11 months

Once again...I can't believe it!! another month has flown by and Ruby Belle is 11 months old!!! She's such a good baby, and getting so big and fun! I just pinch myself everyday!!

Here's what she's been up to:
  • still trying to "walk" - walks well with push toys...practically running through the house! (yes, i mean it!)
  • stands on her own pretty often
  • moves SO fast!!
  • starting to open drawers and cabinets (thank goodness for safety latches!)
  • LOVES her baths - could stay there all day!
  • LOVES playing in the kiddie pool in our yard
  • just learned how to clap sometimes on command
  • loves to wave...sometimes at the appropriate time :)
  • will give kisses...when she feels like it!
  • enjoys going on walk/runs w/Mommy
  • has 4 teeth now!! 2 bottom almost all the way in and 2 top ones - 1 half way and the other barely there
  • still wearing #3 and #4 diapers, BUT still doing cloth diapers at home
  • wearing 9-12 month clothes
  • naps 2 times a day for a total of 2-3 hours
  • eats last bottle at 7:30 and then goes down to bed
  • gets up around 7am
  • eating more of a variety of foods, some still pureed - not pureed: broccoli, beans (black and baked), watermelon, canteloupe, grapes, blueberries, carrots, noodles, hard boiled egg, green beans, yogurt, Cheerios, and various Gerber baby foods (these are so expensive we don't buy them often)
  • drinks about 22-28oz/day
  • i'm still pumping...just went down to 3 times a week last week and will soon taper that to 2 times a day in the next few days - plan to be done by the time I leave for Shreveport to go to Ty's wedding

(the only way i could keep her confined to take the pics this month!)

Oh she's so cute! She & Harper sound so much alike in their development & interests. Hopefully one day we can get together when we're both in Shreveport. I'm working on the weaning myself & it is HARD!
