Since I am so far behind,
I am combining Evin’s 13 month & 14 month posts.
{The pictures in her Easter dress were at 13 months, the pictures in the gray & white tank (holding her baby iPod that she refused to put down) were at 14 months.}
Weight: My guess is around 19 lbs
Length: Around 29 inches?
Clothes: 12 month
Shoe Size: 2
Diaper Size: 3
We slowly started cutting
out her bottles starting just a few days shy of 13 months. She took 3 bottles until she was 13 months 2
weeks, and then dropped down to just a morning and a bedtime bottle. Soon after that she started refusing her morning
bottle, so at 14 months she just takes a bottle before bed.
Eats 3 meals of solids and
1 snack a day. A very good eater and
pretty much eats what we eat now. Taking
Evin places has gotten exponentially easier now that she eats table food and I
no longer have to worry about pumping.
It’s so nice!
A few of her favorite
foods:
Pizza
Macaroni & cheese
Spaghetti
Fruit- blackberries,
blueberries
Peas
Cooked carrots
Bread/pasta
Puffs
We have to limit the
number of puffs she eats because I am pretty sure she could eat them ALL day!
I would definitely say
pizza is her favorite food. She is so
funny when she eats it too. You will cut
it up and put it on her tray, and she will immediately start shoveling it in,
but she also starts looking around to see if there is more on the counter. My mom said it is like the kids at a pizza
party at school who get their first slice and start scarfing it down and asking
for more- scared that everyone else is going to eat the rest!
Likes to feed herself with
a spoon. She usually needs help scooping
the food up, but likes to put it in her mouth by herself.
Still no teeth!
Loves to drink water from
her sippy with a straw.
Sleeps from around 8:45 pm-8:30 am. She is a pretty good sleeper for the most
part. We have a few rough nights here
and there, especially if she isn’t feeling well, but normally if she wakes up
at night she will whine for a minute, put her paci back in and go back to
sleep.
Some days she still takes
2 naps, but she can also get by with just 1 long (2-3 hours) afternoon nap.
Sleeps on her belly or on
her side. Doesn’t really ever sleep on
her back.
Uses her paci to go to
sleep and when riding in the car. She
wakes up in the middle of the night looking for it. I am not looking forward to the day when the
paci is taken away…
She is the speediest army
crawler ever. She is able to crawl on
her hands as well, but prefers to army crawl since she is faster that way. Her arms and her knees are always red from
rubbing on the carpet so much!
She doesn’t always want to
be rocked to sleep like she used to. Sometimes
she prefers to just be put in her bed and she will fuss for a few minutes and
then go to sleep on her own.
She has been too busy to
play with many toys here recently…she prefers to cruise around the furniture
and try to play with everything she isn’t supposed to! She loves to try to get cell phones, remotes,
her video monitor, etc.
Started throwing food off
of her high chair. We will tell her “no”
and she looks right at us, picks up another piece and throws it to the side
without ever taking her eyes off of us.
That usually earns her a little swat on the hand. Sassy!!!
Every night after her bath
I sit her on the bathroom counter to put lotion on and put her PJs on. There is a basket on the counter with all the
baby bathroom supplies and a few toys.
Every single night she goes through and throws them all on the
floor. I don’t even try to stop her from
doing it anymore, because I know I am not going to win that battle!
She loves to be
outside. Especially enjoys riding in her
Cozy Coupe car and in the swing she got for her birthday. She would swing all day if we would let
her. If it is time to get out of either
the car or the swing and you hold your hands out to pick her up, she will rock
her body forward and backward to try to get it moving again.
She is becoming more
social and likes to go out places to watch other people. She is a nosy girl!
Her hair is getting a
little bit curly in the back and I love it!
Still loves books!
Current favorites are:
Ten Tiny Toes
The names & faces book
I made her for her birthday that has pictures of family members
Lift-the-flap books
Can say a few words.
Da-da- had been babbling
this for awhile, but she actually connected it with her Daddy at 1 year 3 weeks
Beckham (Beb-um) &
Mama- both said at about 13 months 1 week
Baby (Ba-bee)
Became a BIG cousin on
April 11th when Ellis Paige Coots was born! She didn’t get to be around her much because
you were diagnosed with an ear infection the same day, but after a couple of
days she got to be close enough to know that she LOVED her and wanted to touch
her!
The ear infection was in her left ear only, and was her 4th one since November. Way too many!
The pediatrician said if she has one more we might need to go to an ENT
to discuss tubes.
Started blowing kisses at
12 ½ months. It is the cutest
thing! She holds her palm to her mouth
and says “mmmmmm-uh!” and throws the kiss to you. She even blows kisses to strangers
occasionally!
We started trying to get
her to stand on her own, which she can do for a few seconds at a time. She
doesn’t like the feeling at all and immediately sits down. We tried to keep practicing with her, but she
decided she just wouldn’t do it at all anymore…stubborn little toot!
Diaper changes are pretty
much impossible.
She started doing this
super cheesy grin and it cracks us up.
One day my mom said, “Evin, is that how you are going to smile in your
kindergarten picture?” I hope she
does!
Says, “Ehhhhh” in a shrieky
voice all.the.time. It sounds like a
bird call.
Started standing on her
tip-toes when she wants to see something up high.
Learned to put items in a container instead of just taking
them out.
Likes watching Mickey
Mouse Clubhouse.
Loves to shut doors. We will be in her room playing and she will
always go over and shut the door. She
must like to have privacy!
During these 2 months she
went to Austin a couple of times, celebrated Easter, gained another cousin,
went to a wedding (and Mommy had to get up with her because she was being
rowdy), went to a dance for the school that Mommy is subbing at, and made Mommy
feel special on Mother’s Day.
Evin is developing the
funniest personality. She loves to grin,
is a little bit sassy, silly and so sweet.
Watching her grow and learn has been incredibly fun and rewarding. For the most part, she
was super happy & easy these past 2 months.
Things have gotten easier as she grows and a happy girl makes it even
more stress-free for us!
We love you, little girl!
