Cassidy’s 11 months old! She has 8 teeth and uses them to chomp on anything from pizza to pasta and fish and fries. She eats everything we do (don’t worry, the fries are homemade sweet potato fries not McD’s, not that they would kill her, but annnnyway). Hopefully we get a break from the teething soon, although it has been nice to just get a good chunk all done at once. We took Ben’s pacifier away at 11mo (we’re so mean) so this would be the time we’d of taken Cassidy’s too if she’d used one. Part of me is glad she didn’t, once less thing to deal with later but it would have been really nice if she could have used it to comfort herself. Maybe she would have slept better?

She is sleeping SO well these days though, from 7pm to almost 6am. Actually like clockwork she usually wakes between 5:53-5:57am, unless she wakes at 5 which has happened a few times. Sometimes I’m able to nurse her and put her back to sleep but most of the time she is bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to go. Naps have greatly improved too, I can usually get a 1 hour morning nap and 2 hour afternoon nap out of her. So thankful, it’s been a long time coming.

She’s said “Hi Daddy” (Eye Dah dah), super cute! Squeals at the kitties, I’m hoping it’ll turn into a word soon. She now intentionally drops things and says “Uh oh!” little stinker.

Crawling really well, although she still drops into an army crawl sometimes. She’ll pull herself up to standing if you hold out your hands for her. She hasn’t really pulled herself up on a table or the couch yet. She’s a late bloomer with these things I guess, but that’s ok too.

10 months with this little cutie! She’s so “with it” it’s adorable to see the light in her eyes. Whenever she does something that particularly pleases her (putting a toy into a bucket or catching a ball before it rolls away) she gleefully spins her little feet around in a circle. When I’m getting her dressed in the morning she gives me her leg for pants, I don’t even have to grab it. She says “uh oh” when something drops and “eye” (hi) when she waves. Cassidy’s also a screamer. Happy screams, frustrated screams, don’t ignore me screams…she communicates very well with those shrieks.

Still so so so close to crawling, but it seems like it’s taking her forever. To be fair she’s done “one” crawl. Really, I don’t mind and I know every kid develops at their own pace. She sits up, scoots, rolls, reaches and does all sorts of baby yoga moves…silly thing just can’t figure out the crawl mechanics.

She’s got 5 teeth and 3 more coming in (we’ve been having a rough time with the teething lately). She’s such a snuggler though, I don’t remember Ben ever being so snuggly. She also sucks on her bottom lip when she’s sleepy, it’s the cutest.

Our little peanut weighs 15lbs 11oz and is in the 4%. She’s 26″ long (6%) but has a head circumference in the 74% :) She army crawls in circles and backwards but hasn’t figured out forwards yet. She claps and waves too, it’s super cute. If you ask her “where’s your tongue” she sometimes sticks it out for you too. We’re working on “So big!” Baby tricks aside, she is such a sweet little girl…smiley, bright and bubbly. She’s very dramatic though and will definitely let you know if she doesn’t like something.

She has four teeth and is pretty much eating whatever we eat. Her favorites are cottage cheese, chicken and peas. She’s mastered the sippy cup although doesn’t really seem that interested in it. Still not sleeping through the night, but thankfully naps have gotten better. Sometimes I can even get a two hour nap out of her in the afternoon.

And now, way too many pictures of Cassidy :)
