Lyla's Development (1 Year!)

Annnnnd, she's one! My third baby girl is one! It's always bittersweet watching my babies grow, but I am so thankful for every breath God gives me with them.

This past month she learned how to crawl!! (FINALLY!) She also learned how to pull up into the standing position. She claps, and she says "ha" for "hi" with a really loud voice.

She has at least one molar coming, but it hasn't popped all the way through yet.

This past year has had stressful moments with getting her to gain weight, but today we went to the doctors, and she weighed 17 pounds, 12 ounces, which is the 20th percentile! Praise God! And she is 28 inches long which is the 25th percentile. We are so thankful for how healthy she is now!

We officially finished breastfeeding on her first birthday. It was a little sad for me, especially as it may be my last baby to ever breastfeed, but she was done. I'm just thankful that she was still interested even after we had to start doing formula. In the last week we had cut down to just once a day, though, and she was definitely distracted very easily.

Lyla's Development (11 Months)

11 months! I guess that means I better start planning a birthday party!

This past month, Lyla has started easily moving around the room... but she's still not crawling! haha! She will push herself backwards, and roll, and then sit up somewhere else. It's silly, but it works. She is getting really close to crawling... she has moved one knee forward. So probably she will figure sit out this month.

She also tries to pull up on things, but her legs are too wobbly to actually stand yet.

She repeats words sometimes now. Several times I've said, "Clap clap clap!" while clapping, and she repeats. She also says "dada" and "mama" sometimes, but I don't think she knows what they mean yet. She babbles all the time now, and she has such a sweet little voice.

She also got two new teeth this month (two on the bottom- so that makes for four on top and four on bottom- eight total!)

Likes: singing and music, blanky and paci, being outside, ergo carrier, food, getting attention, wooden toys, sink baths

Dislikes: Mommy leaving, sisters pulling on her or being in her face, waiting for food

Schedule:

(All times are approximate. I follow a routine and not a schedule, so every day is a little different, but this is the closest to her routine)

7:30/8am - Wake, Nurse, Banana, Bottle

9:30am- Nap

11/11:30am - Wake, Nurse, Bottle

12pm- Lunch

1/2pm - Nap

3/4pm- Wake, Nurse, Bottle

5:30- Supper

7/7:30 - Bottle

8:30pm- Nurse, Bed

It never fails that around 10 or 11 months, I finally feel like our schedule is consistent. Before that, we have consistency for days or weeks, but around 10 months, we actually start being consistent pretty much all the time. She never wakes up in the night anymore, and that's the best part.

Lyla's Development (10 Months)

We hit the double digits in months- this baby girl is 10 months old now!

Lyla got three new teeth this month, so she now has six teeth. She has four on top and three on bottom, but the biggest tooth on top is on the side, so it's a mix of cute and funny when she smiles.

She still doesn't crawl, but she is trying to move around on the floor now. She usually just does a weird body twist and ends up on her back, and she's pushed herself backwards at least once. Mostly she just likes to sit and play, and I'm okay with that :)

She can feed herself really well, although I still feed her quite a bit since it's less messy and since we're in the middle of house renovation and her seat isn't out half the time.

She doesn't say any real words yet that I have noticed, but she has started babbling all the time (saying "ba ba ba") and it's super cute.

I've been working on signs and clapping and waving with her... waving is the only one that she *may* have gotten.

She weighs 14 pounds even and is 26 inches long.

Likes: food, blanky, paci, sisters, sitting and playing with toys, being held, my phone and all my other technology, wooden toys

Dislikes: Seeing mommy and not being held, waiting for food, baths in the bathtub
