Catching Up With Caitlin: Eleven Month Update

Eleven months old 7/22/13

Sorry this post is one week late! I turned 11 months old last Monday, but Mommy and I were on a plane headed to Savannah for my first beach week at Tybee Island. I'll tell you all about my trip soon, but first here's what's going on with me this month!

Too busy to sit still for pictures!

Eleven Month Stats
Weight: 23 lbs 11 oz
Clothes size: 12-18 mos
Diaper size: 3

Eleven Month Habits
Eating: I am almost done using a bottle already! I have gotten really good at using my sippy cup since I've had so much practice with water at meal times, so now I am using my sippy cup to drink my milk during the day and I only take a bottle at bed time. I am still drinking breastmilk that Mommy pumps for now, but I will be switching to cow's milk soon! I eat 3 good meals a day and sometimes have a snack at day care in the afternoon, too.
Favorite foods: berries (except raspberries, I don't like those), bread, and pasta (especially macaroni and cheese)

Sleeping: I go to bed around 7-7:30 and sleep until 6-6:30 in the morning. I still take a morning nap and an afternoon nap every day. I've been better lately and haven't skipped any naps at day care, but I still nap for shorter there than I do at home. Last week on vacation, I took some super long naps because I was so worn out from all the activity. One afternoon I took a nap for 3 hours!

Eleven Month Skills
Mobility/play: I'm crawling! I'm getting better and better at it, and sometimes I even try to follow Mommy or Daddy out of the room if they try to walk away. I have pulled up to standing by myself once, but usually I just get to my knees and get one foot up and then get stuck. I love to stand and can cruise a couple of steps, but I'm kind of wild so someone has to be pretty close by when I'm standing in case I wipe out! I've had a couple of crash booms so far.
Favorite toys: lift the flap books like Dear Zoo and anything by Karen Katz, music table, stuffed animals, anything I can shake that makes a fun noise, and I also love to look at pictures of people (especially other babies)
New words: dog ("gog"), fish ("ish"), I've said Da-da a few times (usually sounds like "Gah-gah")and last week I said GiGi a couple of times while I was visiting Daideo and GiGi in Savannah!
New signs: I can sign all done, but I will only do it every once in a while
