Our Miss November!

 

Here she is...Miss November!  Love, love, love her!

Monroe's 1 Year Stats!



It's hard to believe Monroe is 1!  Here is some info. about her...

Height - 30.75 inches

Weight - 21 lbs, 7 oz.

Sleeping Patterns -  She wakes up between 7 - 8 a.m.  She takes a 2-3 hr. nap in the afternoon.  She goes to bed between 9 - 10 p.m.  She still gets up 1-2 times a night.

Eating Habits - I am still nursing her and will through the end of December.  We will stop bottles at the end of December too.  She nurses in the a.m., eats baby food and adult food for breakfast, lunch, and supper and then nurses in the evening before bed. 

New Foods She Likes - We started mising vitamin D milk and breast milk.  No more formula being mixed.  I ended up buying 3 containers of formula to mix with breast milk at daycare in a year!   Very exciting!  She is eating more and more adult food everyday.  She really likes noodles.

Her Accomplishments - She knows to how to talk on a real phone or pretend phone - she holds her hand up to her ear!  She is walking quite yet.  She is very good along furniture and down the hallway holding on.  I'm guessing it will be a month or two yet. 

Special Memories - You are learning how to get off our bed.  You do down right but land with a boom.  Good thing you have your diaper on for padding!  We will work more on that!  You have 8 teeth so far. 

Here are some fun pictures I took of her at 1...

Monroe Gets a New Car Seat!

Beings that Monroe is 1 now...it was time to move her into a big girl car seat!  I found this cute car seat for her that she will be able to sit in for 2-3 years.  I think she likes it! 

Home Sweet Home!

Just wanted to share a couple pictures of Monroe's new favorite place to play! 

Uncle Justin, Holli, and Kenzie gave the girls this because they didn't have room in their house for it anymore.  The girls welcomed it with open arms! 

And our Home Sweet Home! 

Way to go Jason...he always gets our house in the Christmas spirit with the lights,

Santa and Mrs. Claus and our sleigh (that I bought on a garage sale the

first year we were married for $20...so worth it)! 

Monroe's 1st Birthday Family Party!

This is the cake I made for her.  Not even close to the same quality as Mary's

but still a fun little cake for her to dig in to!

Birthday's are tiring
