You have grown up so much in the last month and your dad I swear that each day is different. You are growing so big and strong. It's hard to believe that you'll be a year in a month now. Even though that day was a blur, there are piece of it that are still ingrained and I continue to ask your dad about. I'm like a little kid; wanting to hear the Grace's Birth Story just one more time.
This month not a ton has changed on the feeding side. Just this last week (technically now in your 12 month post)....we decided to move you to two bottles and no baby food anymore. We'll talk about that another time. As you matured from 10 to 11 months though, you have really begun to eat. You LOVE food and at daycare they often comment on how much you eat! You take three 6-7oz bottles at daycare and nurse in the morning and at night before bed. You often finish all your bottles....plus have milk with your babyfood and oatmeal each day. PLUS, once that food cart enters the room, you are over the baby food and want BIG GIRL food! Because of all this intake, you also are known for your poos. Daycare takes bets on how many times you'll go in one day (last week one day you were 7 for 7). You love deli meat and really any kind of meat, bananas, yogurt, baby puffs and baby yogurt bites, black beans, and cheese. You dislike vegetables and watermelon. It's funny, I thought you'd love the veggies...but apparently we haven't taught you well enough:) I can't blame you. Your dad and I love giving you new food and seeing what you think of it. You make dinner time fun.
You are still a good sleeper - taking two naps a day - each about 45 minutes to an hour. We have moved your bedtime up to 6:30 because you tend to be crabby by then and you sleep until 6/6:30am. You love your sleep and Mommy is thankful for that with dad being gone.
You also LOVE the bath. You SPLASH and move your hands around and get everything soaking wet! You are a fish! You also love jumping as well as rolling everywhere. You know how to get on those knees, but it's only used to flip to your back and roll. One fast little girl! You are also making way more noise this month - saying mom-ma and da-da-da quite often. I'm not sure yet if you know what you are talking about - but you make it known. You also like to be sung to and love clapping. Peek a boo is also a new favorite. You dislike being stuck in a car for long. Honestly though, that's the only thing I can think of that you dont' really like!
Oh Grace. We love you so much.
