11 Months

You know it's going by fast when you don't even have a chance to post the monthly milestone on the right date. So way back on the 21st Reese turned 11 months old. In just one short month (okay, less than a month) Reese will be 1 year old. I can honestly say I'm in denial.

Let's focus on what she is up to now:



  • Weighs about 17 pounds, in size 3 diapers, 9-12 month clothes, and size 2 shoe
  • Has some hair in the back but the hair on top is still super short, looks like it will be curly :)
  • Has skinny arms and legs, where did her baby chub go?!
  • Crawls (regular crawl, not the army crawl) all over
  • Can crawl up the stairs and go down them all by herself and LOVES doing it
  • Puts everything in her mouth, which is good when it comes to food, bad when it comes to things that are not edible (like crayons and chalk, which seem to be her favorites)
  • Is such a ham! Seriously, this child makes some hilarious faces and loves to make people laugh
  • Waves hi and bye
  • Started clapping 



  • Still has just the 4 teeth
  • Schedule: Bed around 7:30, wakes up around 6:30 am, takes two naps (one at about 9 am and the other around 1:30 or 2 pm), nurses 3 times a day, eats 3 meals and a snack or two
  • Is such a good eater, she eats veggies and fruit and loves to eat all by herself. I'd say her favorites right now are black beans, blueberries, grapes, avocados, and nectarines
  • Walks along furniture and while holding onto hands but is still cautious about doing it alone
  • LOVES Bria's white bunny (it was an Easter gift from Grammy), in fact, she now sleeps with it and cuddles with it (fortunately Bria has her blankie and puppy that she prefers)
  • Says Mama, dada, ny (night?), and yeah


  • Loves dogs
  • Is busy and into everything :)
  • I attempted to start weaning her a little, today was the third day that I didn't nurse her in the middle of the day, so now we are down to nursing once in the morning and once before bed
  • I can't believe we will soon be celebrating her 1st birthday, my baby is growing so fast!
