Elliet {11 months}

Poor Elliet - I think she will suffer from "2nd Child Syndrome" her entire life!  This momma is not up to speed like I was with Harper.  And I feel terrible.  Really, I do.  So here is Ellie's 11 month update - even though she turns ONE in 20 short days!!!!  :(


Clothing Size: 12 -18 month

Diaper Size: 3

Weight: 23 pounds

Teeth: 8 ( I think)

Speech: Elliet's new word is "Ta Ta Ta" as she tickles her belly.  She pretends to tickle herself and it's the sweetest thing ever. Otherwise she says "pa pa" for puppy, and that's about it so far. 

Eating: 6 oz bottle of formula before naps and bed.  Elliet eats anything we eat.  Her diet mostly consists of finger foods: toast, eggs, hot dogs, green beans, hamburger, diced lunch meat, bananas, etc.  New food this month: strawberries, gold fish crackers, cantaloupe, brat burger, spaghetti, and black olives.  We did finally find a food that she doesn't like: cantaloupe!  

Sleeping: Elliet is still taking 2 during the day - 2 hours EACH!  Bedtime is still around the 8 o'clock hour and she usually goes down without a fuss for naps and bedtime.  She has been sleeping through the night about 50% of the time.  The past few nights have been for about 14 hours straight - I think she's growing!  

Favorite Toy: Baby dolls

Favorite Activity: being outside!

Personality: Busy is an understatement!  We spent a long weekend with our families a few weeks back and everyone got to see just how busy she really is - I think they were all surprised a bit.  She is a happy girl - just ON.THE.GO non-stop!  I don't remember Harper being so active - I told Adam that Elliet is going to be his 'boy.'  For example: Today I got out Harper's old ride-on/push toys - and one of them was a train.  After about an hour of inspecting/figuring out the train - Elliet had already learned to stand on the seat!  She is just nuts!  Something a curious and wild little boy would do!  We wouldn't trade her for the world though - she makes us all laugh - she likes to be funny.  

 Mobility: Not walking yet - but hopefully yet this month.  She walks around the house with her push toys but has yet to take a step on her own.  Her new favorite thing to do is CLIMB!
