my little princess is 11 months old!

11 months old? say it ain't so! My cutie baby is almost a toddler!


Cailin turned 11 months today. She is such an amazing little baby, but she isn't so little anymore! She is super tall and starting to get a bit chubby again. (After 4 colds and a bad stomach bug when she was 7 months old she didnt gain much weight at all. Cailin loves fruit especially bananas and watermelon. She tried raspberries yesterday and hated that too. Like really hated it. To the point where she took it out of her mouth and gave it to me. She likes purees veggies and loves baked sweet potatos and pumpkin. Still trying to get her to eat more veggies other than those but at least she does like some. Cailin LOVES bread and hummus, its her favorite. Meat is on her list of dislikes, just about all kinds. She can tolerate a meatball, turkey or beef, but that is about it.

Cailin still has not mastered a sippy cup. She is getting better at it and wants to do it but she doesnt know how to tip it so she can drink form it. Straws are a total no go, she has no clue. If I hold it for her she gets it a little. She likes cow milk from it, which we tried yesterday, and juice (shame on me). Once in a while she will drink some water.

I keep trying to think of a really good birthday gift but am sort of out of ideas. I think I want to get her a doll, a little car, or a princess duplo block set. I am already buying her a red fleece blanket from LLbean with her name embroidered in it since she loves her red fleece jacket and vest.

Her birthday party plans are well underway and I am handing out invites at daycare on Monday and making the facebook event today. I am still trying to decide if I am going to make or buy a cake. I realy want to make one but I think buying one might be easier, especially since I dont have a frosting tube. Might be a good investment though since we will have many birthdays and celebrations along the way.
