Mazy Is 11 Months Old!

I just couldn’t choose one…

Stats: Not sure. We will find out at her 1 year appointment.

Food:
~ Eats about every 3-4 hours and drinks about 5-6 ounces each time
~ Likes to eat Gerber puffs, Baby Mum-Mums, cheese, toast with peanut butter, waffles, Cheerios, and baby food

Size:
~ 12 month clothes
~ 18 month pants
~ 12 month onesies
~ Size 3 diapers and size 4 at night

Routine:
~ Wakes up between 7:45 and 8:30.
~ Goes to bed between 8:00 and 8:30.
~ Had a very rough week of sleeping this past week because of teething. Otherwise she can sleep through the night.

After she wakes up in the morning, we feed her a bottle, play for a bit, then after about 2-3 hours, she is ready for her morning nap.She usually sleeps between 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, then it’s feed time again. By about 1:30 or 2:00 she is ready for another nap, where she will sleep about another hour or so. When she gets up, another bottle and more play time. Sometimes she goes down for a short cat nap late afternoon, but she is growing out of that. At night, if it’s bath night, we will give her one at 7:30ish and she will play for at least 20 minutes. Then it’s jammie time and we give her the nighttime bottle. She usually falls asleep with it, so we put her down for the night. She will wake up sometimes, but singing puts her back to sleep.

Milestones:

Eats foods very well and rarely chokes
Loves to walk holding onto your index fingers, but refuses to walk with just one hand
Has no desire to crawl
Still is not a great napper, but can surprise us with a 2 1/2 hour nap every once in awhile
Vocabulary has increased incredibly. We can now have conversations with her. She says buh or buh-buh which means bye bye. Says mama and dada very well. Can say ah da with arms up which means “all done” and “uh” which means uh oh if she drops something.
Still claps her hands when others cheer, clap, or say “yay”
Has 5 teeth (top front just popped through and a bottom side tooth came through a week ago) It’s true that she looks like a jack-o-lantern
Likes to hug anything soft – is a very affectionate girl
Still likes to play “so big”
Learned how to play peek-a-boo by putting a blanket over her face
Can walk behind the Sit to Stand toy well
Likes to play the piano
Learned to put blocks in an empty gerber puff container

Other Things To Remember:

Mazy enjoys paging through books – we recently bought her a Dog Encyclopedia book and she talks to each of the dogs
Still is obsessed with dogs
Likes it when you rub the top of her head
Enjoys taking her pants all the way off when changing her diaper and throwing them on the ground.
When you put her coat oh, she waves and says “buh” b/c she knows we are going somewhere.
Doesn’t like to wear socks or shoes
Hugs everything
Enjoys playing catch
Mazy is just so full of life! She has not been sleeping well so we will rock her back to sleep, but the minute we put her down, she cries again. She just doesn’t want to miss a beat! We have recently tried letting her cry it out again b/c she is in between teeth, and that seems to work.
