11 Months Old!


Dear Elizabeth,

In one short month you will be a one year old! Where has the past year gone!? It seems like yesterday I was still huge and pregnant wondering when you'd make your debut. You're growing up before our eyes and just when we think we can't love you any more, you do something and our hearts just explode! You continue to amaze us every day with your ability to explore and move about the house. We can't wait to celebrate you being here with us for a year!

We love you so much!
Mommy and Daddy



Weight: No idea!

Length: Getting longer... I'm about to have to move the jumper up again

Diaper size: Size 3

Teeth: We have two teeth - the bottom two

Clothes size: You're wearing 6-12 months, 9 months, and 12 months clothes!

Sleep: You go to sleep pretty much right at 7 (after your last bottle of the evening). Most of the time you'll sleep until 6:30-7, but there are times you wake up earlier. We try to let you play in your crib until close to seven, which works most days!

Favorite activities/things: Sitting up, crawling, pulling up, trying to stand without help, cruising around furniture, watching GiggleBellies, trying to pull on the blinds, playing peek-a-boo, and perhaps your most favorite activity... trying to play with Mommy and Daddy's iPhones or the TV remote!

Eating: You're pretty much down to 1 bottle a day, and you drink the rest of your milk in your sippy cup! We're even starting to decrease the amount of milk in your bottle before bed. You typically drink about 18-21 ounces of milk a day. You've also found the joys of Chick-fil-a lemonade and Apple and Eve fruitables juice (You've had a cold the past few days, so Mommy has been pushing any and every kind of liquid) still eating 3 meals a day, and most of them time you eat a snack after your afternoon nap. You eat whatever we eat (within reason), and have become an excellent eater!

Nicknames: Sweet Pea, Miss E, Lizzie, Little Bit

Talking: You're still very talkative. You love to talk to yourself, and it just makes me and Daddy grin! I'm pretty sure that you know that "dada" is Alan, but I'm not quite sure you know that I'm "mama." We just love to hear your voice~

New adventures: You finally got moved to your "big girl" carseat! And you love it! I am finally beginning to be able to sit up front again (and part of this might be due to the fact that you don't drink bottles during the day anymore).

New Skills: You've started to push up to a standing position (instead of pulling yourself up) and stand without holding on to things. You also learned how to give Mommy a high five - for some reason you don't do it with Daddy yet... You also start clapping when I say "Yay!" However, the big thing is that you've kind of taken a couple steps this month (Feb 17). I don't really count it as walking, because it was more of a fall into Mommy than a walk to Mommy, but you're definitely getting closer!

The lighting is a little off on the outside pictures... I'm planning on retaking most of them as soon as she wakes up (plus I never got a good one for her birthday invites!)





So sweet!



What, I'm not supposed to
climb on this?
