11 months!

Monday my little peanut turned 11 months old!!!!!  I cannot believe she is less then a month away now from being 1!! She is growing up way to fast, I wish I could just freeze time and keep her my little baby forever.

 

At 11 months old Avrey is just absolutely precious.  She loves to give big, juicy, open mouthed kisses to us and is still a big cuddler when it comes to nap and bed time. She loves when I rock her to sleep and nestles in all cozy.  I would stay like that holding her forever if I could. She is so smiley still and lights up around Isabelle.  As soon as she hears Isabelle's voice she squeals with excitement and smiles.  They love to hold hands while riding in the car, both their little arms stretched out from their car seats and looking at each other smiling.  It just melts my heart.  Avrey also gets very excited when daddy comes home from work.  If we are on the main floor, she will crawl very fast to the back door and wait for him as soon as she hears the garage door open! It is so sweet!  And Simba is always guaranteed to make her smile.  She gets unbelievably excited at the mention of Simba's name and when she sees him she gets to him in seconds and reaches out to pet him.

 

Avrey now has 5 teeth, and is almost at 7.  Her top two middle ones are almost through, it will probably just be a matter of days now.  She is also growing so much! She is in all 18 month or 2T clothes.  Nothing that is 12 months or even 12-18 months fits her anymore! I am anxious to see how much she has grown at her year appointment next month!

 

Avrey is also very active at 11 months! She continues to crawl everywhere, climb up stairs, and is walking more and more also.  She will take anywhere from 8-15 steps by herself now with no help at all! She also loves to walk pushing her princess car and stroller around or walk along anything she can (walls, furniture, railings, cupboards)....she just loves to be standing!

 

She still takes two naps a day around 9:45 and 2:30-3:00.  Her naps can range anywhere from 2 hours to 45 minutes! But she loves her sleep when she gets it!  She usually goes to bed around 7:00-7:30 at night too. 

 

Avrey is still the best little eater in the world! She loves so many foods, but her favorites right now are: blueberries, strawberries, mangos, grilled cheese, meatless veggie burgers and meatless meatballs, blueberry waffles, goldfish crackers, graham crackers, cinnamon applesauce, spaghetti with lots of sauce, and cheese.  She likes lots of other foods too such as carrots, peas, mac and cheese, pancakes, cereal bars, bananas, raspberries, and apples.  She is also down to just serving of formula a day right before bed.  All day long she is eating big girl food like the rest of us, and loves it! :)

 

 

Avrey Ann, we love you with all our heart. Your laugh is so contagious and your smile warms our hearts.  You really are a perfect little baby and I could not be more proud, honored, and blessed to be your mommy!
