11 Months!

It really does go faster with the 2nd (I think... sometimes its easy to forget how things went with Logan!). I can't believe I will have a 3 year old and a 1 year old in under a month!

This little lady is officially 11 months. She has been crawling like crazy since a few days before she was 10 months. She loves to crawl as fast as she can to take off the vents. She can really up her speed if she's trying to get to something she shouldn't.

Leah is great at walking with her little walker and can do it without help but when she bumps into walls or goes off tarck, she just needs help to push the walker back on track! She loves to walk when holding our hands too.

Leah loves our walks, but especially in this little pink car instead of the stroller. We usually go for an afternoon walk after lunch and on this day, we checked out the ducks at the pond by our place... and the ducklings!

Leah has been sleeping the night for about 2 weeks now but she has been waking up the last couple days with Aleksy getting ready for work at 5:45am. She goes right back down though and typically starts her day between 6:30-7:15am. She then goes down for another nap between 9 and 10 and again in the afternoon 3 hours after she's been awake. She usually sleeps from about 1 hour 15 min to 2 hours (sometimes more) but only in her crib. If she's in the car or stroller, she hardly falls asleep or if she does its short lived and we surely cannot stop.

We have a little couch cruiser and what she has done here is started with her cookie on one side and trailed crumbs down the whole couch to the other side!

Leah is still very particular with her foods. She LOVES her bottles (formula), likes baby mum mums, puffs, yogurt, cheerios, and baby noodles (with butter and parm).

Leahs tolerables are arrowroot cookies, bananas, pieces of bun, brenton crackers, cheese, and her pablum (mixed with yogurt). She also eats her baby food pouches pretty well. She threw up when we tried to give her tuna and when we tried ham! She's such a picky one!

On Friday I tried to mix her formula with homo milk to start the switch but after giving her 4 oz (not in the same bottle), which she took great, but I saw the next day she started a diaper rash so I don't want to start it again until I see out how fast this bum rash heals.

Leah loves her swing! Both in the park and in the backyard. We haven't got around to warmer weather activities like the elephant pool or water table because it's been pretty chilly but we have had a bit of outside play. Logan has had his sprinkler out once.

Leah loves this station at the park! When we go for our afternoon walks around the neighbourhood, we usually make a park stop and I put the music on and she dances excitedly!

And she has 8 chompers!

She's still the easy going baby she always has been and super happy. She's pretty independent and can crawl around playing for short period of time while I am in the kitchen or doing laundry. Just a little more into things these days with her crawling... vents, little things to put in her mouth (leaves, dirt, little crumbs... anything) knocking down logan's little chairs trying to climb them, getting the remote or our phones... She also is able to vocalize her frustration with a loud grunt when something doesn't work the way she wants it to.
