eleven months

Size: Pretty much all 9 month clothes don't fit. The clothes she does fit are 12-18 month! And wearing size 4 diaper still. When she lays down she looks soooo long. I am so curious what her weight and height are, but her next well check isn't until next month.

Eating: Altogether she still has a good appetite, but she's had a mild cold off and on, so that can affect how much she wants to eat - can be hard to breath while eating and swallowing. She's nursing 4 times still, has 3 meals, plus 1-2 snacks a day! Little by little we're giving her more bits of our food; experimenting with what she actually likes in solid form. Girl loves her blueberry/purple sweet potato puffs by the way.

Sleep: Paige is sleeping in a little longer...waking up at 6:30am on average - usually waking on the later side of 6:30. Plus, we won't let her sleep past 7, as to not affect the rest of the days routine. First nap is around 8:15am, lasting 1-1.5 hours (we won't let her sleep more than a hour and a half, so it doesn't affect the length of her second nap). Second nap is at 1pm, usually lasting 1.5-2 hours. And bedtime is 7pm. We love her predictability, how she falls asleep fast and her consistently sleeping through the night for months!!!

Milestones/Accomplishments:
- Has four teeth...two on top and two on the bottom
- Has taken up to 4 steps. Usually just does a step or two, often
- Walks confidently along furniture and one handed as well
- Claps
- Shakes head/body for 'yes'
- Points and babbles sometimes
- Waves hi
- Gives high fives...is however skeptical of doing it with people she doesn't know that well

Likes:
- Others' eyelashes and teeth. She'll use her pointer finger and kind of play with them
- The dishwasher...if she see it open, she'll instantly stop what she's doing and crawl over and check it out
- Patting your back/shoulder when being held
- When you say, "I'm going to get you!!!" She'll get all excited, laugh and either crawl or walk (along furniture) away
- Pages in books...she is always grabbing at them while she's being read to and sometimes she'll help turn them
- Climbing/mauling over cushions
- Taking books off the shelf

Dislikes:
We couldn't really think of any new things she doesn't like...
She still doesn't like her diaper changed sometimes...or things being taken away from her that she wants to, but shouldn't...or being put down - like if she just wants to be held, but you need to make food, etc...she'll fuss for a moment.

Additional things I want to remember:
We play chase with Ellie and Paige will crawl the same path (like around the kitchen island or the living room furniture), like she's playing as well. The way she smiles often with her teeth clenched together, tilts her head back, while squinting her eyes and scrunching her nose - it's sooo silly and cute! Her deep her stomach roll and thigh rolls are - cleaning those things takes some effort! Her olive skin tone...I had observed this several months ago, but now it seems even more noticeable when she's next to Steven and Ellie (who are more pale). How she is still so content in the ergo...I think she just loves that closeness...as do I!
