Gemma at 11 Months

Weight: 22ish pounds
 
Height: I didn't catch her height at the doctor's the other day so probably about the same as last month.
 
Clothing Size: Still rocking the 12 month size for a while.

Daily Schedule: Gemma follows our typical schedule for almost one year olds. She wakes up by 7:30am. If she's not awake by then, Tanner not-so-nicely wakes her up. Then she naps from about 10-11:30 and again from 3-4:30. Bedtime is between 8 and 8:30pm. She may drop her morning nap earlier than the others but we shall see. I'm hopeful she makes it to the end of the school year with two naps.

Gemma is still not a huge food eater. We'll see how the next month goes for this as she weans from nursing. Her favorite foods consist of anything with cheese and anything with chicken or beef. So high protein foods.

Firsts: First tooth finally. I think she is our latest teether out of the three kids. She now has her two bottom teeth poking through. Definitely saying "Mama," "Dada," and "Dog." She can stand alone now but does not attempt to take steps. She waves at everyone and every car that passes by. She appears very friendly until you try to touch her. Gemma is still very, VERY attached to me. She screamed the whole time at the cardiologist as the nurse was desperately trying to get her pulse ox, blood pressure, and her EKG. Thankfully, she liked the cardiologist enough to sit still during the echo exam.

She is also able to climb up and down stairs quite well. Hooray for that!

Heart Update: She went earlier this week but we will have more information to share in the next week or two as decisions are being made.

Monthly Pictures:

Her normal reaction to food.

Exhausted after a playdate at a park. Fell asleep on the bike ride home.

Gemma loves to "perch" herself in certain things like this dollhouse or other bins of toys.

Typical picture of the laundry room. Gemma loves to scatter (and eat a few pieces) the dog food.

She loves balls! Always happy to hold one.
