One more month and you will be a year. Wow!
You want to be a big girl and eat big girl food. You still seem to like most foods. We are still giving you baby food to ensure you get enough nutrients. Last week I got lazy and just bought enough food for the next few weeks. I will be out of town and making food is great, but I think you will like all of the variety and new flavors. I think we are very close to getting rid of the baby food anyway. I also think you are starting to be done with nursing (insert mom crying!!!). You want to nurse immediately when you wake up, but it is not for very long. Then when I nurse you at night it is a wrestling match. Because of your loss of interest my supply has gone down, which I think is also contributing to your evening displeasure. There must not be a lot there because you just get mad and toss around. I have gone to giving you a one or two ounce bottle as well and that seems to make you happy. I believe this is the start of the end of nursing. I am very sad about it.
Your sleeping is still pretty much the same a couple of naps through out the day and sleeping through the night, but you are having difficulty going to bed at night. We have spoiled you little girl. You like to be rocked, but then at the same time are very fidgety. When we put you in bed you lay down, but as soon as we walk out of the room you stand up and cry. Basically you want us to stand there and pat your back or let you come in the other room with us. We have instituted somewhat of a cry it out method, and every evening you cry less and less. Last night it was less have a minute.
Highlights this month...
- You play peek-a-boo and laugh the entire time.
- You also like to play patty cake. You have clapping perfected!
- We went on a family vacation to Branson.
- I think you are about to get another tooth and the drooling is out of control!
- You are ON THE GO! You crawl, climb, stand, and have taken a step here and there.
- You are standing on your own for several second.
- You can hold a little food pouch and feed yourself!
- You watched your mom and dad play in a tennis tournament.
- One evening I found you and your sister making a house behind a living room chair. It was so cute to see you guys squeezed behind the chair having a blast together.
- You LOVE the pool.
- You are actually playing more with toys. You seem to understand what the toys actually do. You also love to play with anything that is your sister's.
- You and Addy love to play with her soft pottery barn chair. You girls play peek a boo and chase each other around it.
- You are still a mama's girl and like to be held by me in the evenings.
Lilah, you continue to grow and be a happy happy girl. I am so excited to see you learn new things. I am trying to cherish every single second of your first year. It is so fun. We love you very much.
Love you forever and always,
Mommy
