Eleven Months

This past month has been pretty big.  Bianca went from walking a few steps here and there to full on walking.  I'm such a proud mommy!  It seems like she's gained a lot of confidence because she's testing her abilities constantly.  It keeps me busier than ever but I enjoy every minute.

Just like last month, her vocabulary is getting stronger.  You can tell she tries to communicate with Kevin and myself but just hasn't figured out how.  If I repeat a word over and over she stares at my mouth and tries to emulate the sounds.  I love how interested she is when it comes to learning new things.

Bianca has regressed a little bit when it comes to eating.  She's starting to get picky!  She now refuses to eat butternut squash, which is crazy because it's so good.  She also doesn't like to eat her food if she knows I'm eating something different.  She actually compares our plates and starts yelling for my food if it's not identical.

Her sleeping hasn't improved much.  I think it's mostly because I'm still breastfeeding (I'm going to make it to a year!) so she still wakes up for feedings.  Because I only work on weekends I don't really mind the nighttime interruptions.  Once she hits the twelve month mark, I can start giving her whole milk and maybe it will keep her fuller for longer.  Let's hope that will finally be the answer...

Writing this post is a little bittersweet.  I only have one more to go!  It's been such a great experience sharing Bianca's first year so far and I'll miss these monthly posts.  I know it's been said a million times, but time just flies and babies grow way too fast.  I just wish I could put her on pause and enjoy this time a little longer!
