11 months

Leah is only one month away from being a year old. It's amazing how time goes by so quickly!

-She is still crawling and climbing everywhere. We have yet to get a gate for the stairs, which she can climb all the way up if she really wanted to. She's only fallen once-and that was down at Jake's parents' house. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt, just scared and only cried for a minute.
-This little girl can eat! She loves any food and will drink pretty much anything. She's still nursing several times a day and that's just fine with me.
-She is a "yes" girl-anything you ask her she'll say, "ya" and will often nod her head too. Super cute. She also says "da," but not discriminately.
-We were finally able to change her earrings from the ones that were put in when we got her ears pierced. It didn't hurt her at all, but you would have thought this girl was being tortured! She HATES being held down for any reason and this was certainly no exception. Changing her diaper and getting her dressed are often a challenge with this little wiggle worm.
-Leah LOVES to take a bath. She's pretty tolerant of Isaac's splashing and spraying (there's a spray bottle in the tub as a toy) and could live in the water if we let her.
-She's finally sleeping better (not through the night) and usually wakes up once a night around 5 or 6. Every so often she'll sleep until 7, but that's rare. Naps are hit and miss-she sleeps during the day, but is resisting a schedule of any kind.
-Her hair is now long enough for several styles, though she still won't keep a bow or flower in her hair. Sometimes she can even yank out the little rubber bands. Not to mention getting them in-see above about being held down.
-We love this little girl and are looking forward to her first birthday party in a couple of weeks.
