Update: MONTH 11

Gracie is 11 months old! This is almost our last monthly update. It went so fast!!

Today’s an extra special day because Dave + I are also celebrating our 4 year anniversary!! Gramma baked an extra special cake today for both occasions 🙂

Height/Weight

Gracie is 20 lbs and 28 inches tall!

Routine

Gracie has been getting up a little earlier than normal. She’s usually up by 730 now. We hang out and snuggle for a bit then I drink coffee while Gracie plays for a bit. We’ve been taking a long walk in the morning since it’s still sorta cool outside. Gracie loves watching the birds and squirrels so that usually keeps her happy for a while. By abound 10-11 Gracie’s ready for a nap. She usually seeps 2 hours or so. I get ready for the day, blog, read, watch TV, clean, etc. When Gracie wakes up we eat lunch, run errands, play, have fun! Sometimes Gracie will have a second nap, and sometime not- it just depends. If she doesn’t nap, she usually likes to have some downtime of just laying down for a bit. When daddy comes home we eat dinner together and play for a while. Usually we’ll take a walk at night. Then Gracie goes to bed around 8-9!

Sleeping

We’re improving a tiny bit in the sleep department. Gracie still likes to wake up about every 2 hours to nurse but sometimes she’ll surprise me with a 4 hour chunk! I’m trying to get her to sleep only in her pack n play or crib instead of in the bed with us- so hopefully that will help things too! I’m getting used to running on little sleep now.

Eating/Feeding

I’m starting to slowly wean from nursing Gracie and feed more solids now. I nurse her before bed, and maybe 1-2 times during the day. I’m hoping to be done breastfeeding by the time she’s a year. I’ve loved every second of nursing her- it was awesome. But I feel like its really taking a toll on my body. I can’t seem to keep up my energy when breastfeeding her so much. It seems to take a lot out of me. I think Gracie is starting to eat more and more solids so hopefully everything will work out! Everything is so new to us so we’re just winging it!

Sizes

Gracie wears size 9-12 month clothes and size 3 diaper, although I think I need to move up a size.
