11 Months Old!

Our baby girl is almost 1 year old!  I have no idea where the last 11 months have gone but when I look back at her monthly calendars I cannot believe all of the milestones she has hit.  Her 11th month was no different.

Amelia cut back to 1 bottle per day at daycare (most days).  This is a huge accomplishment for her because she was still taking a bottle every 3 hours.  She's now eating more solid foods and loving all of them.  She had pancakes, spaghetti and lasagna for the first time this month. We have to space out the bites on her tray because she will scoop them all into her mouth in one bite!  She absolutely loves these foods.  Poor Patton doesn't get any droppings from her though she will let him lick her hand occasionally.

Amelia is also starting to point.  To go with her pointing, she loves to poke at things.  We were sitting on the deck playing one night and I looked over to see her poking at something.  She had a little spider pinned to the deck.  I had to move her hand so it could scurry away.  She didn't hurt it.  She was just so interested in the little thing.  She watched forever as it scurried across the deck.

She is also working on her speech.  We were set back a bit with all of the ear infections.  She now has tubes in both ears and is actually on her 2nd tube in her left ear.  I'm not too concerned about her speech yet.  So far she talks when she wants to and that's ok.  We were playing with bubbles one night and she must have heard me say bubble one too many times as she started saying it!  It was really cute coming from her!







Amelia is also continuing to practice her standing and walking skills.  She can take a couple of steps as long as she is between items.  She likes to practice these steps between our two hassocks.  Unfortunately bumps and bruises come along with this.  She had one really bad spill at daycare and came home with an incident report and a big fat lip.  That poor lip looked so painful!  She didn't even take it easy with that fat lip.  She came home and played for a while and fell on it again!
