Eva - 11 Months

Dominic at 11 Months

Emilia at 11 Months

Weight: 23.2 lb (93 percentile)
Height: 30 inches (92 percentile) - taller than Dom at 12 months!

Notes:

Just transitioning her into 18 and 18-24 month clothing. These are the clothes Emilia was wearing when she was twice her age haha. Size 4 diapers, but sometimes wears size 5 too.
I don't know what size shoes she wears, as she has the "tall" (fat) feet that Dom did. She doesn't fit many shoes.
She has 6 teeth. 4 up top and 2 on the bottom.
She had her first stomach flu. It was gross. Actual vomiting only lasted 6 hours or so, but her intestines were upset for many days after that and every hour there was a blowout diaper (until we upsized to size 5 diapers for a bit).
She's starting to get words/communication more. She says "hi" and waves, says "bye (gai) and waves, uh oh, tries to say "puppy" (buhpaba), and I swear she says "Hi daddy" (hi dadadada) to Dave.
Makes car noises when playing with cars.
Her eyes seem less blue and a bit more like Dom's. I think they'll be a lot alike.
When "Into the Unknown" comes on the speaker, she immediately starts vocalizing and singing. Once the chorus comes she just sings this long note.
Loves "The Next Episode" by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre... and "If You're Happy and You Know it" still. We have balance around here.
She has better rhythm and control of her body when dancing than I do already.
Loves repetitive games like peekaboo or repeating any sound, face or action that gets a reaction.
She can walk, but usually chooses not to.
She thinks she's the best and loves being the center of attention - much more so when the big kids aren't there though. When Dom and Emilia are with us, she sort of fades into the background a bit. Hard to compete with their energy.
She is still an excellent eater, though as finally figured out that throwing your food on the floor seems like a good way to say she's done.
She signs more and all done, but we're working on some others like thank you, water and milk.
She's getting pretty good with independent play and gets into a zone. Nice that she doesn't require as much of my energy that way right now.
She's got a bit of a cold right now, and it's tough at night when she can't suck her thumb because she's all stuffed up. She just cries (though usually not for more than a minute or two). She doesn't have a comfort item she's attached to, so her one source of comfort is taken from her and it's quite sad.
She had her first pigtails/ponytail this month. She's not very dainty and I think it looks funny, but cute anyway.
I just pulled out some of Emilia's clothes from when she was a 18 months-2 years. All dresses and sparkles and girly things. Loving it!
I'll start transitioning from formula to whole milk this month. Looking forward to not having to buy formula anymore. Yeesh $$$
She finally started snuggling me! Not for long, but she'll flop onto me and rest her head on my shoulder. Only been waiting 11 months for this!
She's very ticklish
Loves her little shapes and bucket toy. Bouncing the shapes around, taking them out, putting them in. Riveting stuff.
