Ella turned 11 months on June 17th. At 11 months, Ella weighs 24 lbs, 10 oz. She has two teeth on the bottom (the second one just started popping through this week! Ella continues to be a happy girl and is very curious. We often call her our little trouble maker, because if there is something she shouldn't have, she is going to find it!
Ella is pulling herself up on everything and standing on her own more and more. I see so many differences between her and Ava it makes me curious about her personality and interests as she gets older. She has been skipping a morning nap for a good month now, which helps her take a better afternoon nap. She can still be pretty unpredictable with her nap schedule, and has been getting better about going down to sleep on her own with a little crying it out. Which is hard on mommy.
Her words are: "mama" and "dada". Nana and my friend Tessa that babysits one day a week for us are convivced she can say "Ella" as well. Not so sure that's intentional. :)
At 11 months Ella can:
- Pull herself up
- Walk behind a push toy
- Stand on her own
- Understand "no" and gives me the face, which we refer to as "The Stink Eye"
- Waves bye-bye and blows kisses
- Rolls ball back to you when playing catch
- Sort of drinks from a sippy
Ella favorite thing to do is take toys out of the toy basket and torment Sophie, our dog.
Ella is wearing a mix of 12 months and 18 month clothes, and we have moved on to size 4 diapers when using disposables.
Ella still has about 3 bottles a day and I can tell she enjoys that snuggle time so its hard to drop. Other than that, she is completely on table foods. She eats pretty much what we eat, and she enjoys it too!
