11 months

Delaney Jane, you are 11 months old!

How in the world are we about to celebrate your first birthday?? It literally seems like yesterday that I was holding you in my arms for the first time :)

Now you are a spunky little bundle of fun! You are into everything and are so chatty!

We think you weigh about 18 lbs and are 27 1/2 inches. You are in size 9-12 month clothing and a size 3 diaper.

This month you really started talking. You can now say a handful of words: Mama, Dada, Hank, baby, no, hi, hey, play, tree and a few other things. You also wave ALL the time and like to blow kisses! You got your 2 bottom teeth too!!

We had so much fun celebrating your first Christmas! You were very interested in the paper, but we sort of got you to open presents.

You still take 5 oz bottles a few times a day and eat lots of solid foods. We have introduced several table foods also. Pretty much anything we are eating, you think you have to have whether you'd like it or not!! Your favorite food is still avocado. You are a champ at drinking from a sippy cup!

You usually take 2 naps a day, both around an hour-hour and a half each. You go to bed around 7:30 or 8 and we wake you up at 6 during the week. Sometimes you sleep later on the weekends.
You are still Hank's biggest fan! You laugh hysterically when he comes into the room!

We cannot imagine our lives without you precious girl. We got your official birth certificate with the name change on it last week, so everything is officially done! We are so excited that this process took under a year :)

We are blessed beyond belief and are looking forward to celebrating your first birthday with lots of family and friends next month!

                                                  We love you so much sweet girl!
