Baby Brody : Month 11

11 Months on May 27th

Weight:

22+ pounds and 30 inches (total guess)

Teething Beads

Sleep: 

We are back to two naps a day (85%) of the time. You take a great morning nap usually from 930am to 1130am and then an afternoon nap usually from 230 to 330pm. You spent the first part of the month teething and your night time sleep suffered a bit with a random wake up during the night. Once that tooth finally came in, we are back to more a 630pm to 630am sleep schedule.

Feeding:

We FINALLY made huge progress in the feeding department this month. It was like you woke up one day and knew how to chew your food with NO GAGGING. Mommy was a happy lady! It wasn't that you were a bad eater before, but you just struggled with texture in your mouth and loved to scare me to death with your choking gagging noises. I am so thankful we are past that point. 

You are getting 3 to 4 bottles a day with 6 oz of formula during the day and 8 oz at night. You eat 3 meals a day (breakfast,lunch and dinner) with a snack in the afternoon. You love yogurt, bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, mini quesadillas with cheese and tortilla, eggs (sometimes), and you had your first taste of rotisserie chicken and I didn't think you liked it at first, but then you did! 

Schedule:

630-7am Wake Up and drink bottle

8am Breakfast

9-930 Nap (1 to 1.5 hr)

When Mom leaves the room

You are starting to not want to go to other people sometimes when we are out and about.

Milestones:

We have 8 teeth!

Running!

You can now go from sitting to standing up and walking without pulling up on anything.

Mom and Dad left you with your grandmas for 5 nights and we both did great! 

You went on your first boat ride

You now can show me when you are ready to go to bed sometimes by grabbing your blanket and lying on the floor with your monkey paci.  It's so sweet.

Places You've Gone:

We went to New Orleans to visit your LeeLee

Destin for Memorial Weekend to spread your Papa's ashes
Montgomery for your Cousin Kayla's High School Graduation

I can't believe you are one month away from being a toddler!! I think they consider one year olds toddlers.  Where did my baby go??  You honestly get more fun every day so I can't complain.  You think your Mama is so funny and that melts my heart on a daily basis.  I am so lucky to be home with you every day and kiss and hug you whenever I want.  I love you so much Brody Charles!!
