11 Months!

Rilynn 

    so far you...

*weigh 21 lbs & are 30 inches long! 

*are still nursing about 4 times a day. Drink water most of the time & had your first taste of sweet tea...big toothy grin for that one! You eat solids 3 times a day with a few snacks but still mostly getting mama's milk =)

*have 10 teeth!! Your first year molars are almost all the way in...I'm not sure if you have any more coming in right now but I'd say it's time for a break...
*have gotten a lot more hair on your head so that your clippy bows stay in without needing a headband now!

*sleep most of the night usually from about bedtime to 5-6am but wake up some nights at random times. Usually go back to sleep after early morning feeding till about 8ish. Nap about 1-2 times a day

*are playing more & more with your toys & some of Greysons. I think you like cars as much as he does. Love pushing buttons, "talking" on the phone (while holding it up to your ear), love hugging & rocking your baby dolls & everything goes into your mouth at least once...-_-

*hate hearing the words no no. You used to cry when you heard me say it but now you just mimic me & go.."uh uh" hmmm already strong willed!
*are talking quite a bit & adding new words to your vocabulary. You can say our names- Mama, Dada, Papa, Nana- Love saying Bye Bye & Hi/Hey while waving. Say nye nye (night night) at bed time & "repeat" sounds of words we say to you  like bah (ball) pah cak (patty cake) etc =)
*if you see people clapping (on a movie, tv or at an event) you chime right in & clap too. You really like singing in church & like listening to music or mommy singing

*are very mobile...you are a super fast crawler & can disappear very fast. You are standing up on your own without pulling up & have taken a few tiny steps but are not walking on your own yet..I haven't tried to get you to but usually if you take a step forward you melt to the floor & scoot across it crawling because it's faster! haha 

*are in size 3-4 disposable diapers, still wearing our cloth diapers & mostly in the all in ones we've had for 3 years

*wearing 12 mo size clothes depending on brand, 12-18 month sleepers & size 3-4 shoes  

*have gotten extremely vocal...very "squealy/screamy" if you have something to say we hear it!  

*you had your first Thanksgiving on a trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN. Went to Dollywood for the first time & got to see a wild bear at Cades Cove

*really like Christmas lights & seeing all the fun Christmas decorations at different places. You have not bothered the trees in our house, but like to touch the ornaments every now & then
*like to interact with other small children/babies & like to play with them. You are learning to share & play very well with your big brother...but there are moments where you take something or he takes something from you & you let him have it. I can't believe that is already happening!
*helped celebrate Greyson's 3rd birthday on Sunday!! You got to ride in his tractor wagon =)

What we are looking forward to: 

*FIRST BIRTHDAY tomorrow!!
*A winter "one"derland themed birthday party that we will be celebrating the week of Christmas
*Christmas week/day with Nana & Papa
