Penny Kate Shropshire… she is growing so much! I think the biggest milestone this past month is that she started eating solid foods and is LOVING it. At first she wouldn’t eat banana, or avocado or anything that doesn’t have applesauce in it. But she is loving eating so much now that she will eat most anything I add applesauce too… did you catch that? Apple Sauce is the key. I just make sure I put enough flax seed so that she doesn’t struggle too much with pooping which is a struggle regardless because solid food compared to mommy’s milk is a lot more work to push out, so her body is getting used to that. 🙂 (I know some of you are thinking TMI Lily T.M.I.!)
She can stand up on her own (with out holding on to anything) and has taken one step, but that’s it, she’s capable, we’re just waiting for her to figure it out :). She says some form of “Ava”, “mama” and “dada” but not (dada) very often. She will “read” books which is soooo cute. She’s learning sign language, she has “all done” down… still working on “more please” She’s been waiting at the bottom of the stairs staring up at them wishing she could climb them, then one day… she realized she COULD! She climbed all the way up them in about 20 seconds… we quickly found a baby gate to prevent that, and work on chaperoned stair climbing sessions instead. She’s not the quietest baby anymore, she has a lot to say, and lets us know when she’s not happy. Her main game right now is searching the floors for things like rocks, fuzz balls, plastic, and of course finds chocolate chips from I don’t know where… you know most things we would WANT to find in her mouth (sarcastic inserted). Our kids have not failed to be chocoholics just like some other people I know ;).
Penny will be turning the big 1 on March 1st, I don’t know what I’m going to do yet, but I’m excited to celebrate her life, what a ball of joy she is. She’s like waking up to a Christmas present every morning, seriously I love her more than words could really express!
Happy 11 months Penny!
Hehe
I Love this little beauty!
silly baby
