11 Months old...no way!

This is the last monthly update before Charlotte turns one! This has been one of the best and challenging years of my life. She is the sweetest, loving, challenging, stubborn baby girl and i could not be more happy to be her mommy.

There have not been any doctors appointments since the last monthly update except her physical therapy (whole other post) so I'm guessing on her growth. I would say she is roughly 26 pounds and about 26 inches long. She is wearing anything that fits and that could be from a 6 month to an 18 month and even some 2t shirts?!? Diapers are about to get more expensive because she is moving from a 3 to a 4...you know less diapers in the box equals more per diaper.


She is still eating roughly 24 oz of formula and on her last can...on to milk! As far as table food she is really eating so many new things and new textures I can not keep track! I was told from her therapist and infant specialist that eating may be an issue for her with the SPD but lately it hasn't stopped her. Charlotte is finding independence in the eating department as well and that is fun to watch and not so fun to clean up. While we do not condone food throwing she fells like rubbing it all over herself and the highchair are necessary for a well balanced experience.

Sleeping has been the same except that she is getting up around 6-630 now but it really works out best for us anyway despite how much I want to push the snooze button :)

No new teeth.

Charlotte is now saying: mama, yaya(dada), KK(Clayton), nana(banana), na(no), nanu (thank you) and she can sign tons of things! Some are in her own language but we can usually figure it out.

She can high five and low five and she can also make the Indian chant noise/mouth movement...you know what I'm talking about? (I'll try for a video) 

As far has her gross motor delay she is progressing little by little. The major improvement is bearing weight on her feet and legs. The next big step with be to stand with out assistance. She is also booty scootchin, her version of crawling.
