Monthy Update {11 months}

11 months. 11 months. 11 months. Trying to let that fact sink in!

 

What a month we had...I'm going to be honest here... Lilly Rose, you were not your happy-fun loving self this past month and it was definitely one for the books. It was the day you turned 10 months old, just like you knew it was your 10 month birthday and time to switch things up a bit. Your mood changed and you were one cranky girl. About a week in (I can be a little slow) I realized you had to be teething and sure enough, you were. Every night this past month with the exception of two beautiful nights, you woke up 2-5 times. Yep, this past month was a sleepless month. So guess who else was cranky besides you? Mama! :)

 

Aside from the sleepless nights and cutting your two front teeth we did have a little fun. We celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving during your tenth month. And important to note, as of this past week we are all getting more sleep. Yay for sleeping through the night again! Here's a little more of what you were up to this past month:

 

-- Lilly you wave and smile at E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. and while it really is the cutest thing this mama has ever seen, you are sure to grab strangers attention who like to come over and talk to us (not my favorite thing). Let's just say our trips to Publix and Target are taking a little longer these days.

-- You can now walk the length of the couch holding on. You love to be on your feet and on the move!

 

-- Meal times have become a little more challenging as you've learned to throw food. Luckily we have Oliver to pick up the crumbs but we are definitely working on this as we don't like you tossing your food overboard.

 

-- Your two front teeth fiiiinnnnaaaaaallllyyyyyyy arrived! That was a very long 3 weeks of fussy, crabby, and sleepless lights but we are all so glad that is behind us (for now as I hear the molars are a bear).

 

-- Pointing with one finger, a new skill you've mastered and use quite often.

 

-- Walking with your stroller (baby walker) is one of your favorite activities. You love to toss out Minnie Mouse as you don't like anyone to ride in the stroller. It's very funny.

-- Talking: Lilly your new favorite thing to say is "hiiiiiii" or "heeeeyyyy" when someone walks in the room. You say "hi" to anyone and everyone.

Even though this past month is probably not my favorite because it was a little more tiresome, it was wonderful because it was with you sweet girl. I'm really enjoying watching you grow and become your own (very independent) little person. I cannot believe in about 4 weeks I'll be writing your last monthly post as you turn one years old. I've said it 100 times, I'll say it again... It just goes WAY TOO FAST! Love you so much Lilly Rose!
