Madelyn - 11 months

Size: 

You weigh about 20 pounds and are wearing size 12 month clothes.  You are wearing size 4 diapers. 

Sleep:

You are finally falling into a predictable sleep pattern & “sleeping through the night” consistently.  You are still napping twice a day although your morning nap is normally pretty quick.  You go to bed around 7:30pm and sleep until about 7:30am, with the random wake up at 6am but you will cry and then eventually fall back asleep.  You are very good about putting yourself to sleep when I put you in your crib awake.

Activities:

You are still into everything.  You love to climb and want to be in whatever room we have blocked you from.  You crawl at a lightening speed and pull up on anything and everything.  You are cruising but haven’t shown much interest in standing on your own or walking on your own just yet.          

 Food:

You eat everything! Doesn’t matter the color, shape, or taste. Of course we make sure that the pieces are small enough for you to eat, but you have pretty much tried everything and normally eat about half of your brother’s meal when we go out.  You still only have 2 teeth  but that doesn’t stop you!

New Things:

You have continued to pick up speed in the crawling department and have starting climbing.  You are cruising more and have started walking when we hold your hand.

You love to make all kinds of funny sounds with your mouth…whether it be blowing bubbles, “purring,” or rolling your r’s.  Dad likes to sometimes call you “Wookiee” from Star Wars because of the sounds you make.

 

You are VERY vocal.  We’re working on some sign language with you because you are trying so hard to communicate with us but it really is just a series of louds screams and yells out of frustration. 

For the first time you took a round trip flight to Dallas and did not sleep AT ALL on the plane…this made for one stressed out mamma.  You couldn’t get comfortable and wanted to be everywhere.  I really miss when you would just sleep in the ergo all flight but you are growing up and want to see everything that is going on around you.
