11 months old

January 20, 2010


Our baby girl is now 11 months old. Mila is standing on her own...her coordination and balance is remarkable; from a standing position she often squats down to pick a toy off of the floor...she is continuing to eat like a champ; chicken and mashed potatoes is one of her favorite meals...her naps seem to be getting shorter, but she doesn't sleep less than 12 hours every evening...her favorite activity is bath time (loves to splash and play)...Mila is taking 5 to 6 steps at a time; we realize that she would walk, but she prefers to "crawl" since she can get to her destination within seconds...we love to hold her hand and walk around the house with her...she still adores her brother (he is her hero)...she weighs 21 pounds, 4 ounces (40th percentile) and 29-1/2 inches (70th percentile)...she is a happy baby, her smile is contagious...still has only 6 teeth...we're beginning to realize that she is a jokster; she loves to get a laugh or reaction for someone...her diapers are disgusting...Mila is wonderful.
