11 months 7.29.11

One more month until Hadleigh is ONE! Whew! They don't lie when they tell you time flies when you have children!

The Sleep routine deserves it's own post - so stay tuned :)

This past month has been a big tooth month! She's cut 2 more teeth on the bottom, so she now has 4 in a row on bottom and her 2 front teeth.  I also think some more are coming in, cause she's been a little clingy, drooling, and chewing hard on things still.  it's so cute, but it makes her look more toddler-like instead of baby-like (bittersweet huh?)

We think Hadleigh could totally walk if she wanted to.  She's crawling so fast these days, and pulling herself up on everything.  She's now walking behind a little walker car toy a lot.  And it's super cute - she pushes the walker car and the entire time, she's waving at you! Future Miss America I tell ya! Her personality is amazing.  I know more trouble is coming when she starts to walk, but I seriously cannot wait!

Food isn't as stressful as it was. If I can get fruits and veggies into her from baby food, I use it.  She does however, eat a lot of table food - it's just she doesn't get a lot of fruits and veggies when she's eating table food.  Not because we don't offer, but she must not like the feel or texture in her mouth.  She still likes most carbs, but who doesn't?

Vocabulary

Dada
Nana

Baby
Ball (more like "bahhh")

More things to add to her list of things she does we love! (See here for the beginning of the list)

• Plays with my eyelashes when I'm rocking her to sleep. (Which sometimes turns into her pinching my eye OUCH!)
• The waving as she's walking/pushing her walker around the living room
• The way she screams and squeals when she thinks Daniel or I are chasing her
• Her fake chuckle - and she will do this all day long!
• We baby-proofed our kitchen cabinets, and she will go to pull on them and get so mad cause she cannot open them! Cruel maybe, but so funny at the same time!
• How she gives out kisses with her mouth entirely open.  But all you have to do is lean in with your mouth open, and she'll reciprocate :)
• She stretches soo much when she wakes up.  I would say she spends a good 5 minutes stretching over and over.  She did this even as a newborn!
