eleanor: eleven months!

weight/height

no clue. ill do this for next month. i feel like she hasnt done much physical growing this month, but who knows that could be wrong (i should have measured her every month. maybe ill start now). they do so many doctors appointments when you're pregnant and the baby is born and then they have months in between so many of them now. just a weight and height update would be nice haha.

mom im big and happy and growing!

health

she tends to sneeze a lot (and many times in a row!) but other than that still a happy healthy kiddo.

food. i like food.

clothes

12-18 months seem to fit her best. there are still some 9 month onesies in her drawer/closet... and lets be honest, they'll be there for a while (and likely end up on her at some point). still havent gone through her drawers or closet any time recently. i do know that i have a ton of clothes in the basement... anyone having a baby girl any time soon?

sleep

still a great sleeper and napper. tends to fall asleep in the car if shes super tired (as long as henry isnt in there with her).

crying

she likes to belt out screams and real tears when she doesnt want to go to sleep or doesnt want to be put down on the floor to play, but other than that shes pretty happy.

milestones

she got her 6th tooth recently (bottom front right... so 4 teeth on the bottom, 2 on the top). she started waving (backwards), clapping, and pulling herself up onto things. not really that close to walking yet, very wobbly, but you know it wont be long until she is steadier and on the move.

baby gear love

well our love for the walker is pretty much over... while under the watchful eyes of the grammys (hehe it was NOT their fault, we just love saying this and henry definitely threw them under the bus saying they werent watching her, which we know was not the case)- she climbed over the side to reach for something and the whole thing fell over and she fell out. onto her head. had a small little mark. she didnt seem too phased by any of it. we've added one of ty's belts to see if we can keep her in, but you definitely need to watch her now. it was a nice babysitter while it lasted. we've set up some toys in the pack and play to keep her corralled but she isnt all too interested in being in there for long. i guess ill have to look back at henrys blog and pics to see what we used with him to keep him happy. this is a fun age but kinda tough at the same time. 

still love the bob

reading time

outings
we went to the beach to beacon kids fun run to watch henry run, and then went away to the lake for a week! she loved being in the water, the wind chimes, and hanging out with aunt mary and cousin lindsay.

stylish in my new glasses

yes youre ok as long as you feed me

is that a bagel you have? ill take some too please

diapers

size 4 and 5. sadly the size 5 dont have the yellow/blue line. i hate when we get to that point! why are we already at that point?! why dont they just keep making the line?!

it was hot and she was protesting getting dressed. so we just didnt.

diet

she basically loves anything that we give her that she can feed to herself. we gave her some cheese which she liked, hard boiled egg, some pieces of turkey which she ate but didnt seem to love. pasta salad noodles (likely had a dressing on it and some feta cheese, she ate it all up!), and she tried ice cream and cake which were a huge hit (no surprise! practicing for next month!)

food


foooooooood


more food. all the food. please and thank you.

likes

bananas, feeding herself, (food in general), still loves bath time, playing with henry, chasing the cat around, putting everything in her mouth (including dog food. oops), playing with everything she shouldnt (including the toilet brush... omg double oops. also, gross eleanor)

had her first big girl bath!

and after 10.5 months daddy finally gave her a bath!

and had her first bath with brother!
(we take a lot of bath time pics)
