11 Months

Once again, I am late.
Emma is 11 months and one week today.
Just 24 more days and I will have a ONE YEAR OLD!
Crazy!
Being a mom has been such a wonderful experience...and very trying.
I hope Emma is loving her life as much as I am loving her and the way she has changed mine.
~She has been really working on walking. She can take about 10 steps on her own before she plops down. I can tell she thinks its awesome.

~Still really not saying any words. She squeals and makes a ton of noise but nothing that I can make a word out of...except dadada...I don't really count that though. 

~She now gives high fives.

~She has 6 teeth.

~Still not even close to sleeping through the night.... but nap times are becoming much much better.

~Eating this month has been a little stressful. She will not open her mouth for a spoon if is she is not busy doing something else. Usually I will give her a paper towel to tear up and feed her quickly before the towel is all in pieces and on the floor.  I don't understand why she fights me on this. I'm thinking she might be over the mush baby food. 

~When we are at her My Gym classes I watch all the other little ones sit calmly and play with toys. Emma cant seem to do that. She has to be moving at all times. 

~She has graduated from eating sand to digging holes when we are at the beach.

This pretty much sums up what my home looks like 98% of the time. 
I still cant believe I kept her alive coming up on a whole year! :)

  1. Oh my heavens, she is too cute!!
    I bet you're right about the mushy baby food. Mia was the same way! So I started giving her tiny bits of banana and avocado, easily mushed in their mouths and I didn't worry as much about choking! Anyway, she might LOVE real food! They watch us and want to be just like us (even though they are still baby's, ha!)

  3. Your last sentence cracked me up! I say the same thing about my oldest...I'm like "I can't believe I've kept something alive for 13 years!" It's incredible if you think about it :) Pat yourself on the back, mama. It is no easy job.
