11 Months Old

Charlotte is 11 months old, just one month away from the big ONE. Our little girl has become busy, busy, busy this past month. She's crawling everywhere and getting into everything. We've had to be very careful with putting away all small objects because everything goes straight in her mouth. She's not pulling up to a standing position yet but she likes to sit on her knees and bounce. I don't think she will walk before her first birthday but I do think she'll be cruising the room holding onto furniture soon. We had one day of warm, sunny weather so I put her in one of the spring outfits I bought her for her 11 month pics :)

 I'm trying to teach her to "love her baby." If you say "kisses Charlotte" she drops her head and waits until you kiss her. She's also started giving us slobbery kisses :)

She had her first real sickness this past week and she's been pitiful! She was diagnosed with RSV and bronchiolitis. We're doing breathing treatments at home but there's not much else we can do. She's been waking up several times at night and not drinking/eating well. The past week has been very tough but I'm so thankful this is her first bout of sickness in her 11 months (besides the stomach bug she had when she was 7 months). I'm praying she will be feeling better soon.

She still only has 2 bottom teeth and there doesn't appear to be anymore coming in at the moment. She started eating table food over the past month and has done great with that. Her favorites are shredded turkey, cheese, sweet potato, ground beef, grilled chicken, black beans and crackers. She's drinking a 6 oz bottle every 4 hrs. She still wakes up one time at night for a bottle because I'm a huge pushover.

She's very vocal. She associates Dada with Grant but hasn't said mama on demand yet. When she's crying she'll say "mommmmaaaaahhhh" and it is the saddest thing ever! She loves strolling, splashing in the bathtub, being outside, messing up William's toys, attempting to dive down the stairs (we need to put our baby gate up ASAP), music, and watching William.

 Still loves to clap, wave, and can sort of blow kisses. 

 She's still a very easygoing, curious and happy baby. 

  We are finally seeing a little hair on that sweet, round noggin'! Charlotte Anne, we love you and can't wait to celebrate your FIRST birthday!!!
