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.
