Eleven.

Eleven months old!! That means the big 1 is next and I'm having a hard time processing it. 



Health: Avery doesn't have a check up this month but I'd bet she's about 18 pounds. We saw our ENT and everything looks great. He gave us an antibiotic for her never ending cold and it cleared right up...for about 2 weeks. I'm convinced she has allergies. 

Personality: Happy happy happy. She loves people and seeing new things. She's sweet and cuddly, shy at times but so personable too, silly, hilarious, and did I say sweet? 

Eating: Everything. Especially if it's something we're eating. She MUST have it. The only purées she really eats are the pouches if we're out and about. Other than that, it's all table food. She is having table food at daycare too! She's still taking bottles at daycare but at home she only gets sippy cups and does great with them. She still hates a straw but does great with the soft spout or cup rim sippy. She is getting formula but only for a few more weeks. I'm sooo ready to be done buying formula.

Sleeping: About the same. She sleeps through the night about half of the time. She's had some teeth break through so I'm hoping she's back at it soon. When she does wake up, it's only once and for a quick bottle. We're going to start trying to wean the night bottle but will follow her lead with that. She's still a bad napper but I'm starting to figure that's just how she's going to be. She takes a short nap at daycare and then usually comes home and crashes at 5:30. That's pushed her bedtime back but again, we follow her lead with these things. 

Her favorites: Avery loves bath time, playing in her car seat (when it's not in the car), waving at people, brushing her teeth, playing with the Tupperware and opening cabinets, drawers and doors.  




Things she could do without: Straw cups, grass, and getting her nose wiped. She hates them all.

Milestones: We have a walker!! And she's doing pretty good too! Avery has 5 teeth and can wave and clap. She says dada, mama, bye and hi. 

Big events: This month we celebrated Avery's first Easter and went to aunt E's wedding in Greenville, SC.  



Mommy: Other than being in denial about Avery's first birthday, I'm good! Darrell is starting a new shift and I'm really looking forward to having him home and some help in the evenings.
