Laci Turns 11 Months

Laci turned 11 months on 03/19/07. Laci now has 7 teeth and #8 is coming in as I write this. So she will have four on the top and four on the bottom. She has done so well with teething. Laci is picking up new words everyday. It is so funny because she will study your face so intently when you speak with her and speak slowly. Her vocabulary words now include:

Dada
Momma
Dog
Cat
book
no no
uh-oh
go

I have taught her to shake her head no. We are now working on shaking her head yes. She is learning how to wave but needs to learn to turn her hand around and wave out not at herself. She drinks out of her sippee cup but she still loves her bottle. Need to start working on breaking her from that.

I have started working with Laci on eating on her own (finger foods). On weekends, (because she takes so long to eat) she get pancakes. I've given her peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. What a mess!! She does pretty good, spaghetti, cake and icecream (preparing her for her birthday), sugar free pudding. She loves mashed potatoes. I still can't get her to eat a banana, she likes the baby food banana but not real ones.

She learned to walk at 10 months and is doing very well at it. She's still not running but I am not in any rush for that.

She sleeps very well, she usually goes down around 8:30 and if we let her will sleep till about 9 on weekends. On weekdays, I have to get her up around 6:45am and let me tell you she is not a morning person, just like her Mommy. She is very tearful in the mornings and wants to be held if you wake her up. Laci has always done well and never needed a pacifier nor does she suck her thumb (knock on wood).

She is finally starting to hug her stuffed animals and will give them kisses but Mommy and Daddy aren't as lucky. She will give hugs but no kisses yet!! :-(

In the evening after dinner we sit on the floor with her and she loves to play with this huge ball she has that she can barely carry. She loves to carry it to Jeff and I. We have play time for about an hour than it's "JamJam Jammy Time". She gets her bath and jammies on, dry her hair, clip her nails, brush her teeth and gets her bed time bottle. Once she is done she's put to bed and she lays right down. Ahhhhh time for Mommy and Daddy!
