Life with E and M: September 2013

Weight: Keep forgetting to weigh her but i'm thinking 19.5 lbs?

Size Clothing: I packed away all her 9 month clothes. She's definitely getting taller faster these days. She's wearing 6-12 month clothing and 12 month clothing. We're pretty much done with onesies. She's mostly wearing tshirts and jeans/leggings or romper/dresses. Can't believe she's almost a toddler!!

Milestones: She's still mostly army crawling but starting to crawl regularly. She'll do a couple regular crawl steps and then switch to army crawling. She's pulling up on everything lately, and even starting to dance and do squats! She shakes her head no (pretty sure she doesn't know what it means) and will clap. i'm hoping she learns kiss soon! she's also saying alot of dada and baba (dad in chinese) but i'm pretty sure she doesn't know what it means yet.

loves food!

Food: She's eating 3 solid meals a day with some milk/formula in her straw cup. she's starting to get 1 snack a day. She's eating pretty well, but alot of the same things over and over. She likes cheese, mac and cheese, eggs, green beans and broccoli the best. Most days she likes chicken and beef and quesadilla. Still not really into fruit although she did eat some grapes recently. I try to give her at least 1 of her favorite foods to eat each meal. i don't want to have to cater to a picky kid but then i want to make sure she eats enough! so trying to balance it. we have given her a few tastes of ice cream and she doesn't seem really into it. must be like her daddy!

its a big world out there..

Schedule: We're down to 2 naps! at daycare she's down to 1!! oh my growing up fast! And she's also in the process of dropping one of the mid day bottles!! ptl can't wait!
7am - wakeup, 6.5 oz bottle
8am - scrambled egg with cheese, cheese, breakfast sausage, straw cup of water

3:30pm - 6oz bottle
5:30pm - dinner veggies, meat, cheese, and/or pasta, 2-3 oz straw cup of milk
7pm - 6oz bottle, bath, brush teeth, sleep!

clearly not sleeping...

Sleep: she's still sttn! she hasn't tried to stand up in her crib so thats good. we lowered her crib and it didn't seem to affect her sleep. she naps about 3-4 hours at home (2 naps about 1.5 hours each), 1.5 hours at daycare. her two catnaps at daycare seem to have consolidated into one nap. She usually will take a short cat nap when she gets home from daycare because she's so exhausted.

love how she looks when she's sleeping. her and her blankie!

Her favorite things: she likes her leapfrog activity table, walks with her daddy and doggies, being lifted in the air (not thrown tho, that scares her!), climbing over our legs, our phones, her dogs toys (yuck)
