Weight-17 lbs 14 ounces (Had a check-up yesterday for her ear infection and UTI..both are gone!)
Height-not sure, but getting longer!
Diapers-Size 3
Clothes-mostly 9-12 months, but can still squeeze into some 6 month stuff (if it is really cute;)
Eats-3-4 bottles (6-8 ounces) and 3 solid meals a day with some snacks in the afternoon
Sleeps-12-13 hours at night. Goes to bed around 8. Naps are still sporadic, but seem to be getting a little longer. Still the queen of cat napping!
Medicine-we are down to 1 dose of the medication for her hemangioma! WOOHOO! And it looks AWESOME! We follow up with the plastic surgeon this month and I know he is going to be so pleased. We are still watching it closely because we are just now entering the involution phase of the birthmark. These types of birthmarks growth rampantly for the first 9 months and then start going away. The medicine she is taking did exactly what it is supposed to do. And more! In theory it is supposed to halt the growth, but since we got on it so early and we were so consistent with it (it is very hard to give a newborn oral medicine 3 times a day...especially when they have reflux!) it actually began involuting much earlier than normal! She has responded so well to this treatment, her doctor is going to use her a case study.
New achievements-shaking her head no, her claps actually make sound now, scooting around while sitting, going from sitting to lying down (controlled...not just falling over), she has gotten up into sitting once on her own (time to lower the crib again), consistently waving hello and bye-bye, banging toys together to hear the noise they make, taking toys out of something (doesn't put them away yet;), jumping in her johnny jumper, pushing buttons to turn toys on and off, drinking from a real cup, mimicking many more sounds, expressions and movements, holding her bottle (still needs a little help, but is getting much more independent with it), she can stand while holding on to something if you help her get there, and she has 2 new teeth (the top front ones)!
Loves-being silly with her daddy, her dogs, puffs, sunglasses, cell phones, remotes, keys (all of the things we really don't want her to have), bath time, is starting to get into reading books (where it seems like she is listening and looking at the pictures and not just trying to eat the book), being on the floor (she really doesn't want to be held much, especially in the house), her pacifier at night, other babies and kids, music, yogurt, tickling my feet, all of her new toys from Aunt Kristin, her teachers and friends at school!
Not so crazy about-getting her diaper or clothes changed, getting strapped into the car seat (unless she can chew on the strap), finger foods (unfortunately we took a backslide with her eating. For the past 1-2 weeks she hasn't really liked eating table food. I think it was because of the 2 new teeth and am hoping we are coming out of that phase. She had been doing so well and was eating so many things and was pretty much capable of feeding herself an entire meal), having her nose or face wiped, and having to share her teacher's lap at school!
I guess I have been a better blogger lately, because I have already posted most of the pictures from the past month. Here are her 11 month crib pictures! It is almost impossible to get a shot of her on her back! Meanwhile, I will be emotionally preparing myself for my sweet baby girl to turn 1!
