11 Months Old

Love that sweet little face!!
Can't believe Erin will be 1 year old in a month. Crazy!!!

This month brought lots of changes, as they always do!
Despite all those changes still NO teeth and still very little weight gain.
 
Erin did have some firsts though.  First high temperature, got up to 105 degrees :(
And a week later unrelated to the temperature, first trip to emergency room. Poor baby girl had a UTI. She was the HIT of the ER with all the hospital staff.  She was just has happy as can be and loved all the attention.

Erin is growing into quite a little personality.  She is tiny but feisty and full of spunk.  She loves to cuddle when she's sleepy and just like her big sister is so happy when she wakes up from naps and in the morning.  Erin always greets me with the biggest smile!

Her new trick this month is spitting out her food, drink, etc.  She just loves the new noises she has learned to make.  It's hard to put on weight when you spit out a lot of your food.  Little stinker!!!  She likes to pick up and eat Cheerios, pieces of bananas, blueberries, avocado, puffs (of course), and most recently black beans.  We are trying new things constantly with her.  She does love yogurt! She eats most of her veggies in thick purees.  I give her steamed veggies to pick up and eat just trying to encourage her to feed herself more.  I also tried homemade hummus with her.
She is still nursing and while she can drink from a sippy cup and a straw cup, she just drinks and then spits it out.  Sigh

All she wants to do is stand!!  She loves standing and playing.  She especially loves standing in the tub which is a big No No!  And she battles with me all during bathtime.  Ellie makes me laugh as she sits nicely in the tub saying "Erin, we don't stand in the tub.  Please sit down Erin!" In her very sweet little voice.  She is cruising on the couch and tables.  She is a very busy little girl and so desperately wants to keep up with her big sister.

Bless her heart!  Teething has been a long process and she chews on any and everything.  I pray she gets some teeth very soon!!!

I love those dimples!
Happy 11 Months Erin!!
 
Can't wait to celebrate her birthday with all our family next month :)
