Baby Scarlett, 11 months old!

Here is Scarlett's 10 month update!

Weight: Scarlett is somewhere around the 17 lb marker! We will know at her 12 month appointment.
Health: Doing great! She had another little cold last month, but she did great and we got her well again in no time. We are becoming pros at this whole cold thing. I think we've gotten our money's worth with the humidifier and nose frieda.

Sleep: Scarlett is sleeping really well. She sleeps from 7:00- 7 or 7:30. It really varies. She wakes up early and late some mornings. She has two 30-40min naps per day. Were working on getting these to last longer and maybe even dropping the morning nap?

Our schedule is:
7-7:30- Awake/Nurse
8:00- baby food
9:00ish- Nap (30-40 mins)
11:45- snack
12:00- Lunch (finger foods and sippy cup)
12:30/1- Nap (45 mins) and I give her a 6oz bottle to go to sleep.
3:00ish- Snack (finger foods)
5:45/6:00 Dinner (finger foods and sippy cup)
6:30- Bath
7:00- Bedtime/Nurse

Social: This month Scarlett went to Louisiana for a long weekend. I braved the 5 hours alone in the car with her, just her and I. She did really really great! She got to socialize with all of her family while she was in town. Scarlett is so friendly! These days she will go to anyone and not have a problem with it. It is so nice since around 8-9 months she definitely went through a tough attachment phase. She's also super independent and loves to venture off and explore on her own.

Diet: Still doing awesome in breastfeeding department! We are down to two nurse sessions per day. I nurse her only first thing in the morning and before bed. We are giving one bottle of formula a day to get her used to a bottle/sippy and to make things easier on me when I decide to shut it down. She also is a little bit of a biter, so I've been dropping the nursing for that reason, too.
As far as solids go, we are tapering off puree's since she much prefers finger foods. It is so crazy that when we go to a restaurant I can actually order her a meal. She pretty much anything and everything these days. We're waiting to do whole milk until she is closer to one. I think we will introduce it slowly in the next couple of weeks and then we will also do eggs soon, too!

Clothes: 6-12 month clothes are what we mostly put her in. 12 months is starting to fit, which is crazy to me! I bought some of these outfits when I was pregnant, and it is surreal to think she has already gone through a year of clothes.

Baby Gear Love: Scarlett is loving her radio flyer wagon, walker, activity table, and her outdoor swing. This girl is such a people person and wants to do what we adults do. Most toys don't entertain her long, she is happy just observing us.

Crying: She only cries when she gets a bo bo or is sick. She is really a great baby.

Likes: She likes to dance to her music, play in her kitchen, take apart puzzles, rip things off of the coffee table, dump toys everywhere. She is very destructive, ha. I think it is just her turning into a toddler :) She loves being outside more than anything. As long as the weather is pretty, you won't find us inside at all. It is really neat because we lay out our blanket, and she doesn't even really try to crawl off.

Dislikes: She still does not like diaper changes these days!

Postpartum: Nothing new here. I still haven't started the couch to 5K app because the weather has been so bi polar. Looks like the warm weather is here to stay, so this week may be my week!

Milestones: Scarlett is changing every single day. She is surely becoming a toddler! She has 4 teeth (two top and two bottom), can say bye bye, hi, she claps, gives kisses, distinguishes mama from dada, and is starting to stand up on her own. We are not pushing the walking thing, she will do it on her own, and I will chase her then :) I'm still relaxing!

I really cannot believe we only have one more month of updates! I am just floored at how fast time has gone by. My baby is going to be one soon, and I am so happy for her. She is becoming such a big girl and is so fun these days. Every phase just keeps getting better and I love how interactive she is.
Scarlett, you are the light of my life and bring us so much happiness. I really cannot remember what life was like without you. You just make our days brighter and our hearts full of life! Keep growing healthy and strong! I love watching you grow, it's my favorite thing!
