11 months old

WHAT?!?!?

Happy 11 months old to our little monster Abby! Out of nowhere it became near impossible to get her monthly pic!

Here's what she's been up to this past month! It was a busy month :)

*Sleeping like a champ. Going to bed around 7 and sleeping until 5/6 to wake and feed real quickly and then to go back to bed until 7/8. Some days she skips this feeding and sleeps until 6:30/7! She still sleeps in a sleepsack with the noise machine on. She can easily put herself to sleep but if she is over tired she needs to be nursed entirely to sleep.
*Napping is inconsistent. On the days she doesn't sleep in she takes an early morning and a late afternoon nap- totaling around 1 hr and 1/2. On the days she does sleep in she takes one afternoon nap that lasts 45 min to 1 hr. She usually falls asleep in the car but can easily be moved to her bedroom while remaining in her carseat. This is the ideal time to nap since she usually stays asleep over 1 hr and a half when in her room in her carseat.
*She is still nursing but we are down to 3 feedings: morning, afternoon and bedtime
*She is doing such a good job crawling; luckily she hasn't attempted the stairs but I have a feeling that is coming any day (baby gates, please!!!)
*She is starting to scale furniture and has actually "walked" a little bit around the hearth room ottoman
*She can pull up to stand
*She has the BEST laugh! She giggles all the time; especially with Ashley. I feel like they have a silly bond :)
*She is always smiling
*She gives the BEST hugs and is usually wanting to cuddle up to me
*Her hand is always down my shirt in my cleavage when I am holding her. I am not kidding- she must have cold hands and like the warmth :)
*Reacts to "No" and does not like it one bit when we say no
*She is showing frustration. She is becoming a little yeller when frustrated
*She has a couple of words that we have heard- "hi" "mama" "dada" "uh oh" but for the most part she just babbles. We are also pretty sure she has said "Anna" or something close to it!
*Has been given the nickname of "monster" by the girls and me because she beelines to whatever her sisters are playing with and attacks it!!! They haven't quite gotten used to it yet :)
*Plays "shy" when seeing new people- it is pretty darn cute!
*Ask her "Where's your head?" And she'll touch her head :)
*Started drinking water out of sippy cups all by herself!
*Favorite food is still grapefruit. When she sees them she goes CRAZY!
*Just started getting into cabinets- fun times ahead :)

I think that's about all :)

She is one awesome and sweet baby girl :)

Much Love,
Jenny
