I can.  As for food, she eats anything and everything.  She is such a good eater!  If I put it on her plate she will usually eat it, it might take a few "test" bites, but she does really well.  It's nice having her eat so much, helps me eat healthier too!

Every morning she loves seeing her dogs.  And thankfully, her mornings are not starting until 7 or later!  That's a huge change from her waking up at about 6:30 and me making her wait until 7.  Today she slept til 8!!  The bedtime process begins at 7:30 and she is usually asleep by 8, so almost a full 12 hours of sleeping.  This means, we have just about dropped the morning nap, but she still takes a 1-2 hr afternoon nap (2 hrs means she'll be a lot happier until bedtime, 1 hr is not great news for me).  She seems a little young to drop the morning nap, but if we run errands and she falls asleep for 10-15 min on the way she is just fine!  (If she wakes early, or at 7, I still do a morning nap).   

She's in her 12 month clothes, which is good, because most of them are fall/winter clothes and it's getting cold here.  We go to the park quite a bit.  She likes to play with the mulch and swing, but she prefers pushing her stroller around the entire time. 

It's crazy to think she is 11 months, but she's doing so great and I'm so proud of the accomplishments I see in her.  I love watching her figure things out and master new tasks.  This is a great age and it just keeps getting better :)


Pretty girl!  Watching her dogs outside before church one morning...

Signing "more".. we had just had breakfast, guess she wasn't quite done, but she had a lot!

Getting her stroller ready to push

 So fun!

Eating lunch... yes, the socks are a mess bc I don't put shoes on her... I just forget, but I need to try to remember bc the mulch stuck to her socks!

A little blurry, but I love seeing her top teeth come through with their little gap! :)

 

Happy 11 Months Caylee Ann!
