Jenna: 11 Months

Jenna you are 11 months old today and looking so big!

You started jabbering a lot this month. Your new word is "Hi". I love walking into your room in the morning and hearing you say Hi to me. It's so cute! You also JUST started saying Mama today. I love it!

Now that you are standing up and moving around quickly, you are entering a new stage. The stage where you love the freedom to get into things and explore! Your absolute favorite thing is to be given free reign to crawl around the house. You squeal with delight! You still don't do the typical crawl....yours is more of a worm crawl. But you manage to move around pretty easily. When you stand up you are letting go sometimes, but no real steps yet. No rush baby girl!

You are still an amazing eater. The only food you don't like and throw on the floor is banana. I started giving you cow's milk this month, about once every other day. I still nurse you 4-5 times per day, but I like to introduce milk at this age to help with the transition once you wean. (No plans to wean anytime soon). You have mastered your sippy cup and you clap and squeal when you see me filling it up with water or milk.

Your hair looks more strawberry blond every day!

Your sleep was pretty bad this month. You were up a lot at night from being sick, and many days you only took one nap. I really can't complain though. You're such a happy girl, even when you won't sleep in the middle of the night.

Your brothers still absolutely adore you. And you still absolutely adore Ryan. He can make you laugh SO hard! You're still deciding how you feel about Lucas.

I love you so much Jenna Mae! You are just so soft and squishy (seriously, you have no muscle tone!), and sweet and happy. You are such a gift and a blessing to our family. Happy 11 Months!
