Brooklyn is 11 months old and we're on the countdown to her first birthday! Waah! She's a busy little bee and she's becoming more active. She doesn't like me holding her as much because she wants to be down crawling and she crawls fast! That has made outings and being at Tyler's school more difficult. She can crawl up the entire staircase now, so we had to bring the baby gate out. She's using her walker some, but she gets very frustrated because she doesn't know how to maneuver it, so once she runs into something and is stuck, she starts fussing until we redirect her. She loves being outside and looks for and points to the moon at night. Her bottom right tooth came in on 4/17 and I feel like I can always tell when she's teething because nursing becomes very painful for a few weeks. We are currently going through a rough nursing patch and I'm pretty sore with her initial latch and teeth! She's eating more tiny pieces of our food- She loves bread-type foods: pizza, sandwiches, donuts, rolls, pasta. She loves corn, broccoli and potatoes. I think she'd eat cheese and applesauce all day, if she could. She just started drinking from a straw. She's officially sitting in the high chair at the table with us. We still need to get another chair, but Travis is making do with a folding chair until we do. She's trying to play little games... opening and shutting the doors, putting things in cups, rolling the ball to me. My favorite update- she clearly says 'Momma" now. It's pretty darn precious! She also started blowing kisses. That's pretty darn precious, too!
We are having a joint 'Beer and Pink Lemonade' birthday party for Travis and Brooklyn! :-) It has been fun to plan so far! I got these cute pictures of her to possibly use in invitations. I just can't believe that she's about to be one!!
Happy 11 month old for now though!
