At 11 Months....
Cora responds more quickly when I call her Cora Bora then when I just say Cora.
She is on the move. She has a little run crawl. When I call for her she will speed right over with a smile on her face, happy to come to mommy! The funny thing about her crawl is that she keeps her pointer fingers curled in when she is crawling around. She is also on her feet a lot and has been cruising next to furniture.
Still a total Mommy's girl but will actually be happy in other's arms now while I am around. However, whenever I come back home from being away, she cries as soon as she sees me, demanding that I come get her.
She now has 4 bottom teeth and I think she will be getting more. She has had some difficulty getting down or staying down for naps lately.
Thankfully sleeping through the night. This past week she wakes up between 5:45-6:00, breastfeeds, and then goes back to sleep for another hour or so. There was a few nights in a row where she got up in the middle of the night but it luckily did not continue.
She waves hi and bye and makes sounds but doesn't really say many words yet. She will occasionally say "mama" but it is more of a "mamamama" when she is upset and wants me to pick her up.
She is seriously the happiest little girl. On the weekends I have been putting her down for her morning nap an hour late because she never gets fussy and I forget that I need to do that. She will cry when woken up from sleep because of teething or if I need to wake her up for some reason and she will also whine for more food, other than that she is happy go lucky.
She likes to explore and take things out of baskets, etc. She likes to open the drawers under the TV and every once in a while her finger will get stuck in there but instead of yelping right away she gives me a look as if to say, "mother do you see what is happening here?" and then will start to cry if I don't notice.
Generally naps twice a day about 9:15-10:30ish and 1:00-3:15ish. Rarely but still occasionally takes a third nap if the other ones are cut short.
Eating lots of solid foods now. Pretty much off of purees now and onto finger foods. I've started to feed her anything that we eat unless it has nuts, citrus, or is spicy. Breastfeeding 3 times a day with a bottle of formula at night
Sometimes when she is excited or when she is waving to someone, all 4 of her little limbs get moving and it is the cutest thing.
She is a total little peanut and everyone just loves to snuggle her up!
