Hannie, at 11 months, you...
- Weigh about 19 lbs, and fit into both your 9 month and 12 month clothes.
- Said you first real word this month! You said "More" when TyTy was kissing you, and you kept saying it and reaching your face for him. You love to give kisses, too!
- Your delicious thigh rolls are slowly receding a bit as you move around more and more and burn off those calories. Your skin in baby soft as can be, and rubbing your soft legs and belly is one of my favorite things to do. You adore when I rub your sweet cheeks. :)
- Eat three HUGE meals a day, and are loving your sippy of water at every meal. Some of your favorite things to eat are cheese, fruit, turkey, chicken, eggs, broccoli, any kind of carb, yogurt, and I think raspberries are your favorite! You SCREAM for more food in between bites if we don't get it to you fast enough. I have never seen a little person eat the way you do....
- Are SUCH a Mama's girl! You want Mommy to hold you like all the time, and squeal Ma- MA! If you want me. You are SO super snuggly with me when you are sleepy, and I love every second of it.
- Made it through your first AWFUL cold in the last month. Your nose was bleeding, and you were just miserable. My heart broke for you, darlin, but you made it, and stayed your happy self through most of it.
- Are pretty much over nursing on most days. You are far too busy to take the time to stop and snuggle. I am desperately trying to make it to one year with you!!
- Have been sleeping in your leg brace for about a month and a half now. You still flop over sometimes in your sleep. We are hoping so much that you continue down the path of healing your hip dysplasia. We are seeing such major progress in you, as you have been pulling up onto things and walking with your walker toy all by yourself for weeks now. We are anxious to see how you are progressing at your appointment with the specialist next month.
- Your hernia is MUCH better, and seems to be healing itself!
- You love love love to get into stuff now! Everything is your playground now. You love to climb and shove everything in your mouth at all times. The world is your oyster, and it is such fun watching you explore. You enjoy "Bang Bang" things together to make sounds. You also love to do "SO BIG", NICE, and shake things when we say shake. You are VERY close to clapping!
- Some of your favorite things are "The Wheels on the Bus", walking around on your push toy, standing up, snuggling with mommy, any toy that makes noise, babies, peek a boo, food, sippy cups, kissing people, bath time, board books, other babies, and LEAH is you all time fav! No one makes you laugh and giggle like your big sister does. You two together is MAGIC.
You are so loved, sweet little one.
