Sweet Girl~
You have gotten to be such a big girl over the past month! You love to sit and play with your toys on the soft spot. Speaking of the soft spot, you all should visit the site and go to the photo gallery to see some pictures of my little models (aka: Camden and Drew). A friend created the product and asked us to do a photo shoot for her new website and we got a complimentaty soft spot, yippee!
You love bath time. After we wash you, you sit up and love playing with toys and then you love being on your tummy as you scoot around the tub splashing and playing. You love watching the water circle down the drain too.
You have made eating time much easier, you don't spit out nearly as much food as you used to. We introduced chicken and turkey at dinner time and you L-O-V-E them both. Mommy and Daddy can't stand the smell of them at all though! You love it when I get a bottle of juice for you. Once you have your eyes on it, you open your mouth and get very excited! You still nurse 4 times a day, in the morning when you wake, around 10:30 after am nap, around 2:30 after pm nap and before bedtime. Mommy is thinking 1 more month before I start to wean you. I really wanted to make it to 1 year for many reasons...but, not being able to eat dairy has been really hard. You also don't want to nurse as much anymore. You would rather be looking around the room or listening to Drew play. The morning and evening times are easy because we are usually alone, but the two daytime feedings are becoming difficult. Since you have not been as interested, I feel like my supply has dropped off some. I started to feel this way around the same time with Drew and started to wean him at 10 1/2 months. I thought I was going to make it longer with you, but it doesn't look like that will happen after all.
You are starting to scoot backwards when you are on the ground, it won't be long before you are cruising all over this house making mommy baby proof even more.
Most nights, I put you to bed around 7 and don't see you again until 7am (except when I tuck you in before I go to sleep :) You still take 2 naps a day and somedays I put you down around 4pm for a quick 3rd nap before dinner.
You are starting to babble more and more. Tonight as you were gazing at your daddy (like most nights) you were really trying to talk to him! Still NO teeth! I am starting to wonder if they are in there at all! You seem to be teething like crazy but still no sign of them popping through your gums!
You have been so much fun lately. You love to be tickled and have the cutest little laugh. Things have been much easier all around for the past month or so. You are so much fun little girl, we love you!
love,
mommy
