11 months has come and gone!

My sweet sweet baby is 11 months old today.
Do you know what that means? In one month she will be one year old {your welcome for doing the math there for you..math is hard i know }
That also means she will no longer be a "baby"....she will officially become a "pre-toddler" .......sad and happy just don't belong together...but thats exactly what i am!

I need another baby asap...only babies don't really come together asap...dang.


Anyways at 11 months old Leighton acts more like a 1 1/2 year old. Every day I'm amazed at how well she moves around, how she does things like throw a ball, and her food, and everything else...fun stuff going on in this house!

Were walking of course...if your a friend on FB you've seen the videos, she still crawls places she needs to get to fast, but she's really really good at walking! It totally weirds my sister out when she walks. My sister has 2 children who have large heads...and in this case the ration large heads=large brains is VERY True. I swear Shayne was counting to me in spanish at age 2 and reading me books, but was barely crawling at a year old..its hard to balance that large brain on such a small body :) and her littlest is the exact same way. Its funny how different our girls are, hers a super smart and mine is going to be an olympian. Of course I think my daughter is smart to, but not "shayne" smart...shes on her own level ha!

So were walking, crawling, throwing, laughing like a crazy person ALL day long...everyone comments on her dorky laugh, its so funny! If you laugh, or someone on tv laughs, she will fake laugh right along. She also claps for pretty much everything. She waves HI to everyone we see all day long, and most of the time thats followed by a "air kiss" she loves to blow kisses..sweet girl :) She's also into blowing raspberries, she will come up to me in the kitchen and just start blowing them on my legs..goof.

Still not saying very many words, though she blabbers all day long in her own language, and squeals with the best of them. The words she says clearly are mama, dada, bye, and hi. She has attempted to say all done (ahhduh) gigi (giiiii) and her new favorites dog and duck...only for both she just says DUH...so it can be a bit confusing ha! Today she was looking at a book and i asked her where the apple was, she pointed right to it..then i said wheres the teddy bear, she dropped the book and started patting her chest and laughing that goofy laugh. Have i mentioned i love her?

She's also obsessed with belly buttons...but it doesn't matter WHO you ask her has a belly button..she comes straight to me a pushes my shirt up haha! Which leads me to another new fav skill...pulling on mommys clothes! She lifts my shirt up, looks down my shirt, looks up my pant legs, dresses etc, tries to pull my sleeves off, she just doesn't understand why I'm not naked all day long!

She has 3 teeth, two on bottown and one canine, i found the other canine pushing through yesterday..so any day now we will have 4 teeth!

I weighed her at my grannys house and she came in at 22 lbs. Still a big girl. Growing out of most of her 12 month clothes, 18 months fits the best. Grew out of all of her shoes.

Still eating really well, she will try anything i give her, but that doesn't mean she will eat it all. She's not a big breakfast person...neither am i. There are far to many foods to list that she's tried..pretty much everything other than any kind of nut/honey, red meat, and berries.

For breakfast she usually eats bananas, oatmeal, yogurt..and not very much of any of it.
Lunch she has mango/kiwi/peaches/pears, steamed zucchini or squash chunks, some turkey and cheese, then she has a snack of yogurt before nap.
Dinner she has either steamed eggplant/avocadoes some veggie pasta, cherries/blueberries, and maybe mushrooms.

Sleep is hit of miss nap wise, she's in that wierd 11-14 month nap funk most baby wise babies fall into. She's still a total ham and happy even when her naps are off..if she doesn't nap well we do early bed times of 6:15-6:30...and yes she falls straight to sleep and sleeps till morning.

6:30 wake stay in crib
7:00 up breakfast, go on walk
9:00 nap
10:30 up
11:00 lunch
12:30 snack
1:30 nap
3:00 up
6:45-7:00 bed

thats what it should look like..and some days it does...some days were off...o well :)

Im going to take her pics tomorrow! SO keep an eye out for those :)
