Lets see..
Abigail Hope
You laugh when I laugh. You cry when babies cry. You play with everything Mackenzie plays with. You have nursery dislike still (totally!), you love mommy and daddy. You are totally fine with babysitters coming here and even new people!
Your favorite toys are blocks, the tea party silverware, window clings and toys with noise. You love to chace balls around and throw them! You are now crawling on your knees and super fast. You cruise around everything now and can get up and down on your own (no more getting stuck standing). You also just now can go from crawling to sitting up which is nice for playing and getting around too! You even went up about 2 stairs but you don't do that much.
Your in 12 months clothing and need to be in 12-18 month (even though there are 9 month clothes still in your dresser). I find I am doing everything slower with you.. slower to pack things away, slower to get you going to the "next thing". Seems I still think of you as a baby baby especially when I see what your sister was doing at this age and remember what she did next month! It seems so crazy to be almost done with bottles, get a big girl car seat, have you "identify" your body parts.... WHAT! You say a few words but its still hard to make out if you understand or not. You say uh oh when something falls and wave bye (after the person is gone) when say diiiiiieee. I think its your bye for now lol!
You love to be outside and often get mad when we come back in or shut the door. You express yourself in tantrums already when you disapprove of something yikes! You totally know when we are being serious and telling you NO from something that is dangerous (mostly just the first place still and outlets).
Your schedule did not change at all with day light savings which is a good thing! You are up between 5:30-6 still and eat a 7oz bottle, you take a nap at 9 and 1:30 and then go to bed between 6-7. You sleep great for naps and I am realizing you will be an 11 hour at night baby which is totally fine. Especially when you start to extend your awake time so you can be awake for longer than 3-4 hours :)
You have started to not want your bottles as much so I think transitioning to a sippy cup will be pretty easy. You had more allergy testing done this month too and its looking like peanut, egg and milk are your big 3. You had an in office test for milk and after about 1/2 an ounce you got some hives. So we have an epipen and all these new formalities and instructions to follow closely. Well probably just add some good calcium food to your diet and go to just water after your formula runs out! That or we will try some coconut or almond milk. Well see! I am trying not to make this a bigger deal than it is ;)
Your month in pictures!
Your best friend even if you don't know that yet lol
Went to feed the ducks with Aunt Barb!
You love the wagon :)

After trick or treating and all you wanted was the candy in your mouth!
For your first halloween we had Nana, Grandma and Grandpa over! We went out in the wagon to a few homes and you really liked being outside all nice and warm in your fuzzy bunny outfit. mackenzie is still sick so she's just NOT having it :)
