11 months old

At 11 months old, Nora:
    04.29 (12)
  • is walking ALL over.  She is super sturdy and rarely falls down. 
  • loves to climb up the stairs and play in the pantry.   
  • is becoming more picky about the food she consumes.  There are several fruits and veggies that she liked at one time, but has since decided that she is no longer a fan.  Overall is still a good eater, just not as great as she was a one time.  
  • continues to be a pacifier junkie...so dreading the one year mark when we ditch bottles, the pacifier and sleepsack.  Sounds so painful...
  • loves to swing at the park, but is not a fan of her bare feet touching the grass.   
  •  is working on her top 2 front teeth as well as the 2 next to them.  Luckily they don't seem to bother her.   
  • has developed a touch of stranger anxiety.  It isn't terrible, but she definitely doesn't like to go to anyone else if Mom or Dad are in the room. 
  • is babbling a lot, but still not a ton of actual words.  I'm sure they will come soon.
  • is such a easy-going, mellow baby.  We can't believe that she has been around for almost a year!

10 Months Old

  • has started taking a few steps.  She isn't super confident yet, but she is definitely getting close to walking.
  • has continued to have ear infections.  Our peditrician would like to see if they clear with warmer spring weather (vs putting in tubes), but I'm getting a little patient.  The problem is that Nora is super mellow so we have no idea she is in pain until she gets a fever and is basically miserable for several days. 
  • is still a rockstar eater.  She will pretty much try anything.  She loves waffles, cheese, strawberries and squash.  She dislikes pancakes and muffins. 
  • loves her pacifier.  We joke that she can spot one from 50 feet away and once she does is on a mission to retrieve it.  We are planning to call it quits around the time she turns one...it is going to be a painful habit to break. 
  • is clapping  
  • is still a great sleeper.  She takes 2 good naps a day, goes down for the night around 7:30 and is up around 6:00. 
  • is still working on her top 2 teeth.  They have finally cut through her gums, but still have a ways to go. 
  • is such a sweet and happy baby, with a silly sense of humor.  We love her so much!
