March: Photo A Day Challenge
Well, I pinned February's challenge on Pinterest, fully intending to do it, but life got in the way (read: I'm a slacker) ... so here we are in March and I am going to try to stick to it! I have been horrible about taking pictures these past few months, and I hope this will help out a bit. Plus everyone else is doing it, so here we go!

11 months
Bear, you are 11 months old! It's hard to believe next month you will be One!I still don't have exact measurements for you, but we will have them next month at your checkup! You weigh somewhere are 19.4 lbs, and I have no idea how tall you are because you won't stay still to let me measure!
Your current habits are:
You are still sleeping wonderfully. I am so blessed that we have never really had any problems with your sleep. You are still taking 2 naps per day. We have moved your bedtime to 8:30pm and now you wake up around 7:30 or 8, and it is working wonderfully!
You are still breastfed and nurse 5 times per day. I think we will be dropping a session soon, because you are starting to eat a lot more real food! You are eating all table food now, and you eat a puree as your "dessert" after dinner.
You are wearing all 9-12 month clothes, with a few 18 month tops thrown in. Your jeans are a size 6-12 months, and most other pants you still wear a 9 month size. You are wearing a size 3 diaper.
This past month you:
- are walking. Everywhere. Keeping up with you is definitely a chore! But you are loving your independence and I am loving that you can run around and do whatever you feel!
- have 3 1/2 teeth. I mean, you really have 3 teeth fully in, and one more is so close to popping through! Your top teeth are no fun and we have had a rough time with teething recently.
- are signing!! We have been working on sign language with you for a couple of months, and this past month you have starting signing milk and more. You can kind of sign all done - we are still working on that one!
- have learned a ton of words ... You don't say anything yet, but you know what these mean: Shake shake - for something in your hand. Arms up - for taking your shirt off. Pants on - when putting on your pants. Over your head - to put your shirt on. Turn off the light. And up - when you want to be picked up.
- give hugs and kisses! Adorable.
- learned how to dance. You will bounce up and down to music.
We are going on your first roadtrip this month to Altus for Thanksgiving and we are anxious to see how you do! I know everyone is excited to see/meet you and we are excited to see everyone this year since we didn't make it last year due to me being on bedrest.
I still can't believe you will be one year next month, the time is just flying by!

10 months
Edie bear, you are 10 months old! The time is going by so fast, and you are just growing right before our eyes!No exact measurements this month, so these are just approximate! You weigh around 18.5 lbs and are about 28 inches long.
Your current habits are:You are back to sleeping much better because we dropped down to 2 naps per day! You are now taking 2 hour naps in the morning and afternoon. We also are moving your bedtime up due to the time change this month.
You are still breastfed and nurse 5 times per day. We are still having fun trying new things, and you are mostly eating table foods now. You eat 2-3 meals per day, just depending on how our mornings go.
You are wearing a mix of 6-9 month and 9-12 month clothes, depending on the weather. It is starting to get cooler, so we are mixing in your winter clothes! You are wearing a size 3 diaper.
This past month you:
- said Da Da! It was absolutely adorable and I immediately took a video and sent it to Daddy :)
- are a standing pro!
- are taking a few steps on your own. I know you will be walking on your own very soon!
- know how to turn the light off! When we leave a room, you love to turn the light switch off.
- have become very attached to your Teddy. It is a very funny story, and I will have to make a post just for him. But you must have him to sleep and he goes everywhere with us!
- dropped down to just 2 naps. It makes for a very interesting schedule, but I am glad you are sleeping for longer periods again!
- are now riding in a big girl carseat! We found a great deal and officially switched you over this month.
- have just your 2 little bottom teeth. You have such a sweet little smile.
- have been away from Mommy quite a lot this month. She has had a craft show every weekend and you stay with either Daddy or the grandparents. I am so glad you finally took to a bottle, although Mommy misses you while she's gone!
This month has been so crazy, not only with how much you are learning and growing, but just with everything going on! I know these next two months are going to be even crazier and I am looking forward to the New Year and maybe a little quieter life!

9 months
Wow Edith, you are 9 months old ... in just 3 short months, you will be O.N.E. I'm not sure I'm ready for that! But here we are, flying head first into the holiday months, and it will be here before I know it!You finally had your 9 month checkup on Friday and we have REAL measurements!!
- You weigh 17.5 lbs - 27th percentile
- You are 27.7 in - 57th percentile
- Your head measures 17.5 in - 64th percentile
Your current habits are:
You are still sleeping pretty well ... we are starting to have issues with short naps (only 45 minutes - 1 hour, not quite sure what is up with that!) and you are definitely working on your top teeth, so you have been quite fussy this past week. You are still going to bed at 9:30 and waking up between 8 and 8:30. You are still taking 3 naps per day, and they generally add up to around 3 hours, maybe 4 if I'm lucky.
You are still breastfed, still enjoying your dinner, and now we have added in a breakfast! You always want to eat when I'm eating, so you do! You still nurse 5 times per day and generally eat around 4-6 ounces each time. We are having such a fun time trying new things! You seem to be loving just about everything. You are back on board with green beans, as long as they are whole. The only 2 things you aren't crazy about right now are carrots and peas, but you eat them anyway. You LOVE bread and cereal.
You are wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes, and a few 3-6 month things. We are having major issues trying to find you pants! You are such a skinny little thing. You can still wear your 3-6 month pants, and your 0-3 month jeans fit your waist, but are starting to become high waters :) We finally found you some good jeans at Old Navy, after a tiring day of shopping! You are still wearing size 2 diapers, although I'm sure we will be in size 3 next month.
This past month you:
- have continued crawling like. a. champ. You are getting fast and it is wearing me out trying to keep up with you. But we are so happy you decided to crawl first, instead of being like me and just take off walking!
- have stood on your own!! You are a pro at standing up.
- are "surfing." You can walk anywhere as long as you are holding on to something. You also started walking with your little Walk and Ride toy. You will be running around here in no time. I don't think I'm ready for that!
- are learning to understand words! You will "shake shake" a toy and do "arms up" to get undressed.
- are waving. It's pretty adorable.
- love. to. eat. If I'm eating, you have to eat too.
- are finally taking a bottle!! It only took us several months, and several bottles later ... but we finally found one you will take! Which is good, because I am going to start going to craft fairs soon, and you will need to be able to eat.
