Age: 11 months
Height: 29 inches (50-75th percentile)
Weight: About 21 lbs ( 50-75th percentile)
Milestones: She has been a busy girl. Claire said her first words and we we knew it would be "dog". She's obsessed with Nix. She's more recently started saying "Nix" but it sounds more like "iithhss!" And she says "mama" too.
Claire took her first steps on October 30th and I almost missed it. I turned around to see her take about 2.5 steps then dive into the dog bed. In the past 4 days she's really made progress. She's taken up to 5-6 steps now. She's also learned how to stand up on her own and no longer needs to pull up on anything. She climbs stairs amazingly fast too. This girl is moving!
She also sprouted some more teeth! The top two side ones (lateral incisors to be specific). She's still missing her two front teeth but maybe she'll get those for Christmas ;)
a few steps for the camera
I've been planning her first birthday party. I needed a picture for her invitations so I snapped a few. I love the picture of my growing girl! Can't believe she's almost ONE!

Sleep: I suppose with the new teeth and developing her walking skills, sleep hasn't been her strong suit. But who are we kidding, it has never been. I'm hoping to see some big changes in that here soon. Mama wants some uninterrupted sleep!!
As for naps, she usually takes two a day - morning and afternoon.
picnic in San Marcos
Best Moment: We had a great time going to the pumpkin patch for the first time! There lots of fun activities for kids and I enjoyed them too. I'm sure she'll have a blast there next year.
I LOVE the fall! We have been enjoying this beautiful weather on the weekends in San Marcos. We head there at nap time, picnic by the river and spend some time outside, then eventually end up at the Texas State football game. She's been a great little cheerleader!

Worst Moment: She had maybe 2 more puking episodes about a week or so after the last one and that's never fun. She never acts sick and has no other symptoms. I'm narrowing it down to either motion sickness or somehow related to seasonal allergies.

Health: Healthy, growing girl aside from the puking mentioned above. Her eczema has recently gotten worse but I can't think of what has triggered it. Matt and I both had it bad as kids. Poor girl had no chance.
Eating: This girl has discovered meat! She can eat her weight in chicken and ground beef. She still loves peas, broccoli, and cauliflower. She loves guacamole too! Hummus is another favorite but she has a skin reaction to it after she eats it so I've avoided that with her for now.
out for a walk
Likes: She LOVES, loves, loves books and being outside. With all the nice weather, I've been leaving the back door open. She's figured out how to crawl over the threshold and will do that over and over. Then she'll head out to crawl around in the grass. She enjoys swinging at the park and watching the big kids run around and play. She loves to take her push walker out onto the driveway and sidewalks and just go cruising. She kept stubbing her toes so I finally had to buy her some shoes. And of course, she is still obsessed with our dog, Nix. That's the first thing she wants to see in the morning. As soon as she opens her eyes, she signs dog (taps her leg) and says "iithss" (translation: "Nix").
she has a lot to say these days
Dislikes: This one still hasn't changed: putting on shirts, getting buckled into the car seat, and getting wiped off after meal time. She's also starting to show her disappointment when I tell her no or remove her from playing with something she should be.
Other Happenings:Claire's first Halloween was fun. Our play group had a little party and all the kids wore their costumes. Claire was a peacock. We didn't trick-or-treat but we went outside to check out the other costumes.
